I am interested in relevant perspective. I'm disinterested in listening wherein people disguise their lack of insight with the prop of their background and nationality.

Some people use their insight, intelligence, and education to dress up their ignorance in better clothes.

I'm also wondering why someone Who grew up in Russia and moved to Australia would have a deeper insight into the the country I've lived in all my life.



I'm referring to this statement:

Someone from an ex soviet state isn't better positioned to understand our current crisis anymore than someone who was once almost killed as a child by dogs is best suited to understand the "dangers" of dog ownership.

Your mixing words here. I would definitely say a child bitten by a dog has a "better perspective", but agree that they aren't "best suited".
