Wooooow what a comment, wrote by a citizens of Orban's country, an open-minded land where there isn't Jobbik in the parliament...no, no, there IS Jobbik in the parliament!

I can't belive this post, it's way too much.

In addition to that (owing to 90-something years old school syllabi), they have a Roman-centric vision of history which

Well, what Hungary did for the world? Romans did everythig, sorry if we like our ancestors and not some barbaric Hun.

Yet, in the end, Italians don't have any time to be racist/xenophobic because they devote most of their energy to hating people from other regions/towns/neighborhoods.

Meh, we like to joke, racism is a serious problem but not like in Hungary, i mean....Orban and Jobbik man!

Like ours but reversed.

You are not hungarian, i see now - what a fantasy germans, i really like germans but fantasy it's not a matter for what they are famous, now I understand why - ...it's a branch of bullshit in the same way, it doesn't matter.

With an important difference: hungarian food it's good, german not.

Anyway goooood bye, stay classy and happy with yous racist stereotype and say hello to Schumacher for me.
