Ouch!
Some people in the U.S. think that our European brethren are more refined, more elegant than we are. This isn’t actually the case; while they may speak with a fancier accent and brag about their free healthcare, the reality is that most Europeans are just as stupid and id-driven as the rest of us.
If you need proof, look no further than their traditions. Not only do they have far, far too many traditions that involve doing blackface, but they also have stuff like this: northern Italy’s “Carnival of Ivrea,” where people throw oranges at each other for some reason.
Looks painful!
