I exaggerated. There are idiots everywhere. Still, Europe is a generally tolerant place. Depending on the country, too, of course.

Still, Europe is a generally tolerant place.

And America is so intolerant that it elected a black man president.

I have to side with twba (none / 0)
who is clearly in the right here. The discussion of racism, intolerance, and extremism certainly doesn't need to be confined to germany either. Most countries in europe the election of a black man is virtually impossible, and not merely because of demographic unlikelihood. Many Europeans are too quick to look down their noses at America, for what they see as a provincial mindset. Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.

are there even natives left alive in australia? (none / 0)
i know there aren't in tazmania but australia isn't europe... even though the people that live there now are from europe. but i'm talking about places like england and france as places that are more tolerant. amsterdam is actually not very tolerant at all from what i've heard... but eh...

few facts from friends (none / 0)
i asked my ex about germany and the racism there. i got the answer that anyhting even resembling nazi-ism was a crime. also i know some people think whites and black shouldn't live together, but they are ALOT more tolerant than people here.

To each their own (none / 0)
Germans are certainly less racist toward blacks yet are quite racist toward Turks and Jews. Sort of reverse of the US.
