Language models will favour whatever is in the training data. Their home country will have a majority of the language they are targeting. Thus is will favour its home country. Who could have seen this coming. Come on guys critical fucking thinking.

Also people speaking your language probably talking better about their own country.

This research sounds legit but it should be called something like " our llms vs deepseek: does deepseek have a bias against English culture?"

Since my culture is neither English nor Chinese, I think this is a d*CK measuring contest.
