Oh yes, (systemic) sexism and racism don't exist outside the United States at all, do they? Feminism is simply just a part of some American agenda of cultural imperialism, and everyone knows that Western Europe is a utopia when it comes to gender and race issues. (Apparently everything I've read in the New York Times--not to mention The Guardian--is a big fat lie. Who knew?)

Really, how does one respond to that?

Fall 2004 I lived in London in the West End (Gower Street, to be specific) as part of my study abroad.

Now, London's simply too cosmopolitan to really learn anything meaningful about its culture without, I don't know, joining a club or something (and I did spend a decent amount of my time exploring the city)--I learned more about British culture by watching British TV than anything else I did while I was there, I think.
