  USAans believe that we have the strongest history of (a) racial-based slavery systems (b) whose victim's descendants are still here to be concerned about, (c) recently enough to still feel relevant (not ancient Rome) What are other examples that match?

    > What are other examples that match? The existing slavery that still goes on all across the world today? Slavery isn't limited to just the history of the US. In fact, the article makes this exact point, and as the reason for the issue. So when someone says: "IT community is much wider than the USA and doesn't care much about quirks of history of USA as a basis for confusing things up." they clearly didn't read the article and is ignorant of the issue being discussed.

      Of all the problems migrants in Qatar face, computer things being called master's slaves is not one of them. You can take a shot at trying to help them, but I bet you'll just continue to tackle a non-problem.
