Again you show your ignorance and xenophobia.
Haha, dude, calm yourself. I'm certainly not ignorant of these countries or their cultures. I know a good deal.
I don't have Eastern Europeans. I'm used to them being portrayed (fairly or unfairly) a certain way. What I do actually know about them, I simply don't like. It doesn't make me ignorant or a xenophobe. Some people don't like specific cultures in Italy (Sicilians, for example). Big deal. I'm not necessarily calling those people xenophobes. Some people just don't like certain things.
It just sounds scary to me. I don't know how else to explain that.
I'm sure they are. I'm just afraid of they stereotype that I'm used to (especially among Eastern Europeans in my area). You know, like the stereotypes that I'm sure you have no problem feeding into with certain Americans. I'm sure it's ok for you to dislike the "Deep South hicks."
Dude, give me a break. I'm tired of clearing up your misleading statements. No, I don't feel insulted whenever someone mentions the Italian government. If anything, I've agreed that it has been a mess (I recently made a topic about the instability there). What I defend Italians from is this idea that they're a silly background culture that can't govern themselves at all.
