Many Europeans do learn English very early in the course of their education. My father spoke both German and English and you would never think that he spoke mostly German at home growing up had you read his writings.

OK, but do Norwegians call anyone in their home country coloured?

Exactly how popular are American websites across the big pond? Would he have picked up expression like MSM? Political correctness?

How many Norwegian exchange students attend Stanford, or any
US University? Rather than select examples of political correctness at US Universities, I would think a European might say, “Watch out America, what you’ve gotten is just the beginning. We’re further along the political correctness path than you” and picked examples in his native country.

Any Europeans out there? Does this look like something written by a native son to you?
