European Perspectives: An Insightful Look at Cultural Differences and Tensions

So I have a question.
Uh, today we got our eyeglasses. Pearlene.
Yeah? Yours are called pralines?
Uh huh. They’re funky colors.
Yeah. And when we came out,
we tried the mom, you said to our daughter,
you know, are these cool?
She said, yeah.
And you said, yeah,
I’m okay with wearing glasses like this because I’m what, European?
European German. Yeah.
You literally said that today when we got our glasses. Right.
So do you think it’s wrong to call yourself a European,
or it’s for Americans to say the word Europeans?
No. Okay.
So Europeans call themselves Europeans?
Um, yes.
But it’s dicey about who’s in the European Community.
So who would. Would not be considered in the European Community?
Of British out for sure, because they don’t want to be in it. Right.
So would it make sense to you if a British person said,
um, I don’t understand why Americans say Europeans
and generalize all the countries together.
Why would a British person say that
and have a problem with Americans saying Europeans?
Cause they’re. They’re blasted that they don’t wanna be in it.
But now they’re not in it anymore.
So Brexit
and have your own little island and.
And be happy and don’t be part of a nice community
where there’s free trade amongst the countries
and there’s. And,
you know, success going forward,
you know, open borders,
things like that. You want to be by yourself then.
God bless. Right?
I just Am telling you this because you are absolutely,
completely out of the loop.
How there is a huge influx of British tik tokers
who constantly make content saying,
how come Americans say this?
And how come Americans don’t use electric kettles?
And there’s like. It’s like a whole thing that they do on TikTok.
We move forward
like America and Europe. We move forward.
And if you still have. Oh,
if you still soak your dishes in a.
In a. In a dirty bath or.
Or have tea candles from 1989.
Oh, you.
You back there. Sure.
I have to stop this now, because if you didn’t know,
the Germans and the British don’t love each other so much.
Oh, yes, we don’t.
Correct. All right,
sure you do. Vacation
to what? Just to go and see the Buckingham Palace.
That’s about it. Yeah.
Okay. Goodbye.
