We're reaching levels of racism we never even thought were possible!
Those sound like the words of a filthy tomato eating southerner
Made by an Italian?
Scandinavia is more about beer than vodka btw.
Hmm. That Catholicism line needs to take a sharp turn to the north at Brittany rather than shoot off into the Atlantic.
There are Protestants in Ireland, even in the heart of capital of the Republic (i.e. Dublin), but Catholicism is still the Christianity of the majority over there as far as I'm aware.
(Irish folks feel free to correct me on this.)
I'm sure the Irish aren't too hung up on it. Catholicism, Protestantism, who's keeping track!?
These maps are reminiscent of the accuracy and care with how the British divided up nations half way across the world.
Those poor Ukrainians who are working all the time but are still considered lazy
Me, an American, looking at 17: "You guys get to live 21 days per year?"
You're tearing Europe apart Lisa!
Oh hai Marx
Anyway, how's your Brexit life?
Apart from the location of some of those lines, I find this accurate
How could you say something so objectively racist and yet so true 🥲
I'm a fat uncultured American. People eat while walking????
I think that’s more metaphoric. Us Americans have a ton of eating on the go. Drive thrus, pop tarts. Southern Europe is all about big sit down meals
Ah that makes sense. In that case, I am team walking food!
The 14 is wrong.
And of course for many of them, you're missing the part where Portugal is an western European country.
The good cuisine/bad cuisines legend looks like the Irish flag. Coincidence? I think not...
I don’t get number 3? Is that a commie joke? Or is it republics vs kingdoms? The funny thing is both the Netherlands and Belgium became a kingdom after a revolution.
I think it’s just a “how likely do people assume the populace is to move against its own government” thing. The French and the former Soviet republics should be obvious, but the Spanish civil war ended way more recently than people think and Italy had a bunch of covid protests. Everywhere else did too, but because Italy was further along it hit the news earlier and became more memorable.
Since it’s modeled on stereotypes, it’s either something loose like that or just the “hot blooded southwestern Europe” idea.
If people knew about that time the Dutch cannibalized an unfit ruler, they’d be considered plenty revolutionary, and if people realized that the Russian peasants were living under serfdom until the 1800s, they’d probably consider them less revolutionary.
