What is a minority and majority depends on where one lives, of course.
And naturally, the moralist is quick to loose such a perspective that not the entire world lives in his own back yard, it seems. — perhaps if he were more aware of how vast and different the world is, he would have been more doubtful of his own moral convictions.

While, of course, you can find specific locations where they aren't the majority, you can also find specific locations, in the US, where white people aren't the majority. That doesn't change the equation when talking about punching up vs punching down. Neither is really relevant to the post; he's clearly using hyperbole to describe Rust zealots in other peoples' minds.

Somehow, I feel you simply speak of the plurality of your own back yard.
