  • Northern European's latent racism

    I have the conviction that northern europeans are inherently racist.

    They can't help it, it is in their mentality.
    Whereas they will pretend they are not and they will try to show that they are not they will always believe it deep down and will always show it by little things despite if they want to show it or not.

    A greek will talk frankly to the other person and if they both sit on the same table and eat and drink and laugh without prejudisms and without superiority complexes.

    a nothern european on the other hand will be much more reserved towards the other person and will even subconsciously always take pride in what he believes is his "superior" race.

    He will be polite towards the other if they sit on the same table but his racists feelings will always persist even if he believes they are not.
    I think the northern europeans take pride on feeling "superior"

    This of course does not go for all of them but for the majority.
    The only exception to this rule are scandinavians



    discuss.

        GePap,
        in part from my own experiences and in part on what I've seen abroad and also read here on Apolyton.

        Who I mean: english are inflicted with the most latent racist feelings. Next come austrians and dutch and german. French are considered "southern" but they are chauvinists which is not exactly as bad as racist.
        Not Irish though.

            just a thought.

            er......maybe theres a sense of superiority, subconsouisly, because they keep in mind that Northern Europeans once ruled the world and rose to be the most enlightened and organized people on earth.

              you know faded, reading that and then looking at your avatar it gets a whole new meaning

              But I agree that they think they are organized, more civilized and better than the rest of the world (don't know about empires though - they were others far more potent and important than say the austrohungarian) and that's at the root of the problem.

              edit: but a lot of other people think that too and they are not iflicted with latent racism.

              Also it's about skin color too I think.

                  *sigh* Why do I even bother?

                  First, you're making very broad generalizations, always a bad idea. Second, you probably don't realize your people are racist, because *shock* they're your people! Haven't I heard quite a bit about Greece hating Turkey? Third, you're just trolling and I shouldn't even have responded.

                    MactBone I never said "my people".
                    Turkey and Greece have reasons to "hate" eachother as you said. What is the reason for laten racism? (assuming you think it has to have one)
                    And finally, I'm not trolling.


                    edit: BTW I remember a post you made. It was out of the blue about the originis of various linguistic groups. I remember you writing "Hellenic" - led to Greek (they are silly, aren't they? )
                    Somehow I think you have some pretty good prejudisms yourself, no matter how "cutely" (TM) you elaborate on them. So I can see a reason why you "bothered". Self - fulfilled prophecy you pumped into your veins I imagine.

                    faded glory, in his simplicity and honesty, is a far better person than you my little patroniser wanna-be.

                      No other posts?

                      then I guess it's a taboo subject.

                            ...never mind...I deleted what I originally said. We should really be allowed to delete our own posts. The two other forums I frequent allow you to do this...

                              About Austrians: I read in the newspaper that the Austrians were the proudest ppl in the world according to a poll. What are they proud over? Adolf Hitler?
