If the models from the big US labs are being overfit to benchmarks, than we also need to account for HN commenters overfitting positive evaluations to Chinese or European models based on their political biases (US big tech = default bad, anything European = default good).
Also, we should be aware of people cynically playing into that bias to try to advertise their app, like OP who has managed to spam a link in the first line of a top comment on this popular front page article by telling the audience exactly what they want to hear ;)
Americans have an opposing bias via the phenomenon of "safe edgy", where for obvious reasons they're uncomfortable with being biased towards anyone who looks like a US minority, and redirect all that energy towards being racist to the French. So it's all balanced.
