Relax. That post may have been highly insulting but hardly ethnocentric. Canadian ethnicity closely resembles that of the U.S. I have lived in Canada nearly ten years now. Though not an expert on film schools here, from what I have been able to observe I found the remarks plausible and not highly insulting. I suppose there are those academic enclaves that would choose to feel highly insulted, but most Canadians aren't inclined to concern themselves with Yankee criticisms in any case.
