My Europhilia.

I am a Europhile. That's no question. However, sometimes I wonder the more Unfortunate Implications of it. I have very little interest in the non-white part of the world. Except for Japan, I really only care about Europe--and the white dominated parts of it--England, Italy, Germany, Finland, France, etc. I barely care about the Middle East, nor do I care about Africa or mucb of Asia. This may be due to the higher development and modernity of Europe, though. And I love European girls too much. Or European people in general. I have a less of an attraction to more darker-skinned people. I don't hate dark-skinned people--I am half-black and my mom is black, and I despise racism in all of its forms. But, I would probably choose a white girl over a black one, especially if she's European. Once again, this may be due to stereotypes--I hear that the media still paints white people as slightly better and the norm than minorities, and I may just have idiotic stereotypes in my mind. And I like blond-haired white women quite a bit too, yet another Unfortunate Implication. But I can't wonder if this is repressed racism or something. I don't even live in a white-dominated area--I'm the minority in my school for being white. This is probably yet more insane paranoia from me, but you can never be too sure....

  • Glaives are better.

    Europe is cooler.

    I mean, what does Africa have? Guys with straw shields and shit.The coolest shit they had were the Egyptians, and they were northeastern Caucazoids, so it doesn't really count. And Asia? The coolest thing they had were Mongols, and they went out of style ages ago. And don't get me started about the Native Americans; it took them thirty thousand years to invent CAVALRY, and that was only after Europeans showed them how.

    Europe has angry Germans with spiky hats, knights, wizards, alchemists, crusades, inquisitions, Nazis, vikings, faeries, guns, germs and steel. That's metal as fuck.

    Woki mit deim Popo.
    I take it you guys never heard of Eurovision Song Contest.  Good Lord, Eurovision.
  • You can change. You can.
    Every place has its good stuff and its bad stuff. Eurovision falls on neither of those and enters the FUCK WHY camp.
  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    Nothing wrong with Eurovision...
    ...well apart from some of the songs.

    Also Europe is great. Woo and Yay.
  • Woki mit deim Popo.
    As gay and campy as Eurovision is, I find it rather useful for understanding Europop.
  • Kichigai birthday!!
    >Dissing Eurovision

    Shit Nigga
  • You can change. You can.
    I didn't diss it. I said FUCK WHY. As in...seriously, why?
  • This derailed fast. Again.

    Starting to get sick of all my threads derailing in the second post.
  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    On topic:

    Don't be afraid of loving Europe.
    It is great.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    ^^
  • Kichigai birthday!!
    This is IJBM after all.

    Though I don't know what kind of discussion you want in this. If you like white women,I don't consider it to be racism,just personal preferences. And I understand you not wanting to live in Africa or the Middle East
  • There was a slightly similar topic on TvTropes where the consenseus was "not finding a race attractive is HORRIBLE AND RACIST".
  • You can change. You can.
    @Chagen: -sigh- OK, I'm an anglophile myself. I greatly love England. The accents, the history, the bands, the music, the culture, the pubs, etc etc.

    But I don't think it's better than anything else. Don't know what do you want us to discuss, really
  • Because,

    I'm paranoid.

    The "Not having interest in minorities=HORRIBLE AND RACIST" meme I see often.
  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    Have I mentioned I am English Recently (And of Europe but not in it.)
  • There was a slightly similar topic on TvTropes where the consenseus was "not finding a race attractive is HORRIBLE AND RACIST".


    Was this really the case, Chuggles?

  • Kichigai birthday!!
    >Countries I want to live in: Andorra,Iceland,Canada, USA(Alaska)

    As you can see, I don't like the heat very much
  • You can change. You can.
    ...LOL, Stormtroper.

  • I have heard almost none of those stereotypes.

    When the fuck did France have smelly people? And I've never seen a "Germany has dirty porn" stereotype either.

    The only one I've ever really seen is "Commies" and "Godfathers".
  • You can change. You can.
    ^ Please, tell me you're kidding.
  • Surely you've at least heard the Dracula one?

    French = onions garlic and smelly cheese.
    German = coprophila.
  • Glaives are better.

    If not finding the traits of certain ethnic groups sexually attractive is racist, then I must be sexist for not liking cocks.

    I'm not opposed to the idea of dating a black or Asian woman, it's just that the physical characteristics I find attractive seem to be rarer in black and Asian women. 

    There have been black and Asian women whom I'd bang like a goddamn drum, though.

  • Never heard 'em.

    I don't pay attention to pop culture at all. I mean "AT ALL". I have no conception of it.
  • When the fuck did France have smelly people?


    Water is scarce in Europe, and the French's bathing habits are more lax than those in the Americas.

  • You can change. You can.
    French: What Noimporta said
    German: They have a tendency of producing hardcore-er porn than most countries.
    Spain: They created Mexico. :P
    Portugal: they created Brazil :P
    Turkey: Don't have to explain that one, do I?

    Really....never heard any of them.

    These were my stereotypes:

    Britian: Teas-drinking stuck up assholes.

    France: Pretentious artists and critics.

    Germany: Ridiculously badass motherfuckers. Also, never show emotion and act so efficiently they're more like machines than humans.

    Russia:Commies, drunk people, hot women, baddasses. Half of it is a frozen wasteland.

    Spain: Those people who owned my state before it became free.

    Ireland: Drunk people.

    Italy: Pasta, art, badass cars.

    Scandanvia: Frozen Wasteland. Not much else.

    Nordic countries: Awesome myths (my dad loved the norse myths and used to read them to me when I was a kid).

    Those were a few of the stereotypes I gained as I grew up.
  • You can change. You can.
    Not even Switzerland's?
  • Nope.

    In addition to not knowing shit about pop culture, I was really ignorant of the outside world.
