    I hope more “Americans” (*) reading this would take it to their heart and check what they’re posting, commenting, and up/ down voting. Change starts from ourselves.

    (*) Americans is a term I am not comfortable with, but there’s no alternative, right? I am from South America and always pissed me a bit that up there they are “the Americans”. Is like the argument over the Gulf… only that it was never discussed :(

      On that, I think it took an extreme, real caricature to make me more cognizant of that. Like, it’s mind boggling that some are cheering on the Gulf renaming, but I guess it’s a microcosm of what’s been going on for a long time.
