This happens when American culture and behavioral standard is extended to an international community.
FWIW, the CoC itself is quite neutral and contains (at least in my view) no American specificities, only general principles that most developers can identify with. Also, I would note that the majority of the current committee members are *not* US-based (from what I can tell) and that there is a good gender balance, so it's hard to argue it could get more diverse than that.
Well, perhaps I wasn't accurate enough. What I meant that the whole *need* of such paper as a CoC is in my mind related to political correctness and other Western trends. I was not a fan of the idea when people just said that a CoC would be constructed becuase it is so neccessary instead of such simple rules of normality like https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_a_jerk. Either somebody understand his sentence or any kind of detailed rules and laws of how not to be a jerk will be useless for him. Anyway, we are over it, and this is not worth too many word already, I just wanted to higlight this connection and think out of the box for a moment.. A detailed philosophical and cultural discuss is really not a Wikitech topic.
That, together with the history of MZMcBride should make us give credit to the committee (and question some of our own stereotypes ;))
I am not familiar with his history, so I have no opinion here.
