If non-Western people have objections to the choice of
venue, they can
speak for themselves. You might have missed it, but the era of
colonialism is over; Americans and Italians do not speak for
non-Westerners. Therefore, when I hear objections from Westerners, I
interpret them as "objections from Westerners".
What? Since when did America ever speak for any colonies? It was a
colony, it was never a colonial power...
