I was referring more specifically to the division lines you contrived between Europe/North America on one hand and Central and South America on the other hand even both more or less share the same values and ideals.
So it can't be cultural, so it could be ethnocentric and therefore was my question for you.
- joshuapants 12y agoAre you using some new/nonstandard/uncommon use of "ethnocentric" that doesn't involve culture? I'm not sure if you're trying to subtly paint me as a racist, but it seems that way. Europe, North America, and Latin America are all very different in all but a few superficial ways, but I do find that Europe and North America are more like each other than either is like Latin America.
- sdm 12y ago> I do find that Europe and North America are more like each other than either is like Latin America. "Latin America" is very big area and it overlaps with North America. In my experience the most European-like country in the Americas is by far Argentina.
- joshuapants 12y agoI apologize for finding it easier to contrast "Latin America and North America" rather than "Latin America and North America minus the one part of North America that also happens to be Latin American." I thought my meaning was fairly clear. Europe and North America are very big places too. Both have regions with differing cultures to various extents, as well.
