  Knowing that Europe literally has a problem with its soccer audiences making monkey noises at black athletes makes this particular bit of condescension all the more ridiculous.

    Idiots and assholes exist everywhere. At least ours don’t have guns.

      Yeah, they use knives instead.

        The knife homicide rate is literally higher in the US.

        This isn’t the flex you think it is.

    The Asiaphobia that still goes on in the UK is absurd…

    I’ll still never get over the British Dub of Takeshi’s Castle referring to contestants as “Happy Clappy Jappy Chappies” and “Kamikaze Cousins”

    A shame, I really wanted to watch that version, it has Craig Charles doing the narrating, but… sorry Lister, seems you can’t help but be a smeghead around the Japanese.

    Is this better, worse, or the same as throwing dildos at female WNBA athletes?

    Reddit moment: comparing a few racist idiots with daily murders.

      “Daily murder” is a sneaky rhetorical trick, considering it’s something influenced more by raw population size, than by capita. It’s easy for there to be a “daily murder” in a country of 340,000,000 people, even when the overwhelmingly vast majority of people do not murder.

        Even when we go per capita the US stays a shithole, it’s not like they were trying to actively misinform people.

    Agreed on the condescension, that was uncalled for. Your whataboutism sucks though.

  Oh, I’m with you on that. I’m just pointing out the thought behind the policy, however flawed. I’ve been to Europe many years ago. I would love to be there now, except that as an American I would be rightly ostracized.

  What do you mean, “try Europe?”
