Why do so many Europeans look down on the rest of this planet?
I’m sure everyone has heard of the famous “European snobbery” that is typical of a lot of Europeans. What drives this attitude? My sister worked for a French chef who said that the Peruvians working in the kitchen were “not too bright, but they work cheap so we keep them.” I’ve worked with Europeans for years now and it IS interesting how they see the rest of this planet. An Irish girl I worked with had quite a high pedestal. Why? What makes these people think they are so great?
Please keep in mind I’m asking just about some Europeans and I’d like answers that pertain to that.
To Dreamer: Please stop dreaming and look at Europe for what it is and was, a hotbed of intolerance for anything that wasn’t European. Ask a native how they feel about Europeans “discovering” them.
well…. they think they are more “civilized” than the rest of the world but they are actually blind from their own Eurocentric view of the world. They are often being hypocritical because they criticize other nations being uncivilized while they actually doing the same thing themselves, so they don’t really do what they preach.
