    You implied there were zero common traits when you asked me to list them. Don’t try to weasel your way out of it because you were wrong. Here’s another common trait between them: they’re both part of a geopolitical block of countries that has been trading culture for more than a thousand years. So yes, there’s bound to be some similarities and suggesting otherwise is asinine. One more thing: comparing “Europeans” and “Asians” as groups to “black people” is very racist.

      I didn’t imply anything. You inferred all that without asking for clarification. Yes, most neighbouring countries will have common traits. Never claimed otherwise. I just disagree with the monolithic usage of “Europeans” and I just wanted to see what someone that referred to all Europeans as one group thought we had as a common trait. And after 4 comments of pretending to know shit, I got my answer. Thanks. Back to what I said before : deflect, pretend you’re right, never admit you’re wrong.

        This is the second comment where you said you didn’t claim something you claimed one comment ago.

        deflect, pretend you’re right, never admit you’re wrong.

        Oh, the irony.

          Do you even know the meaning of the word claim? I just told you that me asking you to tell me what the common traits are is not me claiming anything. And j even admitted that yes, neighbouring countries usually share common traits. Sometimes even countries that are not neighbouring, such as USA and Japan, I’ve also said that before.

          But sure. Or maybe I’m missing something, so yes, please, do show me where exactly I claimed that there are no common traits. And what’s the other thing? Can you also point to that second thing I’ve apparently xlaimed, please.

            So you were just curious about common traits between Greece and Finland and weren’t trying to make any kind of point? Silly me. You’ve done so much backpedalling I can’t even see you anymore.

              Nope, I just wanted to see if you had a point or not. Unlike you, I’m willing to change my mind when provided with good and not made up arguments.
