As user, I can confirm this. I was living a few years in another country as mine, and cultural differences are a reality of our world. It can be 100% normal to say something in one country when in a neighbour country, the same sentence will be taken as an affront. So, be cool. And maybe more important, respect each other. Respect is the only cure against all kind of racism. We are not living i a perfect world and so are we: unperfect. As said a Canadian poet: "Human beings have a problem: they don't like each other, but they don't like solitude either." So, if you feel at someone is showing some kind of disrespect, just ignore him or her. Otherwise, Georges idea to redirect the flame wars to another list sound very good.
