I totally understand and agree with your analysis of the problem, but I think blaming other people wouldn't make me feel better if I were in your shoes.

I think my last comment is quite relevant, and even though it might sound provocative, it's deadly sincere. I never thought that in a western country someone could allow this. I also agree that I don't know the situation so well, but discovering the existence of this practice in the US (and most importantly the fact that it is going on since so much time - accepted by the population) is a step forward in understanding your "culture".
