    People who don’t live in Europe don’t even realise how divided white Europeans are. The Irish and Eastern Europeans are even victims of colonisation.

    And forget North America and Europe, just look at Africa and tell me they did not have inter-ethnic conflicts.

    The post is very silly and North Americancentric.

      Literally Brexit was mostly about Brits not liking other Europeans being free to move to Britain, especially Poles.

      I lived in London and unless they actually start talking and you hear their accent (or, even “worse” for the average Brit, their language) you can’t actually tell a Pole from a Brit.

      So. yeah, a fucking mid-sized country in the modern era has left a massive European trade union which gave them massive benefits (it has been estimated that Britain’s GDP is growing 2% less every year because of leaving) because of their xenophobia against other Europeans, especially Eastern and Southern Europeans.
