Most European countries have a very small ethnic minority, which would allow them to leave less impeded, whereas in the US, you have a significant number of minorities in black and hispanics, which would tend to cause far greater issues, yet we've largely dealt with them. Call me back when Europe has a country that has 30% of its citizens in a minority group. Until that happens, all arguments are pretty irrelevant...For the amount of minorities Europe has, there is a lot of strife. |
Well I'd also make that argument against northerners and westerners in the U.S. but I'm sure that is just the southerner coming out of me. But yea Europeans give the country a pretty bad rep... we're not that racist haha. Well at least not so much anymore. And given our diversity we don't have this constant issue of racist-nationalism although it does happen periodically.
