Are Europeans still Ethnic?
 
What I mean, do Europeans still consider other Europeans of other ethnic background. Like British with Irish and etc.

what in shitting crickey are you on about?

Toilet & Bowels 03.11.2007 02:17 PM

do you imagine that people from for example, ireland, are indistiguishable from say, greeks?

Cardinal Rob 03.11.2007 02:37 PM

We will have different cultures and traditions; France has saints' days, which we don't have, Italians I'm guessing will eat way more Italian food etc. So there are differences though we're not extremely diverse as I would be from an Indian, for example. Plus I seem to be able to tell that certain people are from certain countries - people can 'look Swedish' to me.

Ha. I'm in a class right now about race conflict.
White europeans have a "hidden ethnicity."
Just do a goodle search for "hidden ethnicity," and you'll be up to your neck in reading.
If you're really interested, read up on William Julius Wilson. His ideas on race are pretty sweet shit. "The declining significance of race" is a good read.
Good Luck,
John.

Which school do you go to?

Whether the British consider other Eurpoeans to be ethnically different depends on whether they want to be prejudiced against them or not. A good Eastern European footballer is not ethnically different, an Eastern European wishing to claim social security is.

The bunad, Norway's National Costume, will be worn by Norwegians and Norwegian-Americans this weekend to celebrate Syttende Mai (17th May). Just as America celebrates the 4th of July, Norway celebrates Constitution Day on the 17th of May.


of course i'm not claiming he's really norwegian-- im merely making fun of everyone & their responses.

sarramkrop 03.15.2007 06:57 AM

You forget the food.The Italians and the French are particularly fucking annoying when it comes to that.Oh and the British's drinking habits is what it sets them apart from the rest of Europe.

pokkeherrie 03.15.2007 06:59 AM

drinking lukewarm beer you mean?

sarramkrop 03.15.2007 07:05 AM

Where did you get that from?They have fridges here too.

pokkeherrie 03.15.2007 07:08 AM

experience?

sarramkrop 03.15.2007 07:19 AM

are you talking beer or lager?

pokkeherrie 03.15.2007 07:26 AM

mostly what you'd call beer, but i've encountered both being served at room temperature... not during my last visit though.

Also that they beat their wife, but this is coming from a stereotype vision of them.
