True, but as with many other trends, things _start_ in America, then conquer the rest of the world (often in a distorted, sometimes significantly worse way). Maybe a wrong example, but the political life of my home country was bad enough but when some politicians started to import professional political consultants from the US then everything got significantly worse. Another example: English is not my native tongue and in my native tongue nouns are not gendered so I always have to pay a bit more attention to them (e.g. someone from Germany or Italy uses gendered pronouns much more self-evidently than me). Now because I work with people from all over the world, I had to start paying attention not just to use he/she properly, but all the other stuff, it's quite stressful actually (because we all know: embracing diversity definitely does not include embracing the social mistakes made by e.g. autists, foreigners). So what happens in America matters, a lot.
