Alan,
I did not have you in mind.
I was referring to the article you cited. Its author clearly separates Western culture and thinking ("individualistic", "analytical" etc ) from non-Western ones ( "collectivist", "holistic" etc).
I do not like when an entire ethnicity/ race is put on a psychological couch and every member gets slapped with a uniform label.
Humans should be viewed as individuals, not as homogeneous members of a breed.
Journalists like to sensationalize any information often caricaturing the message. Their rendition of the event or thought then goes to the wide public and infects it.
