But this particular issue, yes, it looks so very, very NorAm to me. I feel a lot of the issues PoC are raising about the White culture of SFF are the same or very similar as the issues I have with SFF being so North American.
In many ways, it's not just NorAm, it's US. As a Canadian, there's a lot in this that is sort of but not quite the same as my experience. Being situated so close to the US (and being saturated with their media) makes finding the differences between "them" and "us" both trickier and, for us at least, more important.
I get, for instance, very tired of explaining to Americans that neither their First nor Fifth Amendments mean anything to me, nor do they have any right to bear arms in my country, thank you very much. I do note, however, that some of them are aware, with varying responses, that in Canada, a marriage takes place between two people, not between a man and a woman.
Speaking of the seasons, most of the news coverage I've heard lately has been about conditions in Sydney and Melbourne - have you had severe heat problems in Brisbane as well?
My part of Canada has been having one of the coldest winters in a very long time. Whereas the part of Canada known for being very very cold in the winter has been having record periods of temperature that's above freezing. But of course, all of this erratic weather has nothing to do with global climate change.
