"I was surprised to learn when I visited America that a certain caste of people; I think you call them "white" -- I wouldn't know, we have no concept of 'white people' in our faraway lands, were disparaging a peripheral and seemingly marginalized people of darker complexion. Can someone explain to me what I was witnessing here? Is this what you call, "racism" in your lands? Again, I wouldn't know, for I am a cosmopolitan young man from Austria - this treatment is completely foreign to us in Europa Universalis. Also, do all Americans purchase and consume such high calorie beverages? What is sugar? -- Yours regretfully, Hans."
