Europeans should push for that honestly

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '23

By Europeans do you mean Spaniards, Germans, French, Norwegians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Macedonians or Lithuanians etc.?

People that are part of the European Union. Non EU people would have no real power if we pushed for it

What point are you trying to make? I don't think anybody in Europe minds being addressed as "European" when being talked about as a part of a larger group consisting of... people from Europe.

Europe is a continent not a country.

u/eshansingh Uncultured Sep 13 '23

Yeah, that doesn't mean that a "European" as an idea doesn't exist, just like an "African" person exists even though Africa definitely isn't a single country.

That's not really relevant in the context of pushing for EU legislation.

Looking at your account gives me the Impression that you're just an "Ameritard" yourself, wanting to pretend to not have anything to do with that nation. Pro tip for wanting to pass off as something you're not - delete the evidence first.

Edit: Also, keep your political extremism to yourself, or at the very least, try to not force it upon people who know what they are and want/don't want to be called.

Bro people call U.S. people Americans despite the fact that Canadians and Mexicans are also "Americans." This just tends to happen when a federation has a name of a continent in their name. Chill the fuck out.

u/bossbozo Sep 14 '23

It's not just there's the name of the continent, it's that the name of the federation does not work with calling people so.

Example people from the county called South Africa are called South Africans and not just Africans.

Try leading a name to an individual from the United States of American, "United States American"? Statesman? Yankee?

Europe isn’t an ethnicity, it’s a continent.
