I said there isnt a link between a country and a continent, in the context of homophobia. You just ignored the homophobia part, or did not read properly.
I didn't understand why homophobia is singled out as being different and you didn't opt to explain so I didn't worry about it. I still don't.
And as I said in the previous post, I am stopping at this iteration. I really have no more arguments and will post acknowledging to agree with you, only if you convince me with your reasoning.
Fair enough, clearly we are done then.

As noted, the difference is we don't execute people for it, nor condone those who do.

Generalizations are inherently simplified; that doesn't make them inaccurate.

In practice it usually means they use non-offensive meaningless euphemisms lest someone object.

Of course not, it's a legitimate rhetorical device if not used (or taken) literally.
