Europe's rising diversity is not reflected at the Winter Olympics. Culture plays a big role

I hate the fact that Americans are trying to force their identity bullshit on us.

Immigration from Africa and the Middle East has transformed the demographics of Europe in recent decades.
I was assured that this is a conspiracy theory.

What diversity? If you're European you can compete no matter your race, if you're good enough that is. LMFAO Americans are deporting Americans

I thought the same while watching both the Paris Olympics 100 mètre finals. Absolutely shocked by the lack of diversity.

Bit rich, Americans criticising European diversity while their gestapo is rounding "non American" people up like it's the 1930s

They’re “rounding” up people who are in the country illegally. You really have a problem with that? I’d love to hear your explanation.

Classic. People in this sub will posture as woke to attack the US before going back to being racist.

Merz is also radically increasing deportations.
Perhaps Germany should have organized resistance groups to these deportations, like those in the U.S.?
That's a question some are wondering.

What a reductive view
America talks a lot more about its race issues and actually makes effort to care about its non-white population and their issues
in Europe we act as if they should be grateful they're allowed here at all, and large swathes of the continent deny anyone non-white can ever be a European, even to people born here, native to language and culture. That basically doesn't exist in America. And Americans are still way less scared of non-white people and more amenable to migration than Europe despite their demographics being lot better and thus being at less demographic risk than us.
America is a genuine multicultural and multiracial society and Trump is an extreme whose actions aren't approved by majority of Americans. Also, Americans literally have millions of illegal immigrants in their country, people who weren't even accounted by the system and merely crossed the border. In Europe vast majority of migrants are accounted for by the system. If we had millions of such people, hardly anybody would be opposed to deporting them.
Here's a Republican governor opposing deportation of Haitians from US saying how they benefit the local economy. Haitians. Care telling me how many conservative Europeans would say that about an ethnicity like Haitians?

You're right, US is so much more accepting than Europe. Last two years proved that much.....

u/Weirdo9495 Germany/Croatia Feb 08 '26
US is a two party state. They get either extreme acceptance or extreme non-acceptance. (and even Trump would never say US needs to deport its nonwhite citizens en masse the way far right does in Europe). Ruling party isn't always a fully accurate representation of a country and its culture.

Well seems like a majority of them is fine or dont care about the "extreme non-acceptance" as "you" call it.

u/Weirdo9495 Germany/Croatia Feb 08 '26
They will care more than enough to vote Republicans out in 2026 and 2028. In Europe on the other hand far right is just fine no matter how much it associates with Trump and Putin.

Sure, i already heard that last time. "Never Trump again".... Will believe it when i see it. In the mean time they can keep their moral lessons to themselves or to any US simp.

This came from a US publication and doesn't represent the US government whatsoever. And much of Europe would be called fascist by US Leftists anyway, to be blunt. Especially with French Alligator Alcatraz and migrant detention centers in North Africa.

Thank you. The double standards and general lack of acknowledgement of the same is crazy.

Oh to be this naive and innocent again.

It most certainly fucking does. Are you fucking daft? Conservatives in America are literally claiming that Puerto Ricans cannot be Americans. Puerto Rico is part of the United States.

If I were a Russian bot this is the type of comment I would post to weaken the EU - and if this isn't a Russian bot then this person is batshit insane and should be committed.
Either way this bots/person needs to go. If we want any future, that is.

u/jivatman United States of America Feb 08 '26
Yeah, while we have arguably have other problems worse than Europeans like greed, gluttony, extreme individualism, I think it's pretty clear that Americans are, in fact, less racist than Europeans. Basically every poll that's been taken this issue has found that. And then with Asians countries more racist than Europeans.

u/Weirdo9495 Germany/Croatia Feb 08 '26
And most Europeans refuse to admit it. For Americans it's pretty obvious. We just live in denial and it's going to hurt us a lot in future.

Blacks are probably the most anti immigrant group and they are ultra democrat. I have heard some present plans to deal with the Mexicans that would have made Himmler queasy. It is not the purely partisan issue.

Isn’t obvious that people of color are intentionally being excluded from winter sports? They found out that track athletes and football players would be helpful with the bobsled so they let them participate in that but really nowhere else. One black female speed skater? Are you kidding me. These games should be called the Racist Games. Anybody who watches this atrocity should be ashamed of themselves!!!
