Let's talk about maps.

I would like to share something with you. It's bothering me.

Maps.

Maps are pictures of places drawn by people. It's natural that people put a bigger emphasis on places that are important to them, and give less attention to places with less importance in their mind. It also makes sense that maps were, for their part, once used to create an image of superiority for the western countries over their colonies.

But we live in the year 2010 and what's bothering me is that we're still using corrupt maps.

Say no to geographical discrimination on maps! Google.
