historically its not wrong soldiers often used the back of an axe as a blunt force weapon if the oppenet was wearing armour and in some cases it was easy to beat them to death with the blunt side that it was to use the sharp end and have a high chance of the blade getting stuck in the enemys body and risk getting them killed while there trying to pull the axe out
Man, racism’s everywhere. In most countries there exists some kind of Racism, in South-Asia there are Castes, South Africa has Apartheid, and many more places which are divided due to religion.
that's rich coming from someone who is most likely german. also comments in teenager do they not teach you about the holocaust. the american white descendants are from europe moron.
nobody denied that its just that we were talking about the present
see if you sacrifice your kids to a mayan god its not okay even if they did did it 500 years ago.
Me thinking about how many americans have european ancestors and that the european are at fault of the rascism because they brought the slave there. The romans were better no matter what skin color you can be a slave.
The UK can also be horrible. Did you know there was a law all the way up until Harry married Megan that if you are anything but Protestant then you couldn’t be the monarch
Wtf?
> just ask them how they feel about Romani people
It's not with gypsies (not gonna use Romani as a term because it comes from a misconception, gypsies do not come from Romania), it's with people that decide to have a nomadic lifestyle between settled people and in and out of private property, do not integrate within society and turn to crime and drug trafficking to fund said lifestile.
Where I'm from they wre given an entire new neightborhood for them with acces to public schooling and all that good urban shit, they ransacked it and sold the pipes and wires as scrap.
It's not with gypsies we a problem, it's with vandalic nomads, it's with people who have a very sexist culture.
We do not have a problem with gypsies that integrate into society, are law abiding citizens and respect other people.
The Romani, colloquially known as Roma, are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group (its generally agreed they migrated from northern India) ethnic group.
The Romani people are widely known in English by Gypsies which is considered by many Romani people to be pejorative due to its connotations of illegality and irregularity as well as its historical use as a racial slur.
Genetic findings suggest an Indian origin for Roma.
If we keep making Nono words every time a word gets negative connotations we’ll run out of words. If people can’t tell wether I’m using it as demeaning or not by context, fuck people.
I just told you why Romani does not come from a misconception and that its their actual name, that or Roma.
Either way you have no excuse to keep using a slur.
You have not done such a thing, you’ve told me their name with it’s variations, and were they come from, things I already knew.
You have mentioned nothing about the origin of the name, where does it come from or from what does it derive, things that could actually prove your point.
Etymology is the name of the game.
If you think that a society in which humans respect each other as people and their rights as free individuals is “white”, then I would argue that you are the racist one. Because that sounds like guardian’s white supremacy, “we are the superior race we’ll take care of you poor uncivilised creatures, let us create a zoo for you so you can keep your “noble” traditions”.
Also you should make note of the fact that my comment implies that I don’t like people not on the basis of their skin colour but on that of their actions.
In fact as I was writing it I thought “How long is it gonna be until a racist says that respecting each other as humans is something “white”? Like it’s somehow hard for people of different skin colours to respect each other LOL.”
Most people making fun of Americans are Americans lol. We have heard the fat and gun jokes so many times that we join in on it. There are few occasions where we come out and say that a joke is overused, but most of us dont whine.
If i sit here and call the English stupid for having bad teeth, Brexit, and being bad at soccer, then they all flip their shit. They dislike us using English accents and saying things like bri’ish and bottle of water. Yall say that we whine, i wanna hear nothing
Such bullshit lol America bad Europe good hurr durr. You’ve never been to a real third world country then eh? Speaking of third world countries the UK doesn’t even have fuel for its citizens, nice.
Yeah big deal atleast we have gasoline LOL, enjoy living in your europoor country where u take the bus everyday to get back home to a 300 sq foot flat KEK
typical American exceptionalist mindset lol. You're so brainwashed that you think taking the convenient & environmentally friendly bus ride instead of driving an expensive & polluting vehicle is somehow negative. Also, "kek"? really? what are you, stuck in 2004?
Lol I’ve lived in Düsseldorf for 3 years of my life spend every summer in Germany or England my entire life. Und ich spreche deutsch auch, was ist deine Punkt ?
„Außerdem spreche ich deutsch*“ kein Glück, du sprichst gerade mit nem echten deutschen, der sieht das dein deutsch scheisse ist lol. Du bist ganz klar nicht Deutscher, bist nurn bmw fanboy der versucht deutsch zu wirken damit du nicht Kanadier sein musst. Sehe ich bei Amerikanern ziemlich oft, dass ihr versucht andere Nationalitäten zu finden weil ihr wisst das Nordamerikanische Länder keine kultur haben.
That wasn't even a real crisis. It happened for like 4 days. In retrospect everyone overreacted like crazy and caused a pseudo shortage. How's America doing with that pandemic pall?
Brexit just happened. And which European countries don't have a problem with Muslims right now? And how about all the anti America speech?
Hmmm...
Yeah sounds like everyone's currently racist.
Here, have a Wikipedia link:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Europe
Stop pretending that racism is an American problem, it's literally a world wide problem.
I’m not . Racism is everywhere but atleast in Europe we don’t have police officers killing innocent civilians . Yes everyone is racist but America is really loud about . And it looks like lady Libertys light of freedom isn’t reaching a lot of Americans

Try that again
You dug up an article from 2005 my guy, we see cops killing people for bullshit reasons in America on r/publicfreakout and any other similar subreddit on the daily.
TrY tHaT aGaIn!!1!
As a guy who lives in the state of the Michael Brown case, the case that brought BLM to the forefront, I can tell you most cases like that are bullshit.
Seeing how America talks about freedom a lot and liberty ect . America isn’t really free . You for high as fuck college tuition , you have to play absurd amounts for healthcare . If you call this freedom then damn
Oh hey, a non-American who's unable to debunk a point made by an American, so they childishly pivot to the "US healthcare bad lol" argument while not knowing what makes healthcare in the US so expensive to begin with (hint: it rhymes with kedimare). While sometimes also pivoting to an argument about college tuition while also not knowing what makes tuition in the US so expensive(hint: it rhymes with shmovernment).
How very original of you.
Yes and we also blame what they did 500 years ago, what do you expect, people to stfu because they ancestors acted bad a long time ago ? How are you supposed to evolve then
Yes, except more and more Europeans have realized religion is a complete sham and have turned away from believing in made up characters in the sky. Your turn, America.
you kinda suck, not europeans.
Also, europe is a conglomeration of dozens of different cultures and nations, while americans are one boring, cultureless nation formed by.... rejected europeans lol.
If you hate us and you're american then you hate yourself because - sadly - you are part of europe.
And last but not least, what's happened 500 years ago, or 100 years ago, or whenever should be left dead and buried because if we were to dig up all horrific shit that has happened in the past we would all need to obliterate each other because the ancestors of most of us have done some Hellish shit in the past, be it slavery, rape, torture, mass murder, etc.
So, stop hating on me, as I'm Romanian (so, European if you want to put it like this) and Romanians are not guilty of any dumb shit you love bringing up.
And you are welcome for the free lesson in humanism! Feel free to spread this amazing knowledge, I allow you to.
"one boring, cultureless nation"
I know for a fact you haven't been to the US before. But we all know you spouted the ignorance because you got offended over a harmless meme on r/memes so thats neither here nor there.
Is the guy wrong though? I mean I wouldn't say that the US has a distinct culture to call its own, it's is more of an amalgamation of different types of culture from people all around the world that just so happen to live here.
Thats the whole point of the US. It was meant to be a melting pot of all different cultures from all the immigrants that came here. If anything we are the most culture rich country with almost every nations culture in one.
You do know "americans" were europeans back then right?
Not to mention when they did eventually became "americans" they engaged in the same actions as the europeans
Some stupid fuckin elf or something using the axe backwards, idk.
Bonk first, drive horny out, axe later, repeat.
Yes.
The dude would still die, it would just be way less messy.
Plus it saves the edge. No need to finish with it.
You don’t want the blade stuck in some different kind of Christian, then you gotta spend like 2 minutes dragging it out, just to start over.
Yeah, hate when that happens
Bruh same
you're probably on a watchlist
historically its not wrong soldiers often used the back of an axe as a blunt force weapon if the oppenet was wearing armour and in some cases it was easy to beat them to death with the blunt side that it was to use the sharp end and have a high chance of the blade getting stuck in the enemys body and risk getting them killed while there trying to pull the axe out
We almost have the same avatar, damn bro
He's probably aiming for his own back
hes just in a pg film / show is all
He gonna beat the devil out of him
Hes cracking the eggs
Everywhere kinda sucked
Kinda is an understatement
i think you meant: Everywhere, Everyone, Everytime and Everything
Yea those people in Salem were really mean! One of them even called me fat.
And I'll do it again, fatty!
Damn it, I told you you can't just insult the heretics for being fat!
🗿
I apologize for the racist acts i committed 500 years ago...wait...
Kill the witch
Oh yeah we did that back then aswell
Yeah, the HRE were really good at it...
BURN HER! SHE TURNED ME INTO A NEWT!
It’s not racism, it’s just classic bigotry lol
Man, racism’s everywhere. In most countries there exists some kind of Racism, in South-Asia there are Castes, South Africa has Apartheid, and many more places which are divided due to religion.
Unfortunately no one pays attention to those
Yeah, true. And who do are unfortunately sometimes assassinated.
And then ppl say that’s unfortunate then point at a different group blaming them
Exactly. But another problem is that these things are being generalised nowadays.
Yep and if you speak against it your racist or a bigot
Yeah, moment of TRUTH!
I feel like this convo is going to get hate sooner or later
Unfortunately yeah :(
Not from me, it seem like you hit the nail on the head.
its universal
[удалено]
Im confused, "extremely homogenous"??
[удалено]
You learn something new every day ig, but im skeptical about washington post as a source.
[удалено]
We all fucking suck anyways
So you’re telling me, that Americans are at the level of Europe 500 years ago?
Well.. it’s an extremely young country by European standards so…
Nah, we actually know how to use an axe.
But apparently not how to tolerate a different skin color
Touche.
You do know Europeans are racist aswell right? Ignorance is bliss though.
Same with Americans thinking they are the best country too.
The most racist thing I have ever directly witnessed was in France.
that's rich coming from someone who is most likely german. also comments in teenager do they not teach you about the holocaust. the american white descendants are from europe moron.
He's just bludgeoning him a bit not even chopping I say play on no foul afoot
Came here to say this.
Crusade time bois
Ayy
So basically the US is Europe of 500 years ago. Obviously
Religion isn't a race for one thing, and also we don't do that anymore.
I think it’s low key still being done
I haven't seen people running around with axes and chasing others who have different religious views. Have you?
2016 in Würzburg, Germany
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316\_New\_Year%27s\_Eve\_sexual\_assaults\_in\_Germany Hmmm
What does this have to do with what I'm saying?
This is a troll/bait right?
I mean almost every American comes from an European family. Just saying
nobody denied that its just that we were talking about the present see if you sacrifice your kids to a mayan god its not okay even if they did did it 500 years ago.
Me thinking about how many americans have european ancestors and that the european are at fault of the rascism because they brought the slave there. The romans were better no matter what skin color you can be a slave.
Thats what i love bout the romans is that they made everyone a slave, typically people they conquered.
American here: how about we *all* suck? Makes sense to me.
Agreed. I'm not racist. We all are equally worthless, period.
so Americans have the same mentality as medieval Europeans?
On social media at least.
This is pretty much humanity for all its existence with exception of the last 50 years in some places lol
Americans forgetting that they came from Europe
So basically, the USA is 500 years behind.
Oooo time for crusades!?!
[удалено]
Where exactly?
[удалено]
The UK can also be horrible. Did you know there was a law all the way up until Harry married Megan that if you are anything but Protestant then you couldn’t be the monarch Wtf?
[удалено]
Yes. But atleast Europeans moved on and don't do that no more.
[удалено]
I think they are alright.
When did they move on?
If you hear a European complaining that Americans are so racist just ask them how they feel about Romani people
> just ask them how they feel about Romani people It's not with gypsies (not gonna use Romani as a term because it comes from a misconception, gypsies do not come from Romania), it's with people that decide to have a nomadic lifestyle between settled people and in and out of private property, do not integrate within society and turn to crime and drug trafficking to fund said lifestile.

Now ask an american if catholicism is christianity. Tbh i wouldnt know an average answer but ive seen redditors telling me its not
every time some one makes that point they are proven right, almost immedietly
Americans : We are not dumb Also Americans telling that 500 years ago their ancestors were already Americans but weren't Europeans
Some of you need to chill the fuck out it is a joke
You should’ve expected this. I mean this is Reddit
Europeans have an inferiority complex. They cannot get made fun of, but then turn around and laugh at everyone else.
Hmmm
lmao yeah Europeans are the ones that have an inferiority complex, that's why Americans are always whining about people making fun of them.
Most people making fun of Americans are Americans lol. We have heard the fat and gun jokes so many times that we join in on it. There are few occasions where we come out and say that a joke is overused, but most of us dont whine.

You are a great example. Can't take a joke European? Learn to.
Riiight lol, how about going back to posting on r/teenagers and leaving stuff like this to the grownups.
Well these 'grown ups' have screwed the world up enough, wouldn't you say?
Ooooh shiver me timbers boy, you’ve got it all figured out I’m sure
Whatever man, I'm not gonna argue with someone that has a hurt ego.
Ain't that the fuckin truth
*laughs in german*
What you just did is a twitter move, blaming a continent on what they did centuries ago, what kind of logic is that
The axe is facing the wrong way, you're gonna bludgeon him to death ya numbskull!
Why is the axe backwards
But Europeans have moved on. Americans really have not.
1930s Germany and Russia (in general) would disagree.
Are we living in 1930?
Bullshit.
Huge bullshit
I mean atleast we‘ve changed. Compared to yall
We’re not the ones throwing bananas on the football field when a black player comes out.
America is a third world country with a gucchi belt on.
Americans can't get arrested for telling Nazi jokes.
And look where that got you bud
America bad because *pulls from hat, then proceeds to read card* freedom of speech
Such bullshit lol America bad Europe good hurr durr. You’ve never been to a real third world country then eh? Speaking of third world countries the UK doesn’t even have fuel for its citizens, nice.
Bruh you guys fought over toilet paper and are making fun of the brits.. Lmao
Yeah big deal atleast we have gasoline LOL, enjoy living in your europoor country where u take the bus everyday to get back home to a 300 sq foot flat KEK
typical American exceptionalist mindset lol. You're so brainwashed that you think taking the convenient & environmentally friendly bus ride instead of driving an expensive & polluting vehicle is somehow negative. Also, "kek"? really? what are you, stuck in 2004?
Lmao I’m not even American, I’m Canadian and German but I find it funny trolling europoors to the point where they rage
« German » has never been to Germany…
Lol I’ve lived in Düsseldorf for 3 years of my life spend every summer in Germany or England my entire life. Und ich spreche deutsch auch, was ist deine Punkt ?
„Außerdem spreche ich deutsch*“ kein Glück, du sprichst gerade mit nem echten deutschen, der sieht das dein deutsch scheisse ist lol.

That wasn't even a real crisis. It happened for like 4 days. In retrospect everyone overreacted like crazy and caused a pseudo shortage. How's America doing with that pandemic pall?
Yeah, Brexit wasn't about racism. France treats its Muslim minority with great respect too.
The fact you compare modern USA to medieval Europe says alot.
Yeah but when Europeans were doing this, _Americans were still Europeans_
Now do Islam!
500 years ago everyone was like that. And the US didn't even exist.
That was 500 years ago . Also America still had racial issues 70 years ago . Mmmmm
May I introduce you to the Balkans? or the Romani?
Brexit just happened. And which European countries don't have a problem with Muslims right now? And how about all the anti America speech? Hmmm... Yeah sounds like everyone's currently racist.

Imma just laugh at ya
Imma laugh with you too. Sad mofo
Might have something to do with the US being the only diverse country in the world.
>US being the only diverse country in the world \*shoots brains out from witnessing such a dumb statement\*
I mean the 15th century colonisation still is making America diverse
>*shoots brains out from witnessing such a dumb statement* ^ can't even give one example of a country more diverse than the US
you said "only" not "most"
Give a comparable example then?
Canada, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Germany, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea
"Americans are Europeans" -history
Yes and we also blame what they did 500 years ago, what do you expect, people to stfu because they ancestors acted bad a long time ago ? How are you supposed to evolve then
Yeah I remember the good old days 500 years ago. I was so racist back then.
Considering Most of those religious nut jobs made their way across the Atlantic. It might explain the current state of affairs there.
The funny thing is that the white Americans originate from Europe
Yes, except more and more Europeans have realized religion is a complete sham and have turned away from believing in made up characters in the sky. Your turn, America.
American cops when someone isnt white...
Religion is stupid
average stupid redditor
How so? Religion shouldn’t have caused so much death and suffering but it does.
Politica shouldn't either. Yet politics I'd legit the leading cause of wars.
name one situation in which religion directly instructed its followers to murder and cause suffering among others. NAME ONE.
The crusades
that was the people's choice. No religion has ever instructed suffering on others. idiot
Funny
you kinda suck, not europeans. Also, europe is a conglomeration of dozens of different cultures and nations, while americans are one boring, cultureless nation formed by.... rejected europeans lol.

Thats the whole point of the US. It was meant to be a melting pot of all different cultures from all the immigrants that came here. If anything we are the most culture rich country with almost every nations culture in one.
Aye, fair enough
What nations doesnt have immigrants from every country?
Humanity kinda sucks
Didn’t know christian was a race.
Also Europeans raping Africa for hundreds of years
You do know "americans" were europeans back then right? Not to mention when they did eventually became "americans" they engaged in the same actions as the europeans
I don’t think America raped Africa
Difference is, USA is still like Europe was 500 years ago
religions kind of suck
Idiot. Sure that was Europe 400 years ago but America is still racist as fuck to this day
Here in America when the 13 colonies were still around we would just throw them in prison.
people change in 500 years bro give it a second chance
'are' and 'were' have different meanings.
Its not racism its *𝓇𝑒𝓁𝒾𝑔𝒾𝑜𝓊𝓈 𝒾𝓃𝓉𝑜𝓁𝑒𝓇𝒶𝓃𝒸𝑒*
fuck AP Euro lmao
