But this is the English wiki, and as such, only the format used in English-speaking countries applies.  What's anti-European, anti-African (except for English speaking countries) is of no consequence.  It's true that the British, Australian, New Zealand version, etc., may be different.  I don't know what Canadians use.

That's the first time I've been asked to consider Americans to be an
opressed minority :-)
(4% of the world population and they expect everyone else to suffer their
illogical system?)
2 March 2003 is logical, natural to speech, and (so long as the month name
is used) unambiguous.
In your terms, "March 2" is anti British, Anti European, Anti-Australasian,
Anti-African etc. etc.
