Seriously, no it isn't. This is just a racist talking point. In the US, they used to say this about African-Americans and I've heard the same about men from basically any country south of the US, though the folks that spurt this are generally lumped together as "Mexicans" regardless of nationality. I'd be unsurprised if this isn't pretty common throughout bigots of the world, merely changing out immigrant groups to fit the narrative.

And I'll assume this unless you can prove that this is at Most an isolated incident that racists use to prop up their propaganda.

So do you know this for a fact, or are you speculating that it's racism? Have you ever been to Europe?

I live in Europe, though I'm an immigrant, hence my talking about racism in the US more - that's where my familiarity lies.

But I'm guessing you did this as some sort of weird gotcha that doesn't make sense: One can get a feel for different sorts of racism in the world by communicating with folks different from yourself.

If you live in Europe, then be specific. Directly comparing the US to EU doesn't make sense.

Great, and who did you talk to, what did they say, and how did you determine their biases?
