Why is it that when an American expresses outrage or even the slightest criticism at Europe it’s met with such dismissive arrogance, and not one point is ever addressed (this happens in the US as much as Europe, btw, as the US universities and media are full of europhile leftists)? But when it’s reversed and Europeans call Americans “baby raping corpse eaters” (btw, I did not make that up; it’s what the BBC reported after Katrina), we’re supposed to indulge it as brilliant social commentary?
I see this coming even from the so-called “pro-Americans.” Perhaps anti-Americanism is far more endemic than we realise. I see this as more destructive to europeans than Americans since Europe smugly condemns Americans while living in the same cultural disaster which bred the Holocaust. Americans, on the other hand (you know, those people who are so much more racist and intolerant than precious all-loving europeans) just elected a bi-racial man (god forbid I call him black, you europeans will flip out!) into the highest office on the planet. I suppose the one good thing about a world which constantly focuses on America and has very little if any self-reflection–America evolves and progresses, everyone stagnates. Perhaps that’s why I chose the US as my permanent residence.
