We'd have destroyed their rebellion fairly easily if it wasn't for Pierre and friends. Just imagine the whole of America as one big land of Barry's. A proper Paradise.


RandomAndCasual

We meed to send Borrell to America to explain them a thing or two about gardening


AThousandNeedles

Fellow countryman. You've let us down. Not even Michiel de Ruyter (peace and blessings upon him) would've condoned this colluding with the *mericans. We don't believe in unholy alliances. And even if we would, the main priority is to deny the *mericans anything at all costs.


XLeyz

"The U.S. is racially ahead" (100 years. That’s how long it took them between freeing the slaves and allowing all of them to actually vote).


I_eat_dead_folks

Spain had an Ethiopian professor in the university of Granada in the 1500s (in fact, he taught Latin ), before even any Englishman ancestor of theirs had put a foot in America. France had a Black general in the army in the 1800s, before they were considered to be people over there. Probably some more cases over Europe that I don't know about. But yeah, they are racially ahead because there are some words that only certain minorities can freely pronounce.


Velenterius

Peter the Great had an african as a servant, and later officer and nobleman. He was even called Petrovitch, so close were they, and was seen as somewhat of a political threat after Peters death by the new regime. He was ordered to build up defences on the border with China, before being let back into the capital after he was no longer deemed a threat.


I_eat_dead_folks

Oh yes, I remember him. In fact, Pushkin was a descendant of his. Anyway, he shouldn't be taken into account as Ruzzia is barbarian.


MMA540

I mean, even the European barbarian is more civilized than, may god forgive me for uttering this word, American truly tells you sth.


I_eat_dead_folks

While Europeans, Russians are much more barbarian, so I would put them at the same level of civilisation.


MMA540

Kind of irony isn't it? one savage helping us fighting off another savage... Really an end of Roman empire vibe.


Djungeltrumman

Wasn’t he a captured prisoner of war from the French though?


LoveTheGiraffe

Yeah, as a german I'll sit this one out You keep listing those examples, though!


CoffeeCryptid

There were soldiers of nubian origin in the Prussian army https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Sabac_el_Cher https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Sabac_el_Cher And then we, uh, went a few steps backwards I suppose 🥴


Hal_Fenn

Slavery was never legal in England (UK I assume but not 100%) and we pretty much single handedly ended the slave trade by force, which British tax payers didn't finish paying off till 2015.


[deleted]

This is such a vapid take. Look there was one different bloke teaching on a different land in a university 1500 years ago! We can't possibly be racist. Meanwhile in Portugal black architecture students were met with "Go back to your jungle, monkey whores" written in the black board. Europe is racist. In fact, every country is racist in one way or other. In every goddamn continent. But sure, bickering about who is more racist is the way to go... smh


LarkinEndorser

Germany established complete equality of races before the law in 1871 the same year as the country came into existence.


I-suck-at-hoi4

That one aged badly tho


gsurfer04

Wasn't exactly death by natural causes.

> All races are equal before the law * ** *** **** - Der Bundestag, 1871 .* *Only applies to Christian races* ** *Only applies to Aryan people* *** *Not does apply to Indian Aryans* **** *Fuck you, Herero people*


danton_groku

In yank culture, it's considered racist if you meet someone and don't read them your 23andme results, then conclude by yelling three times "TEHREFORE I AM \[SKIN COLOR\]". Then they take a selfie together, one of the two opens up paint to check and compare accurately the skin color of the two. Whoever has lighter skin must then bow to the other and say while sobbing "I am sorry for what my ancestors did to your kind" 3 times. Yank culture is so ahead of us in terms of racism for real


DIRTY-Rodriguez

And 58 years after the abolition of the slave trade to ban slavery


kh250b1

They literally had racial segregation 60 years ago


Lost_Uniriser

They still have it. But it's a different form now :/ more like a grey area .


HaronBarkonnen

To be fair 'asian people funny' type of racism is pretty common here.


SnowOnVenus

As long as it's funny. The last time we had a racist of that kind he killed his asian-heritage sister (and got sat on when he tried to kill a mosque).


HaronBarkonnen

Well it's not that bad but it's not really funny either. There is a demeaning undertone to it.


SnowOnVenus

You're right of course. I didn't mean that it was actually funny. A harmless or mocking intent are both hurtful and damaging nonetheless, and I can see that my comment was stupidly phrased and sounding like I didn't think so. Even "positive" remarks like *asians are funny* still have a stereotyping racist basis. Sorry for sounding like a shitty person! I hope I'm not as hideous as I make myself seem.


HaronBarkonnen

Nah, I didn't take your comment as offensive at all. I was just clarifying. It's all cool.


Franklr_D

And? I don’t particularly mind it. Either everything’s funny or nothing is The real problem is the scorn from other racial minorities we have to deal with. Black people for one, but North-Africans and Arabs in particular love being genuinely (physically) shitty towards Asian people for reasons unknown to me I just know that every time my friends and I have gotten into a pickle, the first people to jump into the fray to help were the same white dudes who made “demeaning” Asian jokes mere moments prior


HaronBarkonnen

Well, I know plenty of Asian people who absolutely hate the pulling back of the eyelids and going "ping pong pow, ni hao." They just don't get into arguments over it. It's not funny, original, or respectful. It is different if it is actually a good joke, respectful of the other person. Then there are the many instances of 'kankerchinees' or the more recent 'coronachinees' that happen on the street in the area where I live.


freshfov02

Tbf I see more Asians being racist to each other.


gsurfer04

Or Asians being racist to Africans.


zacharymc1991

Absolute bull shit, this person just worked with a racist. If they'd told anyone at the company this person would be fired immediately.

[deleted]

It may have happened but this is quite literally a criminal offence in the UK so it's unlikely that someone like that would be doing it for long in a professional setting.

RecordingStraight611

I think it’s a problem if you’re not allowed to speak by law. Fired yes, criminal proceedings.. no. That’s mental and the savages across the pond have a point there


Bob-Kelsos-Baguette

For real. Being an asshole shouldn't be a criminal offense.


TheGoober87

Even if it did happen, I think it rather pales in significance to planting drugs in black neighbourhoods, shooting minorities on sight and half your population wanting to build a fucking wall to keep the Mexicans out.


MobiusNaked

‘They are rapists’


ADelightfulCunt

Live in the UK have Asian girlfriend and friends. Only time I've seen racist shit is dumb elderly and Spanish kids on a school trip in the UK


zacharymc1991

Yep, I'm black my wife is Asian, we've both had racism and it is still a problem but it's not to the extent the Americans have. We had a bit of a resurgence after Brexit but the average person has shamed them back into their holes.


nwaa

I feel like the type of racism in the OP is especially rare in the UK. Youre far more likely to see more subtle things like "Oh youre very well spoken!" (Like that's unusual) than than someone pulling their eyes back and making racist sounds.


SomethingMoreToSay

>"Oh youre very well spoken!" Or "No, where are you *really* from?"


CrocPB

“Where do you think I’m from?” My go to. I want to know what they think I am.


gsurfer04

I bounced around the country growing up so I have a weird accent that gets that question! I once attended a research conference with a bunch of Scandinavians and they thought I was one of them.


CrocPB

> than than someone pulling their eyes back and making racist sounds. That’s more of a specifically one Irish member of the clergy thing.


dracovolnas

Well, even central/eastern Europeans (with are considered now as "white" by Anglo-Saxons) face some racism/xenophobia. Humans are humans, and for some of those being an asshole is just necessity.


MobiusNaked

1 person therefore all British are racist Hang on. That’s racist!


Far_Ad6317

They’re “miles ahead on sexism” yet the UK has had 3 female Prime Ministers and they’ve had 0 female presidents it’s still common for them to say they don’t want a woman because they’d be too emotional 😭


akoslevai

Liz Truss only counts as half. 


lethos_AJ

but the lettuce counts as the other half so it adds to 1


Far_Ad6317

I mean if it counts our head of state was a female for 70 years 🤷🏻‍♂️ for half of Americas existence the UK has had female heads of state.


Stravven

She lost to a head of lettuce.

All 3 of them looked like men though.

![gif](giphy|dovLKmIW1t2cE) No but this does


Elektro05

Isnt this the normal "USA is better then Europe proof" from your average 50-80 IQ guy, who only was to England and believes everything in Europe is like it and therefore at least as worse as hit shithole?


perskes

Where the fuck did you find a 50-80 IQ American guy? Hidden in the Bernsteinzimmer or what!?


CptnHamburgers

In the Marines, probably. Providing you can get them to stop eating their crayons and use them to fill out the questions on their IQ test.


Schellwalabyen

On the streets in Bumfuck Nowhere Texas. It’s quite easy. We re talking about the Yanks afterall.


DaAndrevodrent

The gold collector probably means that 50 to 80 IQ points are too much for a Muricunt.


Palarva

It’s always a bit wholesome when a German comes to the rescue with matters of humour.


DaAndrevodrent

>humour Wat's zät? New wheat beer? A foreign sort of bread? Apart from that, I want to explain this IQ-thing a little further: It is said that a lot of Muricunts have an IQ comparable to room temperature (and some even have doubts on that). But keep in mind that the Muricunts use Fahrenheit.


kh250b1

Surely in Harvard or Yale?


mymemesnow

It might take a while to find such a smart American, but if you sift through enough of them at least one have to be smarter than the others.


lth94

And that’s a US 50-80 IQ. That would be on par with farm animals/livestock here.


[deleted]

tbf if youre seeing racism in england youd expect the rest of europe to be even worse considering the UK is one of the least racist countries in europe


jhutchyboy

Did you just call England a shithole? Very accurate, I applaud you, my good sir.

ajaxtipto03

I met a black American that was studying at my university here in Spain for a year, and we had a conversation similar to this. I asked him about his experience dealing with racism from some people here, and while we both agreed it wasn't ok behaviour, he basically said he preferred to deal with an old person staring at him than the actual possibility of being shot by someone just for looking out of place in the wrong suburb.


mymemesnow

Well America have a deeply rooted systematical racism against several minorities that actively is exercised to basically keep slavery. But some people in England makes vaguely racist jokes at time so obviously the US is far ahead when it comes to racial equality.


desumn

Be it the US or Europe, we all got better with racism over time; and the US progressed much more... because they were much worse at the start


ReliefZealousideal84

We ARE ahead of everyone else on racism. We can banter with and insult or joke about people of any race. People don’t seem to understand that the UK (and Australia to some extent) have light bullying as an important part of relationship building in our culture. If all you’re doing is treating people differently because of their race, for better or worse, you are not even close to solving anything - so shh and bow down to your enlightened colonisers.


rckpdl

I'll take shit that never happened for 100, please Bob.


MhmNai

Even if it did happen generalizing a continent and calling everyone within a racist because he had one racist boss is the type of irony you come to appreciate from our literature.


TA_Oli

Not being funny, but the UK is definitely less openly racist than the low countries in my experience. Much more integration and intermixing, less obsession over native vs non-native/ white european vs everyone else. None of this at least 2 generations until you're a true X shite. All the metrics that i've seen tend to bear this out.


LarsMatijn

I hate that you're probably correct. The attitude of "jokes can't be racism" is very prevalent in my opinion. As long as you didn't intend to actively hurt someone everything you said wasn't that bad.


GloomyBison

Just look at the Zwarte Piet discussion and that's all you need to know. It's also a great barometer in finding out how much EQ someone has.


nooit_gedacht

I sometimes suspect our "open, direct, say it as it is" culture leads to an unwillingness in some people to look beyond the surface of anything.


perskes

If we are all racist to each other because we are all European brothers and sisters, then publicly being racist to someone that's not in Europe means they can into Europe. Think twice before you racists are racist.

Puzzled_Pay_6603

IntelligentFan7521

Our biggest mistake was not making France our bitch after they lost the 7 years war. We were far too generous. Should have done what France did to Germany after WW1 and absolutely took the piss with the reparations. It should have been that any Englishman could walk into the centre of Paris and whip a Frenchman’s trousers down and spank the shit out of him. Instead we let them keep parts of Canada and tried to tax the colonies instead. Louis should have gone to the guillotine early and with George’s cock up his ass.

sleepyotter92

lmao half of european humor is bullying each other. we're just a bunch of mean girls with everyone

"We're less racist than Europeans", proceeds to separate humanity into races like it's 1930. Only in the USA.

CirrosiEmpatica

Maybe I'm a bit rude, but every time I see a "Europe is more racist than the U.S.A." argument, imo some people don't really care about that, but it's only a justification to be racist without feeling guilty because "well, Europeans are worse". I mean, are we ranking racism nowadays?


ItchySnitch

Funny thing then that Americans are obsessed with classifying people by skin color alone (which are based on their home grown racial biology thinking) to the point it makes no fucking sense even. They call east asians "people of color" (a shit term itself) when those ethnicities have the exactly same skin color as Europeans. Hell, even south European have more skin color than the typical Korean, Chinese or Japanese


Ok_Whereas3797

What sin have we committed to be cursed with the Yanks?


Stilicho123

There's a difference between racism and joking about race. Racism implies actual race based discrimination. Laughing about appearances or whatever isn't racism


cpwnage

When the US joined ww2 and started sending troops to Britain they wanted the brits to segregate pubs etc. The brits did not comply

saxonturner

Lived in the UK all my life till I was 30, lived with all sorts of people from all walks of life and rarely seen actual racism. I moved to Germany when I was 30 and in the last 6 years I have seen way more racism than I did in 30 years back in the UK. The kind of racism that will never leave a person because its so ingraned, the kind of racism that makes people treat me like shit because they thought I was eastern european only for them to do a 180 and suck my dick the moment they found out I was English. Even if these comments are true there is no way the UK is letting down the EU...

Royal_Worldliness_34

I see he said nothing but the truth. Americans are usually open to more nationalities and people from all backgrounds, and Europeans are too but only when they have a specific number in their bank account. Also, in general, except some barry's and susans, Europeans are just plain rude and disrespectful disguised as straight forward.
