Sis asks do you want something general re: culture affecting viewpoints or something relating to this particular field?
She can give you references that essentially just say "someone's culture affects their worldview" but she feels that the way you have phrased yourself above implies that there is a specific study that proves that in relation to your area, which she is not sure if there is.
Possibly this is what your supervisor is objecting to? Perhaps rephrasing to something like "Culture affects the way we see the world, so it is likely that editorial boards made up entirely of people from the US and UK will have an idea of "global significance" which is skewed by their own cultural situations" might be OK?
