i figured as much that use of western ideals were probably cuz the target was the west.
but in my experience speaking for a different culture genreally never works. i am an indian who has lived outside of india for the last decade...and there have been occasions when i have engaged in a political debate i have been toldthat i cannot possibly know what i am talking about by both indians and westerners because i am an outsider.
anyways i do not want to go into identity issues...
the idea of a child being a child should be universal. when i see the piece all i see is a little black kid with guns in hands but an aspiration of being an NBA star...and that takes away the impact because it comes across as that is the only way out.
perhaps speak about this from our own cultural point of view.. i dunno
sorry for rambling...
