But I think the main target is that which was 'named' by those of the West. The idea that if anyone does it, that's fine. If the West does it, that's bad.

Basically if it isn't Euro-American but was named by Euro-Americans, it's going to go. Oddly, that's taking the visible presence of those people groups off of shelves and off of cultural displays.
