I feel that you may be correlating untreated mental illness with a lack of education, and those are not the same things.

The initial commenter talked about not being able to read and thinking dogs can get autism.

You said this is a crazy people thing and Europe has just as many if them, but they are just more "quiet".

I corrected you that this is an education thing and that is why Europe has less people who can't read or think that dogs can get autism.

I also linked education and healthcare to having more mentally stable people.

Edit:

And the USA has more of both. More mentally ill people AND more uneducated people.

I suggest you get a dictionary and look up the word “nuance”

Edit: apparently, Europeans are just as capable of xenophobia and bigotry as Americans are. We have so much in common!

So unappealing facts now count as xenophobia? Are you gonna declare me a terrorist next for not agreeing with your opinion? Very American of you.
