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".
