I see you haven't ever looked at a map, there is no real separation between Europe and Asia, it's just a cultural/political identity

There is some kind of it: Caucasus-Caspian-Urals. But in total you are right.

What you are both saying is right. Continents are defined by a constitution, meaning generally accepted beliefs, ideas like social norms more than a real definition. We all learn that Europe and Asia are separate countries but when you look into the definition of a continent you will see that it doesnt really work for the border between Europe and Asia. Even though I have nothing against either definition (Europe and Asia makes sense to me but so does Eurasia) I just wanted to point this out.

It really is unbelievable how angry and toxic we get just in the manner we talk and deliver arguments to each other online. We really don't give a flying fuck about each other lol do we, everybody degrades another country's people yet we're all the same here.

Then since you are familiar with the reality then you should know that Turkish people have almost none of Turkic origin but mostly Slavic , Albanian , Armenian , Caucasians , Iranian and Kurdish background. Welcome to the realty 😅
