Why is it okay to generalize the uk as being racist but it's not okay to generalize certain countries as sexist and homophobic, shouldn't we just respect their culture?

You're right and I apologize. The UK is sexist, homophobic, and now also officially racist

To be fair, with the return to the dark ages, I don't think the 18-24s will live to be 40.

Nope, everyone is pretty much Schrödinger's racist. They exist in a quantum racist state until they are observed disagreeing with you on any subject, from economic policy to favorite candy bar.

Blacks, people who have a black friend and people who precede any statement that you might incorrectly think is racist with "not racist but,".

Those countries haven't incited secession and destabilised european unity. European parliament is pulling out all the stops to try and fast track britain's exit so it can't fester for years as "totally leaving this shithole....tomorrow." guy or work out some half assed compromise which is what any uk government will desperately want to do. Europe does not want Britain to unfuck this, unlike an E/N poster, its actually gonna sever.

Visit no but find work there yes. That's an option I've always had before and I don't feel like giving it up unless it's for something that benefits me personally.

I'm just honestly curious because I feel like people who are just peachy saying how lovely and backwards certain white cultures are get really into cultural relativity the second darker skins get involved. On the scales of what's worse I feel like people wanting to stick to their own is a lesser evil than not letting women drive but it seems like the modern progressive movement doesn't really share my order of priorities.

The brits backed a blockbuster Iraq action movie, helped destabilized the region they hosed up last century, and this all helped create the migrant crisis they hate. Now they don't want to deal with the consequences anymore because they're white and on an island. Country throws a tantrum and votes to leave the EU and is now shocked their currency is at a 30 year low and people call them racists. Top shelf comedy gold
