    European racism is out of control to the point of cringe. The new world cannot hold a candle to you.

    Here is a quick example. Netflix released a Norwegian movie called “Christmas as Usual” (translated). It essentially takes the concept of the American 1967 film “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”, moves it to Norway and gives it a holiday twist. According to Netflix, this 2023 film was in the Top 10 in thirty countries. How? How is a movie concept from America’s peak civil rights battles era working for you in 2023?

    My wife is European and my largest clients are European with European staff and the abundance of casual racism is hard for myself and my staff to handle. Don’t get me started on my family in-law.

    EDIT: Europeans were definitely not ready to hear this one. LOL

      Agreed. We have been sold xenophobia by our politicians and media for longer than America has existed.
