It isn't. It's at best a subcontinent like India. We just refer to it as its own thing for tradition's sake, and because it's so different from the rest of the continent, like how India is sometimes separated from the rest of Asia for the same reasons.

history reasons
religious reasons
cultural reasons
literally no reasons to be bothered by it outside of contrarianism

Because culture is part of geography. Hurr durr why two continents in America, hurr durr why Greenland not a continent but Australia is and so forth and so on.

>history reasons
>religious reasons
>cultural reasons

All more important than mere geography too.

So we should split up asia some more?

Please do, I'm sick of being grouped with the poo in the loos and the fucking sandniggers

It shouldn't be

Continents are arbitrary jurisdictions. "Eurasia" is the continent in a geological sense.

Because Greenland is an island.

>ummm guys geography is objective and therefore should be the determinate

shut the fuck up

borders are imaginary

>why two continents in Americ
No one but Americans believe that

>why Greenland not a continent but Australia is
Australia isnt' a continent, Oceania is

Maybe it's a cultural barrier, or maybe it's Eurocentricsm which arbitrary says "we are different from [border of Europe]"

eyes are imaginary

If you conquer and colonize most the world you get to decide how it is divided.

when you rule the whole world you're free to draw the map howsoever you like

>the Suez canal made African its own continent
>the Panama canal made SA its own continent

That's what you sound like.

>It's an "i'm a fucking idiot who thinks Continents conform around Continental plates" Episode.

Geographically, Envinromental, Relgiously,

Yeah because asia is so alike

>implying it isn't

You fail to realize continents are exclusively a historical continent. The whole world can't even agree on how many there is. The (((anglo)))-Sphere considers the America's to be two while the rest of the world considers them to be one.

Europe is 100% worthy to be considered a distinct place from the rest of Eurasia.

This. A bunch of despotic mantlets conforming to whatever.

SA isn't it's own continent, North central and south america are subcontinents.

Because it's a geographical term, not a geological one.

Just check out wikipedia, it's smarter than us.

>Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents.

first of all lets get our facts straight, europe is pic related.

So are you a salty turk or arab who's envious and wants to be part of the Europhsere?

>Britain
>Tumor
t.

>why Greenland not a continent but Australia is

I know it looks large on the map but it's actually like one fourth the size of Australia.

>Europe is 100% worthy to be considered a distinct place from the rest of Eurasia.


Sure, a subcontinent of Asia.

So you can have something to be butthurt about, obviously.

I second this.
Even as a colonial.

No, it just seems that silly that European pride means they can just arbitrarily set a continent.

this projection in general is garbage for trying to gauge the size of continents. The USA can fit within the sahara desert.

Africa is WAY, WAY bigger than it looks on this projection. Maps trigger my fucking autism so hard

You can't project a sphere into 2d without some distortions.

That's why globes are the patrician's choice.

So we should just throw out everything that is made up? Guess what? Moder fiat currency is imaginary too! It's all just numbers in computers, so let's just empty out your bank account, because you don't need spooks like money! Enjoy starving on the street.

>European pride
Except that has nothing to do with it, memet.

>a subcontinent of Asia.
It'd be Eurasia. Saying it's "asia" is ignorant, Ahmed.

Are you fucking retarded? That map is used for longitude and latitude lines.

This is why you have blacks believing that they were Egyptians.

Whites manipulated the historical record to the extent that literally everything positive was the product of white people. They were the ones doing the initial research and the history, transcribing ancient texts and sorting out what's happened in the past. They wrote the history books. So once it got out that they were full of shit in like the fifties then nonwhite people started wondering what else have they lied about?

Europe is nothing more than a peninsula of Asia. But being the unmitigated egomaniacs that they are, the Europeans set up a eurocentric view to where Europe would be its own continent separate from Asia. Never content to take the Lesser position, they always had to be on top. It was inconceivable to them that Europe could not be its own thing.

>Include the name of my small peninsula into the continents name

How fucking much of a nigger can you be?

>Europeans name it """asia"""
>Use that name
kys with a bomb, Muhammad

The irony in your statement is staggering. Europe is named after the Middle-eastern (Phoenician) princess not the other way around you illiterate orangutan.

That's not a nice thing to say to a fellow asian. At least you aren't apart of the African continent.

listen Ahmed, take your bomb and Koran somewhere else.

did this illiterate so o a bich just ask why greenland isnt' a continent??
i hope you are anally raped in the most painful way possibe... i.e. by native americans.

Crawl back to /pol/ please. Your shoehorned denial of ancient history and misattributing some user to default cancer of desert is unamusing.

What does this even mean?

Link to the source of that image?

She pretty much exclusively did interracial

...

because Mercator

Greenland is basically the size of Saudia Arabia

Well it's true, Europe is an island of Civilization in a sea of barbarians

No it isn't.

>this projection in general is garbage for trying to gauge the size of continents
Well duh. That was never the intent with the Mercator projection. Maps before had been more accurate in portraying the size of continents, but they were also incredibly impractical when trying to plan out shipping routes. With the Mercator projection it's a simple matter of drawing a straight line from point A to point B to get the exact route you need to take.

>Dumas called Corsicans savages
>The guy who's only famous because his daddy got to blow napoleon
>And he's also from fucking Africa

>It's a Veeky Forums thinks their intelligent because they're aware the Mercator projection isn't accurate in size thread

He's right though, in the present tense too.

Can't say I disagree with France here.

Europeans so far up their own asses they give themselves a continent.

>Present core of Europe
>it's the area where all the muslims and shitskins live

It's like pottery

slavshits and spics are worse than mudshits

slavs are beyond subhuman

barter tho

>calling everything behind turkey asia
>calling everything behind the indus india
>fucking india islands
why is this internationally excepted now?

>No one but Americans believe that
No. It's latinamericans the only ones that believe that. Literally the rest of the world considers it two continents.

t. latinamerican user

Eurasia is a supercontinent as North America is a subcontinent. You Anglos just think about it for a second: NORTH America is literally the northern subdivision of America and Eurasia is the merging of Europe and Asia.
Most English speakers, specially Americans (as in USA Americans) will probably disagree with this, but the fact is, your arbitrary designation of continents doesn't make any sense when you start thinking about the names that YOU yourselves gave to the continents.

>Eurasia is the merging of Europe and Asia

Or the merging of a peninsula of Asia with the rest of Asia.

Everyone consider it one continent but English speakers (because of American influence)

Your right that Europe is named after an African goddess. She was named this by Europeans, not asians.

Got it Muhammad?

because it's in the richest area

you just determine the core of Europe by referring to a situation that began in the last few years, that's just dumb

Go and take in 10 muslim refugees from afghanistan then.

Said the fucking African. Can't make this shit up.

False by every quantifiable metric, Abu.
