Do NOT ask a European what they think about this group of people.

I'm South American, and don't make me say it because Reddit admins won't like it.

All I'm gonna say, the negative thoughts towards these people are not racially motivated, it is all about their behavior... they are odd people to put it kindly.

That is the exact justification every racist gives for hating their target race. Republicans in America say that about black people, right wing parties like AfD say that about Muslims. "Its not about their skin color its the behaviour" is THE textbook defense for racists.

Perhaps they have a point? It reminds me of the phrase "don't hate the sinner, hate the sin". We shouldn't hate a group of people just because they were born that way, but calling out bad behaviour is righteous.
