eurocentrism

Eurocentrism is the practice of viewing the world from a European perspective and with an implied belief, either consciously or subconsciously, in the preeminence of European culture.

Definition taken from Wikipedia.

Man, why don't they talk about all the scientific advancements that other cultures contributed to modern civilization too? There's Eurocentrism for you.

eurocentrism

When you eliminate or omit the perspective and/or contributions (good or bad) of a group of people, usually people of color.

The show "Friends" and "Cheers" have eurocentrism themes, how many people of color did you see on these shows?

Can you say you live in a world in which you don't have any contact with someone of color? Few, if any can.

Eurocentric

Systems of philosophy and historical revisionism to downplay the culture, innovation and intelligence of darker persons.

As a eurocentric, I have never read a time in history of any West African high technological civilizations.

Egocentrism

Unable and unwilling to see a better way, only believing that what they believe is the right way.

People around the world should have a lot of guns like us Americans.

Egocentrism at it's best?
