I feel it is more then fair to ask for some sort of evidence to back up a claim, and failure to do so for what ever reason is more then fair to create doubt.

Glad to see that now, since finally I hope that you understand what I meant, we will be able to conclude this nonsensical argument 
You would be surprised. Actually, there is still a behaviour among many Europeans as if we were (as we were someday, certainly) some kind of model of how to act and how to rule the world. For me, Europe has already proven many times that it's just a rotten apple, although most of us think we're the best around.
And I think that you didn't understand what I meant. I wouldn't include South America in the term, if we're taking the meaning that most of the people in here give it, that is, USA. But yes, when I say America, I refer to America as a whole, North, Central, and South America. But I don't hate anybody from any of those places, nor I scorn them, look down on them, or whatsoever you may think. I wouldn't be surprised but I will make quick mention that the very thing you are saying you don't do you are both doing to Europeans and as you say Europe as a whole has the said views (which you are part of) you are sort of burning bridges from both ends but meh just food for thought.
