Although there are many complains to be had about the EBU, I feel like being inclusive outside of european borders shouldn't be one.
I'd love to see more countries join. Just not genocidal ones though.
So you want the Olympics of music, not the EUROvision
Your closed mindedness speaks for itself.
Just because something originated from one continent doesn't mean only people from said contient should enjoy it. It's not even an European Union competition, it came from Switzerland which was never part part of EU.
By your own logic only Greeks should participate in the OLYMPIC games. Olympe was in Ancient Greece. Mount Olympus is literary in Greece.

I never mentioned the EU
Switzerland is a EUROpean country, the Eurovision existed before the EU... Like... Decades before.
If the Olympics were called "the Greek games" I certainly would be saying it's not meant to be an international competition, but the name isn't the name of a country, or continent, it's based on the name of a mountain.
