I am not in Australia. Please don't assume people worldwide share your
beliefs. For you, being in England may well be being European, but for me,
here, it isn't. Why can't (or won't) you accept that..?

That remark doesn't make me a European either. It simply shows you are
completely devoid of respect for others.
