    I would never clap back a Europeans criticizing the USA. It would be impolite, and they’re usually right anyway. I’d love to move to the EU someday too; but it won’t happen because the only thing they hate more than USians are brown Muslims 😔.

        God dude looking at comment threads of people in Europe talking about the Romani is genuinely sickening.

          It is a self-serving circle. People assign certain behaviors to Romani, refusing to take them as a part of the society. Then the Romani will act that way, since it is expected anyway, and there is barely chances to do otherwise. And the cycle has continued for a long time, creating a culture that is not only shunned by the society, but also sees itself not being a part of the society, so their actions reflect on that. Stopping the cycle is incredibly difficult, as the racism is ingraved deep. That does not mean, that it should not be the goal, though.

        I’m not sure about that. Each time there’s conflict between Romani gangs and Muslim gangs the fascists always cheer for the Romani.

        The fascist party of my country actually has some good support among the Romani communities.

          That’s nice and all, but you’ll get the same look as someone saying “Latinx” IRL

            LOL that’s okay, IRL I’m not usually speaking to a global audience, so I just say American. And I’m weird enough I get funny looks no matter what I say anyway 😆 .

      Our Epstein class let in a ton of brown Muslims, it didn’t went well for the local population.

      To be fair, right now all EU is not high on any kind of immigration, because of above-mentioned + housing crisis + working condition going down.

      The second you speak the local language though, that perception changes 180.

        What you meant to say, is that we bombed the shit out of their homes and then started screeching about the people seeking asylum?

        To be fair, right now all EU is not high on any kind of immigration, because of above-mentioned + housing crisis + working condition going down.

        Also we kinda let them drown on Mediterranean sea, and treated the ones coming in like shit, that helped a bit

        The second you speak the local language though, that perception changes 180.

        Bullshit, then starts the complaining how they speak so badly and don’t understand what you’re saying etc. For some reason many people take it as a personal insult that someone speaks their language badly, rather than as a compliment that the person has gone through the efforts to learn it

          Yes. It’s all your fault and mine. We are both the Epstein class and we are directly responsible for both manufacturing the wars and invasions, the refugee crisis (which definitely did not contribute to worsening the power of working class across Europe with influx of workers who did not join the unions and had to accept to work for less to survive), etc. etc. It’s definitely our fault, and thus EU fault.

          I also don’t really remember EU bombing Africa or Middle East, only USA & UK, who are famously not part of the EU, but sure.

          Bullshit, then starts the complaining how they speak so badly and don’t understand what you’re saying etc.

          I do not presume to know about the shithole you’re living in, but in Poland the moment a foreigner tries to speak Polish (yes, even the hated “brown Muslims”) this doesn’t happen. Heck, there’s even a chain of Vietnamese restaurants that is marketing itself making jokes about expecting racism and not receiving it.

          rather than as a compliment that the person has gone through the efforts to learn it

          Yeah, no. The effort is expected. You compliment on exceeding expectations, not for meeting the bare minimum.
