=== American bias ===
Because the United States circumcises so many of its male infants, [[circumcision]] is often said to be an American cultural value, and it is accepted as “normal.” Cultural bias on this issue may be most obvious when considering the practice of female circumcision in Africa. Americans regard the practice with horror, the way Europeans, who do not cut the genitals of male or females, regard American circumcision.<ref name='CRC 2011-03-06'>{{REFweb
