"I'm saying that your experience does not appear to be the norm,"

Say rather that my experience does not reflect the norms in your experience. Personally, I do not feel victimized or excluded, but I understand that others do.

I have no problems admitting to ignorance. There is a lot I don't know. I've talked to many protestants about what makes a Baptist different from a Lutheran or a Methodist but the subtleties elude me. I believe that Episcopalians are American members of the Church of England, sort of. Not understanding is not the same as not respecting.

Why should we care how the rest of the world views America? That is a subject for a whole other post, a bit off topic for this one.
