Since we had a post about the most friendliest countries, we should look at countries that have unexpected friendly people, not the usual answers like Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Taiwan, etc. For me it’s Montenegro. Londoners are considered to be cold and rude but I find them to be very pleasant with me.
No, the only one approaching racism here is you, as you’re the only one equating culture to race. A black German is the same as a white German.
So when I say “all black people are thieves”, that is racist.
So when I say “all Germans are thieves”…if it is not racist, what is it?
Race/ethnicity is an immutable physical characteristic. Culture is a set of norms and attitudes that people choose to (or not) adhere to. Nobody would fly off the handle if you said new yorkers are stand-offish. It’s generally true - even if it doesn’t necessarily apply to the whole.
“Judge people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Being German is genetics, like being black.
Not even new-yorkes? Then they are not really that stand offish, aren’t they?
But is is okay to judge people by the color of their flag?
