Hm, I think that maybe it explains this tendency. However, I don’t think that a big proportion of people in the community being located in one country should be an excuse for forgetting about cultural diversity here, and treating everybody as if they came from the same background. I don’t know exact numbers, but I think that this “majority” is rather 70%, not close to 98%. Also, if we want to expand EA it’s super important for it to be welcoming, and I think the tendency to ignore cultural diversity (i.e. by requesting everybody to adopt US-adjusted norms and shaming people who don’t/are confused/behave not according to those norms as their culture has different way of expression) makes expansion unnecessarily difficult.
