You&#x27;ll note that it was grand parent that called me a <i>European</i> and not me. He happened to be right. But maybe that should tell you something about how I don&#x27;t pretend to speak for an entire continent but just my corner of it. Maybe a part of the world with 50 countries has some variety within it, I don&#x27;t know.<p>And personally I don&#x27;t identify as a <i>European</i>. I prefer <i>Eurasian</i>... ;)<p>P.S. English class-consciousness is a pretty funny thing.
