Do we endure Europeans? Are we Europeans? Do we just not like the word 
*'ewropngan *and endure its utterance? This sentence doesn't say.

The fronted topic solution is maddeningly vague, and it's probably not 
the way Klingons do things. It's not ungrammatical per se, but it seems, 
at best, awkward and oddly emphasized.
