I think, Raoul, you have a good point. I once posted a Flame about the guy regarding blatant racism. He hasn't made "the first step to racism", he's racist.

Sweeping generalizations seem to be the norm, use 'em myself, to my own discredit. Statements such as the one you noted do not say anything about Europeans, say volumes about the poster. There are some people you do not want on your side.

The same people would be saying that all of the Afro-Americans are slow, because the fast ones could get away, that the Mexicans in Mexico can't run, jump or swim because the ones that can are in the US, and that somehow his ancestors were genetically superior. All of those statements are in doubt, as is the implication that Americans are smarter than the average bear. The guy thinks it was the salt of the earth, the best and the brightest, who couldn't get along in their native lands with their own families, and try to keep a straight face.

Some people may not be meant to be read.
