> a typical Eastern European would be much more racist and macho a that a westerner How do you know that ? I think that what you say is racist and it's oposite, as they > don't have a history of colonisation and slavery to see others as resources, to justify it and use that if convinient, or enough of them to make such opinions - but see just other people. Edit: Ok, what you say is just self-attribution (" would be ").

I'm born in Eastern Europe, our ways are perceived as very racist in the West. Quite a minefield trying not to offend someone but it's also easy to learn because in the west people are still racist but they distilled it to some forbidden keywords. Like Kanye West crossed the line when said the forbidden words and Musk closed his account but before saying the keyword, he was the same guy expressing the same opinions for a long time and everyone knew what he was talking about. This comment itself is an example of the western "keywordiness". For some reason, attributing national characteristics is considered racist in the west(Spanish are easygoing, Germans are polite and distant but once you crack the surface they are friends for life, Brits are easy to chat hard to form deep friendship - we have all kind of attributions about other nations and we talk about it openly. According to us, this is not racist because we judge the individual and these attributes are just expectation, not judgements ). Also for some reason if you are from the group you are talking about your are exempt. Funny stuff really. Whe in the UK, I offended so many people that they decided to leave the EU :) JK - not observing political correctness is our national trait but doesn't mean that Eastern Europeans are your average American right winger. > to see others as resources and to need justify it and self, or enough of them to make such opinions - but see just other people. Can you write this sentence in a more legible way please? I don't understand what you are trying to say?

  >Spanish are easygoing, It depends. Mediterranean, Atlantic and Continental people can be very diverse. Rural Basques are pretty close compared to the cheerful and jolly Andalusians. The Castillians are kinda like Basques with a bit on openness, but reservated in lot of questions. 50/50. Spain can have weathers from rainy climates (even more than London across the year, trust me, the North it's like that) to literal desserts, from -30C in top of the mountains in Winter to 45+C in the Southern places. Hitting negative temperatures in Winter on non-coastal regions it's the norm.
