Glad to see someone FINALLY calling this out. The most nefarious part of this whole thing is that Europe is not even a continent, it's just a bunch of weird peninsulas on peninsulas jutting out of Asia that look like earth designed them while going through a postmodern art phase.

And the natural and obvious solution, which is to acknowledge that Europe is just part of Asia? Yeah, they already had a countermove prepared for that one. They'll make you call is "Eurasia" (try even sounding out that word without picturing it coming straight from the lips of a soijak meme, you literally can't), retaining the common, vulgar, weak, licentious E in its undeserved initial position.

"Oh," they'll say, "what about Afro-Eurasia? What, don't want Africa included? You're not RACIST are you?" Yep, in a classic example of "E"lite gaslighting and hypocrisy, they'll call YOU a racist, even though they're so averse to being associated with Africa that they can't help but hyphenate the term they offered up, they can't stand the thought of it really belonging there. But the hyphen not only gives away their deep-seated racist tendencies: it also disinclines decent, ordinary folk to get on board with the term as well, who understandably just want a good, clean word for the continent without arcane characters that look like they were made in a fucking lab somewhere. They know full well they're just poisoning the well with that bullshit, and it'll just get good people who want to solve this problem for good arguing over what a continent even is till the end of time.

The only answer? Just call "Eurasia" Asia, and call it the European subcontinent. They have no countermove to that, game over. That's why they won't let you talk about it. Mods will probably nuke this thread now that I've brought it up.
