National or European

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Traditionally they have claimed that the people of each separate nation are superior to the rest, but what do you think this embrace of a wider Europe is? It is simply expanding their concept of a 'pure race' to fit all Europeans. Europeans don't share a common language or culture, so what else is there that links them aside from geography? Say what you will, but that's what it looks like to me.

This is wrong, essentially because of this:

Pretty much every nation claim superiority. What confuse you is that European countries have the ability to claim ethnological superiority, whereas USA can only link their viewed superiority to politics.

This however have absolutely NOTHING to do with a white / non white thing. As a Swedish guy, I see myself having more in common with a guy from Spain (who I perceive as brownish), than an Ukranian, eventhough the Ukranian is way more white.

As to Language, western Europe do share one. Latin, it has set its trace in all the western European languages so they are closely modeled. Learning, say, Spanish is a breeze compared to Russian, as Russian has a whole other language base.

Western Europe also very much have a shared culture, although sometimes on opposing sides in the shared history.

Sorry, but quite often your posts comes off as you sprouting nonsense You made up on a whim, with little or no facts or experience of what you discuss. These last posts were no exception.

Kadagar also brings up the important issue of Latinate culture, which is different to what you Americans call "Latin" culture. This is why Western and Northern Europeans identify more with each other than with Slavic Nations, which have far less Letinate culture - mostly because they have an Orthodox rather than a Catholic heritage.

The concept of "race" also means something different to Europeans because we actually come from the places we live in, mostly, so when I talk of "Anglo-Saxons" I don't just mean a genetic component, I mean a shared history and culture which current Anglo-Saxons have ownership of.
