(You really should check the history books and technology standards of other countries
before declaring the U.S. the principal nonconformists of the world.)

Universal human prejudices notwithstanding, all people are equal here in the United
States. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of every country in the world, and as a
result, international systems of government, distant time zones, and a plethora of
other external factors make it impossible to give everyone "the same rights
(turnaround times etc)" as everyone else.
Try not to internalize these things. It's not personal.
