European car manufacturers largely suck ass, I'd rather buy a Hyundai or a damn Nissan than some French or German piece of crap.

As someone who isn’t a European, most of these comments are yanks being loudly wrong about something and the saying “see the europeans weren’t ready to hear it” when someone points out how stupid the thing they said was.
I will say the Americans not ready to hear post was pretty much everything I complain about all the time. I don't think these posts are good in any way. It's just slinging shit for no reason with no productive conversation.

Europeans are just as susceptible to racism as Americans.
As a European myself, never mention the Romani people to anyone here unless you want to hear the most degenerate, racist diatribe you can conjure up in your mind. (half hyperbole half not)

Europe is not as different from the US as it likes to pretend, especially politically.
Racism is not a unique or exceptionally American phenomenon, and the things I've heard from otherwise progressive Europeans can fucking curdle milk equal or in excess to what people in my ultra-rural ultra-conservative home region of the US can say.

The question should read
"Americans; give us your baseless opinions of a continent you don't understand, and then get a rage-on in the comments when you are laughed at"
So the same should be said of the other thread about the US. The point of this thread was allow for similar criticisms of EU when people were baselessly shitting on US topics they knew nothing about
It's Lemmy - someone will always find a way to turn any topic into shitting on the US.
Huh. Just the same as when this was asked of Europeans about the states.
