I mean, my argument for Europeans to be not ashamed of European English is that the other subcontinent and union of many peoples isn't embarrassed of their variety of English either.
it's only fair out of global neutrality to use the most commonly spoken form of English

Particularly from the subcontinent in TX, GA, and NC. Kind of reminds me of how Asian-American voters in VA reacted to George Allen's "macaca" comment some years ago.

Wherever one looks there is conflict: Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland; Jews, Christians and Muslims in Palestine; Muslims and Hindus in the Indian subcontinent; Christians and Muslims in Nigeria, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. Is not the case for atheism made?

I honestly kind of like G because the northern part of the Indian subcontinent still gives me most Indian food, but it also gives me most Middle Eastern cuisines.
For the rest of your life, you can only eat food from one of these Asian regions. Which do you choose?
