You need way more than 10 boring little millennials to make anything they do a Big Deal.
Big to you yea... you were hyping the story up like half of the country was on the train singing a sad song... but nuh uh
Could see it was nothing but a couple of pitiful lonely morons. If it wasn't caught on tape no one would even know about it. Wouldn't be big enough at all to even make world news.
It's about a big of a deal as my little bro and his friends getting spanked for doing the bad cr4p they do everyday. They're just not dumb enough to get caught on camera doing it.
They'll get spanked for it. It'll pass. Then everybody will forget about it and move on.
It's more of a big deal to the guy it happened to. Good thing someone caught it on tape so the retards doing it now look stupid and are getting instant karma over it.
You lot arguing that the train was full...have you ever ridden public transport in a major city? Because that train wasn't THAT full. Also, I've never seen anyone be pushed out by passengers on a train because it was too full. Never.

Yep! Someone said they are inbred. I disagree, these types don't even like their own kind after they've had a beer or two. As for the ppl standing around not doing anything, they were likely French as this was Paris And either they didn't understand what was being said or they, like everyone else, knows that you can't reason with football hooligans, they don't have the IQ to understand reasoning or rational thoughts.
American sports fans might be less overtly racist than their European counterparts but anyone who thinks that thugs don't abound in the stands of American sporting events has never been to a sporting event in Philadelphia . . . or New York . . . or Boston . . . or LA . . . or Oakland.
That said, I've spent a lot of time in Europe and, generally speaking, Americans are far more polite than any of them. Random people on a train in Europe won't hesitate to ask you rude, probing, or condescending questions and won't hesitate to rattle off a list of stereotypes they "know about Americans." The cultural chauvinism is extreme - and not just towards Americans but to other European countries as well.
There are plenty of Americans who will talk to other Americans about how the US is the greatest country in the history of the world and all other countries are terrible backwaters - but very few Americans would talk that kind of trash to a perfect stranger's face.
The disconnect is that if the "victim" is the arbiter of what is racist (or the latest iteration of -phobic), then basically, anything or any action is racist (or -phobic) based on the whim or interpretation of the "victim."
In addition, we've defined down racism from the ugly, unethical, and immoral exercise of power it used to be defined as, to basically the right of (any) minorities to not be offended (and they get to define what is offensive, whether intended or not by the "perp" - it's a bit of a moving target, actually), and not be held accountable, or to the same standards of conduct in civil society.
This. This, this, this....and it is so dangerous that it boggles the mind that people don't see it.
These academic SJW types are so obsessed with the old entrenched power hierarchies that they fail to realize what history has taught us, namely that even power hegemonies can quickly change, and the oppressed become the oppressor. It happened during the French Revolution, and it happened in Rwanda. Hence, it *can* happen. And it is always wrong because, human suffering is human suffering, period. The loss of your head does not *matter* less because you are royalty.

So in other words, Europeans are more honest than us?
