        I think, apart from to racists, Europe is just a reference to a region.

          An arbitrary region with no material or geological basis. They just drew a line and said “this is where Europe ends and Asia begins”. Nonsense.

            they didnt draw a line, they drew 272 different lines.

            europe is the UK and france

            europe is the EU

            europe is anything west of russia

            europe is anything up to the urals

            europe is whatever people want it to mean in that particular moment.

            More or less how it works. Your country isn’t special.

              First off, god damn America. All my homies hate America.

              Now that that’s out of the way, Europe and Asia are not countries. In fact! The dividing line between Europe and Asia runs through a damn country. That’s such obvious nonsense. Europe is just Crackerland, its so-called boundary runs through a country lol

              It’s Eurasia dwi

                People like you are as annoying as white supremacists.

                  The problem with white supremacy is that it is annoying, not that it’s lead to ethnic cleansing and internal colonization and mass incarceration.

                  Cool and normal opinion dude! 👍

                    Sorry, I was being facetious and dry. Wasn’t really sure what to do with your xenophobic/quasi racist bullshit.

                    Should Europeans/anyone be likening Russians to Asians in a negative sense? No.

                    Is it ok to make low key racist comments about Europeans and talk about them like they’re a single racist hive mind? Also no.

                  people like you very often are white supremacists. no one else benefits from trying to equivocate between someone being “annoying” and someone who wants to exterminate non-white people

                    It’s not ok to generalise an entire group of people though.
