See this is exactly the problem. The US puts everything out in the open and we challenge each other. The only reason you know about Trayvon Martin is because it became an international news story and a huge story. Why isn't it a huge story that there are hundreds of neo-Nazis beating up blacks and Jews at soccer matches? Because it is appallingly normal. And you think a policy position against gay marriage is the same as huge mobs of Nazis? Hah, you are an idiot. You do happen to realize that gay marriage is illegal in the majority of Europe too, right? So, by your logic, not only is Europe a racist hellhole because of racism and antisemitism, but there is widespread bigotry against gays as well. Well done.

I love also how when horrible stuff happens in Europe, Europeans will fall over themselves to say that it doesn't represent Europe, just that one small isolated pocket, while when something bad happens in the US they are more then happy to blame the entire country.

1. How do you know it isn't international news? YOU JUST WATCHED A BBC REPORT ON IT. Maybe you should be saying "it's not news in the US because nobody here cares about soccer hooligans in another continent". Maybe it's only idiots in the US who have decided it's the norm in Europe.
2. The US is an actual country, so claiming something reflects badly on the US is far less absurd.
3. People who oppose gay marriage are basically fascists. I think Ben has even claimed that recognition of marriage is supposed to serve the interests of the state. Yes, there are backward parts of Europe like Poland where even abortions are restricted.
4. American racists don't generally put everything out in the open.
