I am constantly amazed that "society" means America. Also, that all the examples are always how white majority countries have white majority X. What about China? What about Indonesia? What about Malaysia, where there is a lot of racial diversity?

Americans think their country is the world. Trust me, you are definitely less than 5% of the world population-wise, even if you are ~25% of nominal world GDP.

It is really sad how insular Western culture has become, and weird in an industry and era where the biggest tech IPO was Chinese.

I am not American. But I do live in a western society.

The author of the manifesto lives in a western society. So I'm discussing society with respect to our experiences.

I'm not sure how your comment relates. There are other societies in the world, I agree.
