I should have been more specific. Yes even in the USA, which I was talking about. When I talked about "diversifying," I meant to be truthful and being based on facts. As it turns out, it is easy to offend anybody with the truth when their chosen agenda is different. Even in the world we live in today. Maybe especially in the world we live in today.
