Woah, the reaction you are getting is a bit insane. Some people cannot take any criticism of europe, even if your comment wasn't even actually critical at all. It's ironically starting to remind me of the super defensive americanism that was common a decade ago.

European Union legislation mandates that all 27 member states must by law grant all employees a minimum of 4 weeks of paid vacation. (but yes, in practice, many offer more. one of the benefits of the EU, and of welfare states, is that there is a floor through which nobody should fall. the EU Working Time Directive is another thing for which I am grateful.)

Sorry for the rude people on here :-).

This is just trash honestly. Getting offended by what you perceived to be criticism by "the american boogeyman out to put down glorious europe" is not a reason for this mildly racist reply
