Why the hell would I even do that? If, however, I was friends with someone from Djibouti and found some pictures of his country, I'd definitely post them to show some interest about his country/lifestyle/background. People often share with me the stuff they find about Brazil, for example, for the very same reason.
At least when people showed me the things I disagreed with (such as the film "Cidade de Deus") I had the decency to knock the film but still appreciate the move of the poster who just wanted to share something about myself.
But, in your case, of course, it's a blatant attack if it doesn't fit your standards. It's like you search for an excuse to be oppressed.

this is so right. I don't know any human interaction which is not based on an attempt to understand other people through shared (or an attempt to newly explore) backgrounds--
Lira identifies as a linguist, I don't know much about linguistics, but will attempt to use my crappy superficial understanding of it to talk to him about it since its interesting to me! Similarly Lira would admit he doesn't know heaps about transgender stuff, but is interested and is attempting to empathise with nef so posts a link..
Lira wouldn't freak the fuck out and call me a complete idiot, or moron if all I had to go on was a "linguistics for dummys" book though, even if it was full of simply innacurate or wrong information, he would most likely point to a better source, or just smile and nod politely... Nef on the other hand freaks the fuck out, calls Lira a bigot (when everyone knows Lira is most likely the least bigoted person on TA) and offers no useful information at all...
