Here's something else that I have noticed.....A lot of the Europeans that I deal with seem to think that the average American is dumber than they are. Then they have the nerve to suggest that Americans are more rude as well.
Of course, they are right about that...for the most part. The vast majority of the American public is dumb and rude...BUT....Telling an American this to their face is kinda hypocritical at the same time.

You know, just as we, in Europe, think Americans judge us. We do exactly the same. We blame them for getting all there knowledge about the world from CNN and often we do the same. We can often look at these southern states, where this hics live and think, that how all Americans are. there not. We are both often guilty for really generalising each other.
But getting back to the main point. A European from some countries, calling a black person a negro is exactly the same as an american calling him a black dude. Its not always a racist term, though sometimes it can be, Just like someone from the states calling a guy black.
Ive seen black people in the states calling each other nigga, but from what I can see (I may be wrong) its not ok for a whaite person in the states to call a black person a nigga. Its ok for blacks but not for whites? Ive never understood that
