Interesting, I didn't know that! I'm not an expert in any way so it was probably a bit inappropriate to just assume what the author stated to be true - however, I don't want to focus on the discussion whether, how and where Redlining is existing in the US, because I notice this trend a lot. Another, (hopefully less controversial) example: Recently, I read an /r/askreddit thread titled "What sucks most about getting old?"(paraphrasing here) and literally about two third of the top level answers were something along the lines of "how much medicare cost/ how you can't have that much nice things because of doctor's appointments". Hint: It's not getting old what sucks here and neither it have to be that way. I'm not saying that other countries are flawless, or even that they're better, but it's usually prefaced with "Well here in India" or "As a citizen of Belgium" - Americans just seem to assume their experience is valid for everyone.
