Russia is a good recent example. It's not a changing category. It's just Europe. Within Europe, those borders can change.

You are in denial permalink fedilink source parent [–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago* thousands of people who look like you, who were US citizens, were illegally deported to Mexico by US police. This would never happen to an indigenous inhabitant of an actual Western country, even if they were here illegally. Illegal immigrants from Poland don't get questioned on the street, while LEGAL US CITIZENS OF MEXICAN DESCENT get illegally deported: does that sound like people who are part of the same bloc to you? I personally know light skinned US-born Indians, who would "pass" as any Latino ethnicity, perfect US-American accent, who were killed in broad daylight in the rural areas of Missouri and the police purposely ignored it You are just not western and you never will be. You seem obsessed with being considered part of the west, but the reality is that you just aren't. Nobody here is obsessed with race, our enemies are obsessed with race (and they know better than to admit it in public). So we learn quickly permalink fedilink source parent [–] Egon@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) As a European I can tell you that Croatia is not considered part of Europe proper. Its where we go for vacations and cheap booze. It doesn't matter that they're white and Christian. They're Slavic or Balkan which means they're not "european" in the common conception. Same goes for Slovenia. The Czech kind of get an on/off perception of wether or not they're European. The Czechs are mad about this, since they are very obviously "culturally" european, however they're also an old east block country, which makes them slabs, which means they cannot possibly be real europeans. permalink fedilink source parent
