how dumb do you have to be to say "europeans"

I'm a cheerful dubu mom who adores travel, all things pretty, cute stuff, and laughter-filled moments🐻‍❄️💗

imagine saying "asians" and including chinese, koreans, japanese, taiwanese, mongolians, tibetans, cambodians, indonesians, laotians, malaysians, burmese, filipinos, singaporeans, thai, vietnamese, afghani, bengali, indian, pakistani, nepalese, kazaki, turkmen (and several others) in the same sentence

True, it’s pretty ironic when you think about it! The world is really complicated 😂

half the countries in those list fought wars against each other 😂

that’s exactly what came to mind for me too.  Asians!!!!
When I travel, I often hear comments like "Asians have no manners," and it really bothers me. It's not just about one specific country; they lump all Asians together under one label, and every time that happens, it feels really offensive

Well that's also a broad generalization as many service industry workers like tipping because it actually gives them a higher wage then a set salary. Its the reason why when they try to abolish it most places go back to it at the request of the workers. Varies based on where and industry ofc. 

Not disagreeing with how using a continental category sucks out all of the nuance of a people, place, and culture. But it can be used effectively, just needs to be recognized as a blunt instrument, not a scalpel. As for ignorant statement, well that's more on the person than the word. imo

Hard to reference hundreds of millions of people with any kind of nuance.

It doesn't, and I always catch myself in the act

But there is a difference between saying "americans are 6 hours away from europeans" and "americans are dumb because they don't pay service workers enough so they need to ask for tips"

If that's true than Americans doesn't work either. ✌️ 😁

and too often people use the word 'asian' to refer to fair skinned asians
