:patrice: i mean i understand the mythology associated with the name and excuses that have been used such as "caucasus moutains, caspian and black sea" separating it from asia but that still doesn't make it a continent.

I'ma go with this one.

Honestly though this is a great question, I'ma need to get books on this.

No you don't it is white supremacy what more else can you discuss or find out lol. Point blank period. It is the same way how they have Europe and United States look larger than they are on the world map/Globe when African can fit American and Europe combined with more to fill.

lol, that's too easy an answer. I want to know exactly what brought them to this conclusion, I'm sure there's some racist white supremacy story behind it but I like knowing the particulars. That's what makes it a good question. In fact, if Australia is a continent then why is Greenland considered only an island? Australia just a big ass island like Greenland but it was allowed to be a continent tho. :patrice:

I looked up continents on wikipedia because I'm pretty sure I learned about the actual continent being Eurasia in primary school, turns out Europe isn't a continent at all. So I looked up the english wiki-page (I get the page in dutch by default) to quote here, turns out on the english page it actually DOES mention Europe as a continent :ohhh: so no real answer from me here, I am actually quite confused right now:ld:

You in America? Honestly, I never remember it being taught as Eurasia until my junior year of high school and even then it was just a term used to describe both continents. I'ma need the history of that.
