For many northern Europeans, Southern Europe is pretty much the same as Africa. With all the same prejudice included. It is what it is.

- arijo 6y agoI'm Portuguese (Southern European) and cannot possibly understand this comment .. What do you care what others think? What matters is that (at least my country) has reached a level of cultural and technological development that cannot be compared to what it was 20-30 years ago. And I don't think the well educated younger generations share your silly inferiority complex too ..
- simongray 6y agoAs a Northern European, it's such a shame to see this attitude spread in Southern Europe. You see it a lot on /r/europe these days, this idea that people in Northern Europe are biased against people from the South.
- lucian1900 6y agoUs Southern and Eastern Europeans constantly experience prejudice from Northern and Western Europeans. It’s especially noticeable if you’re an immigrant. It’s not an attitude, merely an observation.

- pvaldes 6y agoWe definitely have an African component in our flora, yes. This makes our ecosystems (and our kitchen) special and our nature much more interesting with lots of African endemisms. Spain is (probably [1]) the European country with a higher biodiversity. Italy comes close in that rank also. [1] excluding Russia, that is a special case (being Asian and European at the same time).
