If I refer to you as "this Italian guy who just tried to dismiss an important issue with flawed reasoning" instead of "this guy who tried to dismiss an important issue with flawed reasoning", do you accept a difference in the two statements or not? If not, then you need to have a crash course in spotting ethnocentricity when subjected to it.
If I WAS Italian I wouldn't have a problem with it, but then there's your own assumptions coming to the surface eh?

You've missed the point. It doesn't matter if you're Italian or not, your name suggests it, and not knowing a whit about you, if I associated your name to your behaviour, that would be ethnocentric.
