I saw a News on TV. One woman somewhere in the States said she dismissed muslims, arabs and the other non american - ethnicities, cause they are parasites for white people.
I was realy shocked and pretty sad to hear that insultment cause Iam not american. So what do we in Europe or Britain think about it ?

How can I answer your question with a Yes or a No...? (which you wrote as a footnote)
There is a somewhat 'different' way of thinking amongst other cultures, so it is foolish of we westerners to assume that others think in the same way and with the same baseline of values.
I recall reading about a white teacher in a school for 'native Americans' who found it incredibly difficult to get the pupils to cooperate and give answers when she asked something of them as a class!
The answer to this lack of cooperation was that amongst these people (this tribe!), it was seen as 'bad manners' or 'arrogance' even ~ to be seen as demonstrating your knowledge of something which might show up others about you as being 'ignorant.'
Calling or referring to some one or group as being parasites is meant in derogatory terms. But, why is being a parasite a negative? We have parasitic organisms living on our bodies which, in effect, keep us clean and (in that way) somewhat healthy. Where would you be (and in what state) without yours?
As a side thought, if those parasites are so unplesant, then why would we be having anything to do with them! trading with them, buying the oil found under where they live?
Anyhow, those considerd by some as parasites or whatever other derrogatory terms someone might want to use, are what provides the Gung~ho & Rear-End Kickers of this world that pious ground NEEDED in order to feel "Superior."
'Delusion,' however generated, is a wonderful state to be in.
Sash.

Its a shame that in our culture of instant communication, so many of us still refuse to educate one another effectively. Without bias, judgement nor close-mindedness.
Sad to say, but this womans voice is the voice of MANY americans. One has to remember that not everyone has the priviledge of growing up in mixed/multi-cultural communities as those in Europe. America is a nation that prides itself on selfpreservation and tradition, and being politically the "youngest" of the worlds nations; there are still remnants of an older society within the population.
This woman, like many americans, obviously does not believe in globalization. It would scare her to know that in many foreign countries "WHITE" is obselete. And that is what she and other racial supremist are holding on to when they make such disparaging claims.
But dont fret. Not all Americans are like her. Atleast I'm not.

Not all Americans think like that woman. For example - me.
Sometimes, I think people who think like that are the parasites. I try not to join 'em on that level, but...
