When we moved to Swaziland in the 60s, it was interesting how much of our mail had arrived via Switzerland

I (a Canadian) was just in the States and they still take your credit card from your table at the restaurant!! We've had the chip and tap here for a long time, and there's machines that they bring right to the table to make payments. Americans are so far behind on payment technology. We also don't have the penny in Canada either, and every time I'm in the USA I remember how much the penny sucks.

Not to mention that even if they were actually Native Americans, that doesn't change the fact that poverty on reservations is a problem

Even more bad news for you then...

Ngl coffee terms confuse me. But then I don't drink coffee or tea so I don't need to know them.

But…what do they mean? 🤔

Cleopatra was Greek. She was a descendent of Alexander the Greats general, Ptolemy I Soter, who was Macedonian Greek.

Karl Benz invented the first automobile in 1885, Germany

I challenge you to live well in Paris or London with $50k for a year.

Funny, I lived in Frankenthal. :)

I like how it's the s**t emoji to hide the pic

Well they did conalize a bit of America

It’s the thought that counts…

Did anyone ask her what she thinks India is?

Oh dear! As an English person I wish I could say that this surprises me, but unfortunately Brexit taught me that there are plenty of stupid people in England.

Please stay home!

It's A

Oh Aiden, you sweet, dumb SJW...

The best English teacher I ever had (without her, I might not be writing in English on this forum) was called Mme Lopez-Pino...

Germany being known for its car production line: Are we a joke to you?

Give me unlimited bread sticks or give me ☠️

Do people not learn basic geography at school anymore?!

obviously missing Amsterdam

I feel sorry for this dumb person.

I suppose they had really, really bad culture shock, but it’s a bit much to say they were disturbed… or compare it to a racist gated community.

He's surprised to not see Native Americans?

"Oh no! I'm seeing lots of people that are the same skin colour!"

I wonder what they would say if they went to Africa. That it is relentlessly black? Some people don't deserve to travel.

Makes a nice change from 'too many black people', I guess...

Latino.... it is literally someone from Italy.... Who are *checks notes* White of Mediterranean appearances.

What a weird opinion. The only thing OP may be correct about is that Austria and Slovenia (and more so a few years back) have / used to have mostly white, autochthonous populations. France, Britain, and other Western European countries are much more diverse population - partly as a result of colonialism ofc

If only humans were race blind.

just wow. it hurts. my head, it just hurts.

that does bring up a good point about travel accesibility - who can & who can't.

I completely understand this person's point of view. I lived in Finland for a while, and when I first arrived the whiteness of the place did feel kind of weird. Whenever I saw someone who wasn't white, my first reaction was, There's an American, lol. Most of them weren't American, of course. Being in such a white place gave me a new appreciation for the diversity of the U.S. That was many years ago, though, and the population of Finland is a bit more diverse now.

No Indian Americans in Europe????

Go to Australia, meet and MMA level roo and see,what you prefer

I hope this isn't real.

I suppose if you're used to being in a place that is racially diverse it may come as a novelty to be in a place that isn't. But depending on where this person was at--? Some places are just like that.

I think this is entirely fair. They're talking about their personal reactions, nothing else. I remember a similar sense when I first moved to CEE from the UK. (That was almost 25 years ago; there's a lot more diversity now.)

I feel bad for him. Fish out of water feeling, it's real. First time I went from a hilly part of my country to flatland, I felt un-moored, like I was going to roll around like a marble on a frying pan. Untethered. Most unsettling.

Even if confused with Austria, it still doesn't make sense, since Austria is definitely not a northern European country.

🤦🏻‍♀️ Why would you admit this in public 😆

I didn't know Italy was in Toulouse.

My word but Sri Lanka has gained a lot of weight

England... is an island? Why have I seen a few English people say this recently? Sigh.

Well that's a good start at least

Culture of moronities.
