Why do so many threads spiral out of control like this?

All the OP asked was:  "My daughter got an invitation for a birthday from a classmate. It was mentioned on the invitation no boxed gift please. What that means? 
Thank you.”

It goes like this.

1. There is a post about a something that happens in another culture.

[b]2. There are numerous posts disparaging that culture.[/b]

3. Some of those posts are written in a manner that looks down upon the other culture and touts their culture as better than.

4. People from other cultures then point out flaws in this culture- people in glass houses sort of thing.

Thus the thread evolves.  It could have just ended with a simple non judgmental answer.  But that's never the case.

Clue me in please. What culture is being disparaged?[/quote]

[b]Any culture that does not conform to Standard American ideals and judgement.[/b]

no, the list mentioned “that” culture and I’m just trying to figure out which one or ones we’re talking about here.
Actually, it could be a caucasian American person not of any foreign culture who wrote that.  [/quote]
