I don’t think arguing with Hendo is going to achieve anything. For him to realise that his views are wrong is about as likely at the Pope becoming a Rabbi – it would require a paradigm shift.

Hendo, I hope that you enjoy your trip to Europe. That you get to visit lots of interesting places and learn a bit more about other cultures. I hope that you get to taste some of the great European dishes, beer, wine etc. I also hope that you meet a drop dead gorgeous European woman that you madly fall in love with, who convinces you to live in her country for a while, so that you really get to see how those foreigners live. It might make you realise that they’re not actually that different from you. You might be surprised to find that most people in this world just want to have a loving family, a safe home, a stable job and good friends. I also hope that you experience what it’s like to feel like an “outsider”, so that you’re a little bit more tolerant towards others and you stop seeing them as e.g. Asians – and start seeing them as people.
