No. I mean that if a discussion is going on about a particular country, and there are people from that country in the discussion, then their opinion is what matters TO THEM. Others can have opinions, but they are rather irrelevant to the people of that country.
Take King Charles. I think he's an entitled twit. But I'm not going to go to a forum full of Englishmen and tell them that their King, who used to have fantasies about being a tampon inside his adultering mistress, is a twit. My opinion TO THEM is irrelevant. So I wouldn't bother.
Most Americans don't care what foreigners think about America. The only time that an American will quote a foreigner is if that foreigner agrees with them. If that foreigner disagrees, then the American will ignore the person or tell them to bugger off. That's just the attitude. And I'm sure that people in other countries feel the same way about Americans giving their opinion of their country. I've seen it here ... just watch an American say that London is a mess ... certain English posters get their heckles up.
