Why are Europeans referred to on the internet as “Europoors?” When I am in Europe I perceive a relatively highly standard of living, infrastructure development and public safety. I do not see many Europoors.

The term "Europoors" is often used in a sarcastic or derogatory manner by some internet users, usually to refer to the economic challenges faced by certain European countries compared to wealthier nations, particularly in the context of discussions about the European Union, economic disparity, or even contrasting Europe with the U.S. In reality, many Europeans enjoy a high standard of living, excellent infrastructure, and public safety, as you mentioned. The perception of poverty or economic struggle can vary widely from one region to another, and it's important to recognize the diversity of experiences within Europe. Ultimately, such labels are often oversimplifications that don't capture the complexity of the economic landscape across the continent.
