Lol, it's an individual in their field trying to give a friendly warning to a person who is too entitled to even try to understand the local dialect (not even different language!).

No one is being discriminated against, clown.

He is speaking Scots though. You can start arguments saying it isn't a language.

this isn't scots writing, this is someone who is probably not scottish trying to represent scottish english with text

Jfc with the semantics and completely missing of the point.. It's considered by many a dialect of English and should be understood by other English speakers without too much trouble. There, is that better? 🙄

the semantics

Ironically enough, you don't seem to know the meaning of the word.

Yeah no, try listening to someone that actually speaks Scots and tell me is easily understood.

But it clearly isn't easy to understand the local dialect. And the other person doesn't even try to make himself be understood, eg by speaking slower.

There are tons of German dialects I would have trouble understanding as a German. Saying it's entitled to not be able to understand something like that is just far from reality if not ableist.

The picture is just a joke about the cultural hate of Scottish people against British people due to the history of these nations. It's not made to be taken seriously, but if you do… of course it's discrimination. I mean not the joke itself but what happens to the character in the joke. Like lol, it's literally because they are British. Trying to deny that is just ridiculous.
