    I feel I should add context that /r/Europe is not a subreddit for Europeans, but white Americans (Ethnically European), so they don’t have any political or current events understanding of Europe.

      Ask any white Amerikkkan what their family origin is and they’ll say “I’m English/German/Irish/Italian.” Their great-great-grandparents emigrated in the 19th century and they’ve never left the county in which they were born.

        Ask about their dream catcher, you’ll get a story about a distant native american relative they’ve never met.

        I believe the country-specific subs, depending on the country, are a majority users from those countries. And /r/Europe follows the naming scheme, so that’s why you might mistake it for having European users.
