All I can say is that you're not the first use this term. For instance: The Eurocentric Fallacy Concerning Labeling Opposing Facts as Mere “Opinions.” Posted on February 26, 2010 It’s a fallacy to say that just because one does not agree with Eurocentric worldviews, that they are not speaking factually, they are simply not speaking factually according to the standards of Eurocentric epistemology.... http://c4reapalife.wordpress.com/2010/02/26/the-eurocentric-fallacy-concerning-labeling-opposing-facts-as-mere-%E2%80%9Copinions-%E2%80%9D/ This passage has an excellent example of a comma splice; but I suppose that rules about proper punctuation are simply another instance of the Eurocentric Fallacy.
