¿Question #2928?
Musti: Do you think that the questions are a bit too much American culture-oriented?

Phil Fleischmann: Nope.
brasicano13: Yes.
pikkusiili2000: no
pricero1: Culture? American? Who said Germans have no sense of humour / humor?
gnatdbug: No.
zaphod b: I didn't realise there were non Americans here, Wilkommen Mate!
martidem: No
Felimid: Maybe ... but remember: There was a newspaper article that said that some American kids didn't even know (correctly) what happened on Dec. 7, 1941: "That's where the Germans attacked us." No joke. What if those same kids were asked who Rembrandt and Vermeer were, or what happened in May 1940 at Eben Emael or name two territories that were Dutch-controlled first, then English-controlled: New York (it used to be New Amsterdam) and South Africa (the Zulus first fought the Dutch, then the English). And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
arunka: yes of course.
Jatoha: yes
cobra: yes
Quixote171: No.
xofour: No, I don't. But I can see where people who are outside of american culture might have that opinion.
theredwagoneer: If you wanna make the world a bet-ter place, take a look at your self and make a... change.
ricardofo: no. I am brazilian and feel confortable with the questions, despite my english mistakes
xlorp: And yet many brilliant game designers are EUROpean
Narlgoth: Yes :- 1
onibaloney: No
Ringworm: tough cookies if you do.
WonderLlama: No I don't. Wait, which questions?
paattymaton: jep
chockle: Obviously, it's an American culture site, so no.
Beyak: gee, i haven't noticed
DHEK: For some of them, yeah. But it needn't be if the people who wrote the questions did so better or gave some more background information.
eddyspaghetti: Que?
Brentoon: Well I'm American, and as an American I have the freedom of speech to say that no American will ever admit that anything can be too American oriented
aleo09: hmmm, most of the community is from American culture. Go ahead and ask more questions to make up the difference.
moyet: Yes,
bigbadsteve: sure, why not ask some about netherlands?
mrspank: That's probably because more Americans are asking questions than any other group.
Nazhuret: not when you consider that America is the BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! WOOOOOO!!! GO AMERICA!!!!! WE TOTALLY WIN THE "WHICH COUNTRY RULES" GAME!!!!!!
cowdog: I've not seen that, but wouldn't be shocked were it so.
nerotora: Americans seem to have a difficulty in realizing that internet is an international medium of communication.
Cut & Space: yes
szilaj: Mostly.
dmomo: No
TMJJS: sure, but who cares?
rawdawg: eat me
vampywife: I think there are a lot of American culture-oriented, but that's because the people asking the questions are American culture-oriented. It's up to every Geek to make these questions pertain to different cultures, especially if they are from cultures other than American!
Avatar_69: Absolutely. But then, there are lots of Americans here. I could ask some Aussie questions if you like.
marshalljansen: I think if you think that you should endeavor to make non-American culture related questions. Get cracking.
Nekura: So add some that aren't. Duh...
koolking: I haven't answered enough of these questions to adequately answer this question.
Chris Page: Not!
starbug: It hadn't occurred to me until you asked. But I'd like to see questions from a non-American perspective. Make us think!
Connal: I don't know.
enricodandolo: On a euro gaming site? Not much.
brainrob: Yes ... but as most BGGers are, it's not surprising
richdknows: no
Werebear: So far, no. But maybe.
darthcliff: If so, then the europeans should ask more questions.
POvidiusNaso: Yeah, I suppose. But when I see "plow" misspelled, I really fly off the handle, so it's better this way.
ssmooth: I can't think of any reason they shouldn't be.
JamesT: No
axarca: Man, you exaggerate more than Moesha... What is this, "Eight Simple Rules?..."
Jim_P: Yes
GrandpaDave: I dunno
scriptorum: Not to me, I'm American.
Longbow: sigh
Dante_Cubit: Yes, mate. Or, bloke. lol
jellospike: Sadly, the world itself is too much american culture-oriented.
ValJor: Yes, indeed
sourwyrm: sure
2amp: i think the questions are mostly NOT game related
Belash: only when the Americans ask them
dakarp: I don't know. If you think it is a problem, ask questions. Anyone can do it.
mrbeankc: no
The Unbeliever: 42
skrutsch: Sure, but I guess a lot of people asking the questions are in the USA.
Lord_Prussian: Nah, if they are just ask some that aren't and shake things up.
StormKnight: What, there's someone other than us Americans? :-)
Ludocrazy: Not really
Redneon: Eh?
WasQ: Yes... I totally agree with you.
djlg: Yes, but its symptomatic of the demographics at the geek.
shotokanguy: Yes, there are far too many questions about baseball and apple pie.
Randy Cox: Uh, no. This is, with all due respect to our fellow world dwellers, a US site. If I go to fansoffootball.co.uk, I don't expect many American culture questions there. But here, well, that's the name of the game.
Ryno8: no
heli: undoubtedly
snoozefest: no
skelebone: Maybe, but since Americans probably comprise 60-90% of the board, you go with what you know.
puffinge: Maybe more non-Americans should ask questions.
CDRodeffer: Not any more so than the subscribership to the BGG as a whole.
jttm: Does it matter?
chaddyboy_2000: No.
Tim Synge: American: yes. Culture: not sure if that's a bit generous.
Spielfreak: no
CortexBomb: Not really, but I kind of take that for granted on the internet, as most places are American dominated that I visit
