Yeah, I think I reacted wrongly to what they were saying: I assumed that they were reacting to the same criticisms as I'd seen, and I assumed that the critcisms I'd seen really meant "don't portray our culture as if it's ALL like that" even if it came off a bit like "don't portray our culture as if it's like that when it isn't ever". And I reacted as if that's what they meant. But both of those assumptions are likey to be wrong.
