The fact that GP operates from a position of extreme privilege, doesn't mean that what he says is not true or invalid.

To the question of whether something is wrong, it being "normal human behavior" is not an argument for or against.

Normal doesn't mean fair or right or harmless or good. That's what the article is about.

So why did he say it?

Fair is meaningless in context of culture exchange. So is right. Harmless - in the majority of the cases it is. So is with good.

A person whining against somebody using "his" culture, blindly ignores the fact that "his" culture is crossbreed that is constantly changing and evolving.

Should we all pretend that "fair is meaningless in context of culture exchange" is a reasonable thing to say now?
