The Western perspective on the world – as reflected in our media, at least – is singularly arrogant and egocentric, usually portraying other nations as unwashed illiterates and China as primarily a source of cheap goods to fill our Walmarts.

Like how convinced we are in the United States that the future of our economy is technology and innovation. That only makes sense if your base assumption is that the rest of the world has subhuman intellect and is incapable of innovation.
