What an incredibly narrow and US-centric view of Twitter.

It's only "US-centric" if you include its vassal states in the definition, more correct to say "West-centric view" probably.

That's of course assuming these things aren't happening on Twitter in other spheres (which would be an interesting data point - it would indicate that it may not be something intrinsic to the format, but with current issues in Western culture).

How large is Twitters non-Western user base anyways, in percentages?

Japan and India alone account for 14.0% and 5.6% of Twitter's users, which together are higher than the amount of users in the US at 18.4%.
