I have no clue what you're talking about, I just know that Eastern Europeans have made a significant contribution to the US over the decades and generally speaking, they're liked in the US. We've got more Polish American clubs than you can shake a stick at. They used to tell Polish jokes here in some circles, but those have died off.

BTW, what's the matter with you? Can't you see that this is how the globalists want it, people fighting with each other and tearing into each other over bogus political stuff? Can't you see that Western Europe pretends a superiority it doesn't own? They've succeeded, to a great degree, so just knock it off and don't feed the beast.

And of course (in your opinion) America and Russia don't...
The difference is they (America/Russia) would rather like to split EE between themselves while Germany is the self-proclaimed ruler of Europe ever since the 1930s.

America and Russia just want the "good ol days" back, the times before 1989 when post 1945 Churchill and Stalin wanted to divide eastern europe.

China is the only world leader that doesn't have imperialistic ambitions anywhere, including in EE, the rest that can be beneficial for the regioin are far from world leaders but still important: Israel, Saudis and the likes. Certainly invoking old world order or the getting-outdated ideas like EU wouldn't help us.

China has a lot of imperialistic ambitions. Island building and territory reclamation. They may be less blunt about it, but the mindset is very much there.

I'm not sure what you meant about Israel and Saudi Arabia, but they have their own ambitions in the ME.

Once again, what's the matter with you? Are you just trolling? What does this have to do with "Why Are Eastern Europeans Looked Down Upon"? Are you just trying to stir the pot by throwing Russia, Israel, SA and China into it?

I think eastern Europeans were/are considered a bit less intelligent and more harsh in their manners compared to western and northern Europeans. This goes back hundreds of years in European history and it continued with last century the eastern Europeans trailing Western Europe in technology, economy, freedom. For me personally, eastern Europeans appear not very kind or friendly....that is my impression based on a limited sample having worked in Russia but I want to visit other eastern European countries in the hopes my mind is changed.

Eastern Europe is very large and diverse. The former members of the Austrohungarian Empire are the ones closest to Western Europe.

Pretty much. OP before visiting Prague/Budapest/any other "eastern european place":
"They're just retards who like America 'cause we're christians just like them".

OP when he visits EE: "********* guys I'll just go home and ride my pick-up truck to vote for Trump, with mai guns and burgers loaded, europe sucks".
