That's not accurate, for me, at all. I recognize that there are different types of people from different places, but I don't obsess on it, or make threads about it. For me, the internet is all about
bringing people together, and there aren't any restrictions on that based on geographical boundaries or national affiliations.

Exactly. The internet has brought us
together, allowing us to
learn about each other, and
now, we can focus on our common
humanity.
This is because the internet has no national boundaries. The internet is everywhere. To try to give it a geographical attribute is inherently illogical to me, and I just can't get past that.
There are no foreigners on the internet, only human beings. This is the new world order you've been hearing about. One world, one love. All that.
P.S. I don't notice anything different about this place that sets it apart from more "international" boards I have posted on. So that right there tells me that we are all just human beings with a lot of things in common no matter where we're from. To try to place us in categorized boxes seems superficial to me. That's not what the internet is for. It's for coming together, not huddling in homogenous lumps.
