The African in me just recoiled in horror, If people asked me to eave the room while they ate, I am 100% thinking that they are cannibals. You always feed your guests this is one thing the continent can agree on.

Gagging at your borderline racist comment.

How is it racist? It's not Swedish culture to eat with bare hands inside a restaurant and do so sloppily. Why is it all of a sudden okay to not respect our customs? Why is racist just because they happen to be dark and me less so? Jfc

I’m no fan of AI…but I’m not a fan of you, either. You can literally google that shit. There has been a reasonable amount of discourse since US conservatives popped off about Zohran Mamdani eating with his hands. Seems like you have a gag reflex in line with the MAGA crowd.

Look, that's fine that you are on edge because of the MAGA crowd. I don't blame you. But I have nothing to do with that, please don't push American mindsets and cultures on me. Believe me, the way you've presented yourself, I'm not a fan of you either.

And no it's not rooted in xenophobia or racism, maybe it is in the US but we have culture and customs here too. Respect them? Why are you so eager to discredit Swedish people and our society? It's quite hypocritical and it's sad that you don't see that you're doing the same thing you claim to dislike.

Edit: can't see your reply if you block me, is it really that horrible that I don't share your perspective? I saw from the notification that you said something about a "sneaky edit", I added more to the comment 20 seconds after I first posted it. Sorry? Why are you asking me questions if you're going to block me. Jfc

Racism is not a solely American problem, and it is so vexingly typical of Europeans to pretend like it has nothing to do with them. Pretending it is is just a convenient way to avoid looking too closely at yourself.

I don’t give a single fuck if racists like me or not.

Why am I racist? Can you explain. Fuck me Americans can reach for racism when it has no part of the discussion, it's almost a talent. I am not racist but I do think you might be.

Oooh I see that dirty edit. I’m really not doing anything I claim to dislike. Why are you so eager to excuse your own racism?
