  America skews down in a lot of metrics as we accept a huge amount of immigrants who come with nothing from poverty. Europe barely accepts anyone and is a white monoculture, which makes it look better on paper.

    > Europe barely accepts anyone and is a white monoculture, which makes it look better on paper. Have you bothered to look up the statistics? https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Migration_and_migrant_population_statistics https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php... https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/key-findings-about-us-immigrants/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/key-findi... The US has 46.1 million immigrants, while the EU has 27.3 million. Hardly the "barely accepts anyone", don't you think? > anyone and is a white monoculture, Yeah, I see your knowledge of Europe is 0. We have 24 official languages, how many do you have?

      It's not even close https://www.statista.com/statistics/1378084/migrants-stock-world-highest-population/#:~:text=The%20United%20States%20hosted%2C%20by,16%20and%2013%20million%2C%20respectively https://www.statista.com/statistics/1378084/migrants-stock-w.... Norway is frequently mentioned by US leftists as a country we should emulate. Not even 5.5 million people, fewer than the single US state of Massachusetts, with the overwhelming majority white natives. The EU also has very strict requirements for residency, including language and skill requirements, while the US takes in foreigners without any education, skills, or money to support themselves. It's not even remotely close, and by pretending it is, shows you know literally zero about immigration.

        > The EU also has very strict requirements for residency, including language and skill requirements, while the US takes in foreigners without any education, skills, or money to support themselves I thought the US required a visa, same like the EU. Your subjective opinion that the US allows everybody but the EU is too strict might be wrong, have you thought about that. Here is, for example, info how to get a worker visa for Sweden: https://immigration-portal.ec.europa.eu/sweden-employed-worker_en https://immigration-portal.ec.europa.eu/sweden-employed-work... "If you wish to work in Sweden as an employed worker for more than three months, you must have: - a work and residence permit; and - a valid passport. Workers in certain sectors need not apply for a work permit." Are those the "very strict" EU requirements you were referring to? You also didn't answer my question, we have 24 official languages, how many do you have? The fact is that the EU has a combined 30 million immigrants, and the US has 46 million. Hardly a difference to warrant your false statement that the EU: "barely allows immigration", would you not agree? > Norway is frequently mentioned by US leftists as a country we should emulate. Not even 5.5 million people, fewer than the single US state of Massachusetts, with the overwhelming majority white natives. Have you heard of Vermont? A state with 94% Caucasian population. You called Europe a "white monoculture" (although we speak 24+ languages) based on Norway, one of the many countries in Europe (keep in mind Norway is not in EU) comprises of, what does that make Vermont? It reveals you have no idea of immigration, what countries the EU comprises of (Norway is not in EU), and haven't checked the stats showing we have more cultures, official languages and ethnicities than the US.
