We're not arguing about anything important. They are what they are. I think
we could agree that they're not representative of anything in particular.
That said, you're wrong. :-)
Let's put it this way. To this American, they don't look American. Too many
jarring features. So I pigeonhole them as european (call me first world
centric if you like, there's NA, EU and the ROW) and construct a *good*
argument for that viewpoint. :-)
To you, they don't look european, too many jarring features. So you
pigeonhole them as european and construct an *entirely spurious* argument
for that viewpoint. :-)
See the difference? :-)
I'm done, as long as I get last word. :-)
