Mostly attacking Scotland and anywhere that isn't london. Shite.

Accents are a million so not a good way to divide.

Also whoever did this. Do you think Scot's sit around eating haggis all day drinking whiskey and playing the bagpipes ?

A child perhaps or London knob. Racist

Can you point to where the map hurt you?

It pokes fun at londoners just as much as northerners. In fact, id say it's crueller to the south west and Wales than anywhere.

Where does it poke fun at Londoners ? It's just stereotypes to most places.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes it's stereotypes.

The London stereotype here is where London is referenced: Funny accents. Suburban sprawl. Craft beer types Islam fundamentalists.

It says the landscape of Yorkshire, The Lake District, and The Dales is, post industrial.

Has this person never been outside of London? It just sounds like who doesn't actually know what they're talking about.

I like that you think the poster submitted original content.

Did you know that in London, there are people from the other regions of the UK and also from overseas. It's a mass generalisation. The map uses ellipses and circles.

Don't take it too seriously.

Do you think Scot’s sit around eating haggis all day drinking whiskey and playing the bagpipes ?

Of course. All while wearing kilts and tossing tree trunks.

I assumed the whole thing was designed to offend absolutely everyone.

[–] Sunfoil@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think it might not have been entirely serious, mate.

I think racist comments aren't meant to be serious. Doesn't change the outcome.

I grasp that but I don't find it amusing. It's just crap stereotypes.

Maybe try a bit harder next time. Something original. Maybe something about Scot's being tightfisted or shagging sheep. Something brand new
