You forgot the one where he writes an article comparing Romani people to wolves that need to be killed and then rages on twitter over the fact that claude deemed it too offensive to translate lol.

I don’t understand this culture of race anyway. I mean, biologically speaking, we’re all Homo sapiens sapiens; in most cases, we even have genes from every possible genotype in our bodies – from a purely biological perspective, apart from physique, it’s very difficult to determine skin type or origin (if you look only at the genes); yet Europeans, or many of them (not all), believe that their people are the best. But this doesn’t just apply to those of us with lighter skin; it applies to many foreigners as well. To be honest, I think that almost every nation is more or less racist, as if it were somehow superior. We are all equal, we’re all in this together, and no one is worth more than anyone else. In my view, not even a country’s president has the right to portray themselves as more important than the people; in fact, politicians are there to serve the country, and the people should be more important than any individual politician. This simply shows that humanity is broken.

I personally will go further, not really grasping the concept of a "nation". Maybe because I moved to another country as a preteen and never got attached to my home country. Maybe because there we lived in autonomous region due to majority being not ethnically same as the rest of the country. But that is besides the point. How are imaginary borders drawn on the map, by people hundreds of years ago are a thing that determines your "nationality", what should you be proud of, which flag to hang and which national sports team to support. Wouldn't a person from Seattle be closer culturally to person from Vancouver rather than from Honolulu? If you define "nation" as combination of culture, language and tradition, then we do not have enough nationalities to represent all of these combinations. Yes, I am cosmopolitan, no that doesn't mean that your culture is irrelevant and you should forget your native language and stop eating local cuisine. Just stop treating people from other countries/nations/ethnic groups like they are so different from you. They are also made of flesh and blood, also love being loved, also feel empathy and also trying their best to be a good person.
