“European” here.
There is no such thing as europe. It’s just white asia.
i eat with bare hands
Europe as a whole is swinging too far too the right. Y’all all are descending back into Fascism. The recent popularity of the AfD in Germany being a prime example. My own parents - who immigrated from Germany - are deeply disappointed in the direction the country is taking.
GDPR is great, but we all hate cookie banners
Too many people smoke in Europe and it’s too widely accepted.
Not Eurpoe specifically but I shared a rather basic comment on YouTube joking about Great Britain causing famines in India but its okay because they brought trains and the result is a mile long thread of pissed off UK suckers telling me I’m wrong, that there was no fammine, the Wikipedia article and its 300 sources are fake, and that the British empire totally went around modernizing civilization for the benefit of humanity. (Was a post about Irish complaining about a very crappy Irish History book made by a British author)
So I guess for any of those people, no GB was just a colonist empire racing to exploit the hell out of resources faster than France, Spain, and Portugal. The technology they brought was used almost exclusively in their conquest operations (Trains used to transport goods and resources) and they actively supported and supplied opposition groups to destabilize and overthrow governments similar to what the USA does today.
I mean seriously, they held immense power over China via opium and are responsible for practically every shill state in the middle east because they provided weapons to overthrow the Ottaman empire.
The iconic pan arab flag is actually a British designed flag given to all the opposition groups they funded to break up Ottaman power.
They fell apart after exhausting their power in WWII and the USA came in to save them so now they gleefully cheer about how they carried in WWII with intelligence services as if Germany couldn’t have easily invaded the entire nation overnight had Hitler not been an incompetent moron.
Thankfully, after exploiting half the world, they totally didn’t spend the last of their power screwing over every former colony into some long term problem that they could exploit without the need for military power.
I thought America was racist until I saw a member of UK Parliament tweeting about a boat of migrants sinking with “Good riddance”.
French food is wildly overrated, as is Paris.
France, Germany, and Austria all have a military-industrial complex problem. MIL money might not dominate their politics the same way as the US, but there is a problem there.
Even with their post-WW2 defensive militaries, Germany and Austria are perfectly ready to sell military hardware to anyone with the cash. H&K, Glock, and Steyr all hail from those two.
France sold off the Exocet anti-ship missile to just about anyone. As far as I can tell, it has only been fired in anger at the boats of other NATO members. Thanks, France!
Your cops are bad too
The American South equals the European East
European car manufacturers largely suck ass, I’d rather buy a Hyundai or a damn Nissan than some French or German piece of crap.
The question should read
“Americans; give us your baseless opinions of a continent you don’t understand, and then get a rage-on in the comments when you are laughed at”
As someone who isn’t a European, most of these comments are yanks being loudly wrong about something and the saying “see the europeans weren’t ready to hear it” when someone points out how stupid the thing they said was.
I will say the Americans not ready to hear post was pretty much everything I complain about all the time. I don’t think these posts are good in any way. It’s just slinging shit for no reason with no productive conversation.
Specifics?
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…
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.
You seriously never met a racist Asian?
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.
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.
The Irish are cool most everywhere tho.
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
Ask them about the English
Also “Gypsies.” Europeans aren’t fans.
Asians are racist af even against other Asians
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
It’s true. I would extend this to the world, though. The world is generally fucking racist
Yes they are, and the USA just re-elected someone who tried to institute a Muslim ban.
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.
don’t get me started on how badly Islam is vilified
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.
