I think your anti-Americanism is misplaced. Let's
look at some of the
key people involved in the VisualEditor project. Erik is German, James
F is British, Roan Kattouw is Dutch, Timo Tijhof is Dutch. If you were
to skim the list of the engineering staff, they are extremely diverse,
with many remote employees throughout Europe and a number of relocated
Europeans (and others) working in San Francisco. So I think your
implication that the VE is some element of arrogant American
imperialism is false, and you should retract it so that others will
continue to take your feedback seriously.
As I understand it, "anti-american" is a term people use to demonstrate
that they should be considered the polar opposite of "anti-american",
whatever that may mean. I do not recall having seen the term used to add
new information to a discussion. I do not see where the grandparent made
claims regarding the nationality of engineers working on Visual Editor,
or arrogant imperialism; I rather see an interpretation of the situation
that is well-founded and unsurprising.
