Europeans are really fucking racist. Asians and Jews are cool and yet yall are really weird about them. and don't get me started on how badly Islam is vilified...
European here, you're entirely right. The racism here is heavily engrained in the cultural rivalries, where we're racist against all the foreign cultures, and there's just so many of them you can't reconcile all of them. Italians, slavs (and all the different slavs), Nordics, Spaniards, Dutch, German, French, Russians, etc. And that's not even scratching religion, color, or other continents.
The Irish are cool most everywhere tho.
Lol, get the Irish started on the Travelers, and it'll come out for them, too. The amount of times I hear "They're knackers, they're just scumbags," or similar when one of them shows up was pretty surprising, initially.
Earned their stripes denying the English parasites
If you want to hear a bigoted rant, get a French person talking about the Spanish.
Now that's news, I don't think I ever heard something bad about the spanish from a fellow french
I've heard it a few times, from young and old, took me back I must say. A lot of it was when I was making a day trip from Biarritz to Bilbao, by train and bus. Yikes, I thought you guys got along ok! Apparently not.
Maybe when nearing the border it gets shittier
Ask them about the English
No way, lol! I always make it very clear, je viens de nouvelle zelande. And I'm not still upset about that terrorist attack by your spies...
Also "Gypsies." Europeans aren't fans.
That always blows my mind. They get more hate than the jews even from some of the most tolerant Europeans.
Nobody is "weird" about Asians or Jews where I live, that I know of. I'm even half west-Asian myself. Nobody had been weird about it to me, ever. I was always met with positivity regarding my heritage. Surprised to see you say this, to be honest.
middle eastern person says on internet that they haven't experienced racism, must mean there's no racism
Not what I wrote at all if you pay close attention but okay.
Asians are racist af even against other Asians
And that justifies anything?
damn you got upset at me saying Asians are cool? what a clown
and racist
I'm not surprised, they have to live with them!
Although in fairness a lot of it is anti Japanese hate, and that was some heinous shit that went down in the 40s, even by WWII standards.
Some of the most racist people I've met are Asian. My neighbor is a Filipino Trump supporter who was patrolling the property with a concealed gun during the BLM protests
cool you can post that in the next thread about things the sinophere isn't ready to hear
It's true. I would extend this to the world, though. The world is generally fucking racist
You seriously never met a racist Asian?
are you stupid? what makes you think i said that
You called out one group for being racist and said another was cool as if they are not also really racist
Of course he has, fuck's lying or stupid
try reading what i wrote again you fucking moron
...hmmmm....apparently it's "stupid"
Yes they are, and the USA just re-elected someone who tried to institute a Muslim ban.
Tu quoque.
Europe likes to pretend it isn't racist because its cops don't beat up black people (for the most part). US racisim, OTOH, is on full public display. This doesn't make one better than the other.
That might have been true twenty years ago when the racist political parties were fringe groups with a few % of the vote share in most countries. Now that they're frequently getting 20 or 30 something % if not winning elections outright I don't think many people still hold the illusion that there aren't a lot of racists in Europe.
who gives a shit about the US?
Dude... Have you met Asian & Jewish people?? They're racist as f#*k 🤷🏽♀️ What I'm saying is: Racism is everywhere.
Edit: Added the end bit.
what makes you think i said otherwise?
Asians are pretty based ngl. I know plenty of muslims who are cool, but many tend not to be cool when/if they grow in number
Islam is a religion, not a race. It's a set of ideas. I don't think attacking the religion is morally wrong, as long as you don't attack the races that commonly practice it.
Pedo Worship do be like that
What is this about ?
The main daddy married then raped a child aisha. Wikipedia has a decent write up around it.
Instead of admitting that this is fucked up bullshit they go around explaining how that's just things were back then... Where did we hear this before, looking at these rock stars that idiots are still explaining away. Or go straight into meltdown mode.
I guess because their funny book said it and it is about their pedo daddy, we can't point out this is pedophilia and it should not be justified.
