I found myself being quite skeptical about a lot of what Lisa Nakamura wrote.  I found her self-assessment of being paranoid as probably not being too far-off.   Also I thought she was guilty of in some cases only providing one example and making it seem as if this was just the tip of an iceberg, rather than an anomaly of ice in an otherwise warm environs.

One thing (an analogy) though helped me to begin to with a more open mind read her work (I'm far from finished).  My roomate is from Dubai (he's in fact Indian) while I am from Jamaica.  I moved into the apartment we live in, about 3 weeks ahead of him.  And in that time, I setup and designed the apartment (exception being his room) as I saw fit.  It later occurred to me that being the seond one there, his input was relegated to minor adjustments, as opposed to the general design which I was responsible for.

Lisa (if I may be so familiar as to call her by first name only) makes this point as well.  The internet's design in large part was done by the well-off in this country and certainly not by poor 3rd world citizens of Jamaica.  As a consequence, the inherent worldview of these designers (which I do agree is quite homogenous given their similar backgrounds) is probably inlaid online.  At least as much as my apartment bears more semblance to a Jamaican home rather than one from India/Dubai.
