We the Europeans? "We" are dozens of different races. Please don't speak for me as meek or submissive. You can only speak for yourself.Everyone here has the same problem and the prominent problem with the world. People making rash generalizations. Categorizing people is just plain ignorant. Having lived in Europe and the usa, I have met more submissive people in the usa, but I would never make this kind of ridiculous statement. just as most of the people here are making massive generalizations about a religion of 1 billion people. ( I should say a group of religions just like within Christianity there are insane cults. But hey, that must mean all Christians are insane)
i recently received an email from an old American bigot in relation to "Europeans" and what the evil Europeans did to the Jews. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what's wrong with this statement but it's the same thing that's wrong with all the statements here.
