== Not racist == | |||
George, just wanted to point out, as you may have taken what I wrote the wrong way. I am not a racist and I'm not singling out Americans. I originally said Americans in the article because it a common mistake made by them. Nothing to do with the 'stupid stereotype', it's just how it is, I am fully aware not all Americans are stupid. | |||
I changed it to "People living outside of Europe" and you (again) reverted this and claimed it was anti-American. | |||
Now look, America isn't the only country outside of Europe, you know that. Europe is a fairly small continent and as a result of the EU, the majority of us know the difference between the UK, and it's seperate countries, so the England Scotland Wales thing isn't an issue here. However, for people in other continents, Asia, Africa, North America etc, the differences aren't so well known, and so it is far more common for them to not realise the subtle differences. | |||
Now I'm not gonna change it back again, we'll leave it how it is now... just wanted to point it out that I wasn't being racist I was just stating it was a common error by people living in countries far away from the UK. That's all. | |||
