Reviewers "talking down to (Global South) authors" is NOT a SHOCK to me.
Active for 8 years in the domain.
As someone who happens to do research in not Global North/Western contexts AND who just read thousands of conference paper reviews as a planner - you would be SHOCKED at the ways that reviewers talk down to authors that they believe are from the Global South. It is so fucked up.

The Bangladeshi garment workers are fighting for a minimum monthly wage of USD 210.
The report claims this is the cheapest labor in the whole world.
Bangladesh's most important export sector is the textile industry, yet workers say they're paid far too little and are taking to the streets in protest. The country's minimum wage commission announced a wage increase, but the workers and union leaders are demanding twice as much.
