Almost all Europeans aren't circumcised. The trend is declining in America too. Circumcision is unnecessary and potentially harmful. It was started for religious reasons in the Jewish faith and gained widespread popularity in the United States. So it's not just white people.

It's not limited to only white people. Some people feel it's an unnecessary cruelty placed on the child.

Not all are Jewish or Muslim so don't require it as religious rite. Others didn't have Jewish doctors. In Nazi Germany being circumcised was enough proof of you being Jewish to have you sent to a concentration camp.

Genital mutilation of children is abhorrent for any reason. If it is medically necessary for a condition such as phimosis, then that can be done when the boy is older. Mutilating children for cosmetic or religious reasons should be banned.

Because honestly for me it feels better during sex. Don't know why my parents didn't get it done to me. And I'm not Jewish or European.

Takes away too many nerve endings. There are more nerve endings in the foreskin than in the tip of your finger.
Besides, it's too cruel.

What the point of being born with a penis if your going to start chopping bits off?

Because there's absolutely no medical reason to do it. It's purely cosmetic and I would never do this to a child.
