Ha, I saw a hockey player being interviewed once, he was a black guy from Canada. All the interviewer wanted to talk about was how unusual it was to be an “African-American” hockey player. The guy kept correcting him, saying “I’m Canadian”. It seemed like he had to say this about 10 times. The news man seemed completely flummoxed by this.
Exactly. The hockey player was not operating according to the worldview that newsman had been indoctrinated(or brainwashed, a more accurate term) into.
