   Isn't it funny how it's always "specific regions" and never "our   
   culture" that is to blame.    
      
   Which is not to say that they are wrong, just that those "specific   
   regions" may be populated by people that the makers of the youtube   
   think of as "them" rather than "us".   
      
   IOW, it may be a part of stereotyping a despised minority.
