I don’t know about the rest of Europe, but in Italy the easiest way to spot a true racist asshole™ is to wait for them to say the word ‘race’ at all.

Same in France and I think it’s the same for a big part of Europe, that’s why it’s so weird for us to see american people talking about “races” here.

The EU officially rejects the categorization of human beings into races. Because we learned something from WWII. Whereas US America is downright obsessed with “race” and someone’s descent and origin. 

What’s worse is that they take their concept of “races” and try to apply it everywhere else, which … doesn’t really work all that well (but when has that every stopped US Americans?).

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS!

We don’t talk about races, because there *are* no human races. We’re all just one race, homo sapiens.

This is deeply funny to me because a) racism in its modern conception and as an institution was literally invented by Europe soooo and b) Europe is incredibly racist, antisemitic, anti-Romani, etc. The idea that you are all somehow better than Americans at racism because you have different codes for expressing it is just hilarious. Get off your imaginary high horse.

Literally ‘Oh, I see you think this has nothing to do with you?’ the thread.

white europeans: *literally invent the concept of whiteness, white supremacy, the trans-atlantic slave trade, create and institutionalize whiteness and racism*

white europeans: “we’re enlightened and anyone who talks about race is just a racist. we dont see color. we’re all the human race. americans are primitive and backwards and silly and racist for talking about race.”

poc:

No offence but living in Britain the quickest qay to spot a racist in Britain is look for the person who’s deeply uncomfortable acknowledging race and will always insist it’s not about race (it’s about political corrrectness/benefits/immigration). 

Also absolutely NO ONE in France gets to talk about how they “learned something from WW2″ given how France treats their Romani population

The last 4 posts on this thread. YES YES YES YES YES. 

Europe invented racism, Europe is still hella racist, Europe is racist through and through including in all its nice little progressive left wing movements that never use the word race but talk about ‘cultural differences’ and ‘the age of enlightenment’.

Europe is racist through and through

ESPECIALLY in all its nice little progressive left wing movements that never use the word race. 

 This is totally about you.
