re: #4 Sergey Romanov

When it come to countries or groups. Cultures can be unequal. It’s OK to say so and think so. It’s not an objective measure, sure, one doesn’t argue about tastes. But I have no problem sayin that the modern US culture is better than the modern Saudi Arabic culture.

That middle part right there is the key. Most older Saudis I’ve met (and even some young ones) feel their culture is far superior to anything that exists in the West, and we think they’re brutal and backwards. So instead of doing something productive, we just point at each other, scoff, and beat our chests like Tarzan.
