The Cultural Appropriation of European Ethnicities.

Once again we ha ve a film that seeks to r#pe Europeans of their ethnic and cultural identities by portraying Arab and African actors as "German" or "Dutch" or "English" ETC. If they made films set in Africa whereby a European was portrayed as a Zulu or in the Mideast, where a European was portrayed as being a Saudi or whatever, people would call it what it is. Not only cultural appropriation, but a form of ethnic genocide directed against the real identity of a people.
Germans are a unique European (white for you daft Americans out there) ethnicity. As are the Italians and French and English and Poles and Hungarians ETC. They don't look like Arabs or blacks or Asians. Arabs look like Arabs, Asians look like Asians and black Africans look like black Africans. Europeans don't. Sorry if you find these FACTS to be offensive. But it is the FACT. Truth.

Europeans need to rise up and take back their country from Globalist scum. African and Arab immigrants are leeches and don't deserve to reap European way of life.

What is the"European" way of life?

Until Cesar you were fcking savages. Less than 100 years ag you were putting people in ovens. And if it weren't for the US you'd all be speaking German and Russian.

Fck Europe.

I have been to Germany lots of times,not counting recent migrants who are legally resident there I see lots of Germans who look different to each other.

Some have French or Polish or even Russian sounding names,some look like their origins lie further to the east than the current position of Germany.

I was in Berlin in 2015,I like Berlin but I was surprised that there were so many migrants from other european nations there.
I was in Cologne a couple of years before that,there seemed to be more Italians there than locals in the city centre.

If you look at a map you see that Germany is a big country,it has always been settled by lots of different from different backgrounds.

Assuming that all Germans are the same is silly.

But perhaps the original comment means that non white people can never be Germans in his eyes? a bit late now,the alliance with the Turks was the start.

It was troll clickbait, and honestly, nobody should've replied. Germany truly is big, but it is still divided mostly along the lines of former occupation zones as far as the inhabitants are concerned. The former Ossies had for years embraced Die Linke, and now they're in love with the AFD.

Speaking of the latter, they're the flesh and blood form of hatred for anything non-German, including other white Europeans. A couple of years ago some have raved about the scenario, that Poles will steal all the electrician and plumber jobs, it's nothing new under the sun.

That is not even mentioning, how most Europeans can't list 5 unique cultural traits from a different nation, that isn't a stereotype, let alone speak their language, so this topic is BS.

I live in the Gordius Apartment Complex, my interior designer was M.C. Escher.

Lately in the films and TV shows I keep seeing that the bad guy is from England. Is this because Hollywood doesn't want to offend any other peoples?

Trollol! Maybe everyone should watch the film before posting trash. This one probably have the least "diversity" I've seen in a action movie set in Europe in the last 30 years. Zero black people omfg. Instead we have this merry band of German hipster beards when really most of the cast should've been played by MENA filth drug pushers and killers like, you know, in real life.
