      no, they really don’t
      they will consider us human as compared to more marginalised people
      but ultimately, we aren’t american
      and therefore lesser

      • you must have never met the liberals who act like Europe is devoid of “dumb racist hicks” who don’t “vote against their own best interests”. Some Americans consider Europeans more human than the Rust Belt, or the Deep South, or Texas.

            I think they were making a more nuanced point that American liberals tend to (incorrectly) romanticize Europeans for supposedly being less conservative (in a purely bourgeois political spectrum). I know you’re just rightly calling out American chauvinism, but I don’t think the person you’re talking to is trying to defend that. American chauvinism takes on many different forms, some of which involve romanticizing European libs.
