Which place? Man, I'm the less patriotic person in my country, but somebody here is describing Italy like it's Germany 1938, lol. least, right? I know, my English sucks, lol. I lived in Firenze. The people there treated Italians of Black and Middle Eastern origin like hot garbage. The US is a cesspool of racism, to be sure. But people here like to talk about Europe as if it’s this egalitarian utopia, when in reality people there are quite racist, too.

Poulter didn't have a very good tournament herself?! Do you remember that the last two games she started we got into a 2-0 deficit and the only game of the two we won was Carlini in relief. But USA got wrecked today, just embarrassing. Also I think we could have maybe have won that Serbia game if Karch didnt do a dub sub put carlini and cuttino in just for them to get us into a 4 point deficit when it was even in set one and two. The most productive OH for the U.S. was missing today. That matters. And I'm not hating on Poulter, she was clearly struggling through some injury.

Europeans using Kurds as a scapegoat for their racism should indeed not happen, literally all of Turkey is mixed up, that was the point of the Ottoman Empire, there were literally no ethnicities only religions, I'm part Kurdish as well and it disgusts me how we are always used by people that couldn't give two %*$#s about us just to hate on Turkey. Both Anatolian Turks and Anatolian Kurds are (mostly) Anatolian native people aka not a different race anyway, that's not racism but indeed discrimination has happened severely in the past, this is why I said racism is close to being non-existent but ethnic clashes have and had been happening. Though today the Kurdish problem is not really prevalent anymore as everyone mixed up a long time ago and Kurds are everywhere like any other ethnic group in Turkey (there are many actually) anyway back to vb indeed So, you're telling me that Turkish army is not bombing Iraqi Kurdistan anymore, lol? Yes, better back to VB. Did you even read my post, see this is my point, this is completely off-topic, neither is this about racism, you are just using Kurds to feel more comfortable about your own situation which as a Kurd I tell you to get the f* of our backs and it's fake af. Sadly everyone has been bombing Iraqi and Syrian Kurdistan but the issue is not prevalent inside Turkey as I said, the issue is more complicated than it appears and one where I don't side with this current government and neither does the majority of Turkey hence why we will change governments. But the PKK which does have power there has been internationally recognized as a terrorist organization and has been bombing Turkey for a long time as well as burned kilometers of forests inside the country, hence it's one Turkey is fighting against as well right outside its border. The regions its most active are Kurdish regions as well... So you are not onto something. I think the conflict will come to and end soon if you guys stop intervening and arming terrorists against both the native people and your allies maybe! Right now Iran has been boming Iraqi Kurdistan as well, and Syria not long ago as well aka all its neighbors. But without outside influence the conflict would have been solved a long time ago.

Question, "Caterina, tears of joy today! "
Answer: "I don't know. A little bit of everything today."
"Today, however, it went well."
"Yes, yes, it went well absolutely. There was a medal at stake we won it. It is an important medal and it is always a medal, it should be valued. Let's say that maybe my tears there is a little bit of everything that has accumulated in three days because anyway even losing the semifinal, we all know that there is then an important match that brings a medal and you have to kind of keep calm or don't get caught up in the emotions and maybe now all [the emotions] came out a little bit."
"However, you were good to bounce back and play a good competition today."
"It wasn't easy it's been a tough few days, with a lot of criticism from the outside and insecurities inside. because anyway when you lose such an important game like that against Brazil it's normal isn't it? Today we had a great match like the great team we are we have a medal around our necks that was not a given."

Egonu deserves so much better. She literally carries the NT and her club teams on her back and she's only 23. If stepping away from the NT is what is best for her mental health, I'm 200% all for it.
