That's the first time I've been asked to consider Americans to be an 
opressed minority :-)
(4% of the world population and they expect everyone else to suffer their 
illogical system?)
2 March 2003 is logical, natural to speech, and (so long as the month name 
is used) unambiguous.
In your terms, "March 2" is anti British, Anti European, Anti-Australasian, 
Anti-African etc. etc.
