Would this sort of thinking be why it's almost impossible for someone from en: to become a steward these days?
Do you have facts and names to assert that claim David ?
This question was answered on the comcom list a month ago, when someone asserted stewards from en: were a majority. To quote someone else's reply then: "There are 18 active stewards. Four are from en. Four out of eighteen is not a majority. (For the record, there are two from fr, two from nl, and one each from es, no, it, ro, zh, it, and ja.)" You participated in the thread in question, so could have found the message in question as easily as I just did.
These are facts, but they do not go to support your assertion, which was: "It's almost impossible for someone from en: to become a steward".
The fact that :en stewards are not a majority in the current composition of the pool of stewards does not give an explanation of why you would say that it is "almost impossible".
