> No European I've ever met self-identified, nor liked being called, a tribe of Europe

Certainly not a "tribe" of europe but as someone who changes country on a regular basis, which would not be possible if not for Europe's wonderful no-visa-needed travel policies, I enjoy being called (and calling myself) european rather than French or Greek or whatever. I care little for patriotism and what not - we're all sharing the planet.

ymmv. :)
