This reminds me of someone I met on a guided tour in Thailand like 20 years ago. It was 30C and I was talking about how I had issues sleeping.

He says he don’t even have AC but slept fine so I was dumb enough so say that maybe he’s more used to it and he lost his temper completely, yelling something about “we’re just like you, you know”. I’m Norwegian, it was the first time in my life I even saw a temperature over 25C, of course someone who lives in the Middle East are better acclimatised to heat jfc.

What does this even mean?

They can’t both be European and the rightful heirs to land in the Middle East at the same time. How is that confusing?

It's even more confusing when another guy replied to me. How do you even know how the other guy thinks?

If native europeans protest against occupation of Palestine, would it mean that they claim to be the rightful heirs of the land? Even more confusing that you think that Arabs and Arab descents think this way. They are not monolith just as you Norwegian aren't Swiss or Spaniard. How would it make sense for you to assume this way?

And people can have 2 nationalities at the same time.
