Is this really the case?

Even if it’s true, I wouldn’t say this is anything to be proud of or something to uphold. Why not use international standards to make the place more welcoming the the majority of the world?

How do you think the US or China became leading world superpowers? By welcoming every standard and culture of the world?

Oh wait, that is Europe. And look what happened to them. (Spoiler: they are not number 1 any more)
