> it’s simply a “human mindset” and we all view others outside of our borders as beneath us I am sad to read this stated as common knowledge, especially in a forum that promotes curiosity. It is not true in my opinion, and should not be normalized. I am not taking sides in "Euros" or people from US or anything like that, because there are competent people everywhere, but this is not a "human mindset". It has a more fitting name: ignorance. I am not saying you are ignorant (you are just expressing a supposedly common view), but people who think they are above foreigners (no matter which specific country we take as reference) are. In the last few millennia humans have progressed a lot thanks to cross-pollination of many origins: Greek thought, Italian, Arab, British, American, just to name a few. Suffice to say, I do not share this jaded view of the world.
