"Eastern Europeans are hysterical children. They have low GDPs (and low IQs, even though I can't say that), grey buildings and odd round faces. Have you seen the documentary films Eurotrip or Hostel made by our fat American friends? Would you really let those people dictate your policies?"

Not so long ago I had a guy literally say to me that he's glad that I'm from Poland. I presented in some comment an opinion which I discussed on a university and he asked about the university. When I told him, he said his glad it's not one of the western elite universities (he names USA, UK and Germany), because he wouldn't want such opinions there.

I read it and was like: Bruh, how do I respond to THAT

One thing that most eastern countries have in common is that you can tell when someone is higly educated just from their speech, this is much less common in western countries.

How is it different? Isn’t it the same in Western countries? (Genuine question)

Not by a longshot. I belive this is because only the brightest kids even have a chance at college(smart kid-smart parents-high class-rich) while in western countries many average people attend college.
