Why do some people on SW talk about the US as if it's the only country in the world?

SW isn't even a US site.

Isn’t it ? It was meant to replace EP, which was founded by someone living in the U.S. (in San Francisco). There are probably a majority people from the U.S. here, as there was then. Not that that excuses any xenophobia, it doesn’t. 🙁

@FrankietheFly Like I said, it was established to replace the Experience Project, founded by Armen Berjikly, an Armenian-[b]American[/b]. When SW was being advertised that was how it was offered, in the wake of EP closing. It was mentioned that at least one of the founders had been a member of EP.
That’s [b]why[/b] so many people here are from the U.S. If you’ve decided you don’t like people simply because they’re Americans, you’re going to have to block (conservatively) about 60% of the folks here. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@FrankietheFly I have both friends and family in the UK, so I don’t assume anyone’s anti-American, until they indicate that they are.

@FrankietheFly Meh, just a bit. 😉

@FrankietheFly If someone posted a question accusing people of behaving as if the UK were the center of the universe, I doubt you’d be confused. 😏

@FrankietheFly The irony is, you’re actually unlikely to hear much criticism here because many people in the US romanticize the British.

@FrankietheFly It's the impression I got...that you aren't a big fan of Americans
