" that's a lot of Rudyard Kipling ethnocentrism bullshit."

No, that's my take on Turkey in it's current state. In Turkey you can study philosphy at one of the worlds most progressive institutions, and fear for your passport all at the same time! Yeehaw! Geedyup doggy!

Way to rebutal and prove my point at the same time.
Oh, and it matters little where these posts come from, or who it comes from... it's still a "white liberal American mindset" (you've heard the expression before?) to view every situation in racial terms, and you don't have to be White or Liberal or even American to subscribe to them or pay 'em lip service. Do you? Can you string two thoughts together at once? It's even more cliche to view every situation in a racial context and then turn around and accuse others of being ethnocentric or xenophobic. Doesn't that suggest you're in fact the one being ethnocentric here? Learn to tie your shoes first.
