The Greeks aren't asking a question, they're telling Google that English is a Greek dialect

I doubt that there ist any explicit form of "to be" in Czech language. "Englishmen are sailors" is probably a false translation.

The UK will do anything to stand out, like creating their own country abbreviations instead of using the goddamn ISO.

"NTL" for "The Netherlands", really?

Why do they still wear powdered wigs?

It represents a millstone.

Mathew 18:6 "but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Mat 18:6, ESVS)

THIS is immediately thought about: the Danes are in no position to be criticising ridiculous ceremonial garb. Also, that's exactly the kind of self-assured arrogance I'd expect from a German. Also, ok, SOME Dutch are gorgeous, but the rest look like someone replaced their head with a milk crate.

yo I don't like the UK either and their general traditions and cultures but.. I respect brits. While this one in particular is not that heavy-handed, what's up with all the racism against brits lately in this (and other memes) sub?

Br*tish isn't a race, it's a nationality.

And despising people who happen to live in another country closeby has been one of the most popular European pastimes for millenia.

I guess it's just that they've fucked most nations on Earth at some point of time. I've generally noticed that "racism" against former colonizers like the English, French and citizens of currently powerful countries like Americans is accepted.

I agree that English colonialism was awful. But I'm pretty sure that not all English folk cared about colonisation of other, "underdeveloped" countries. I'm pretty sure most English folk were just trying to survive while their English lords and oligarchs were stealing their food

some of my students are the kids of the significant Indian population in my area, and every so often the subject of England will come up in a lesson. those kids have some harsh words for the english. most of them have living relatives who remember the 40s famines there.

and yes, shit talking people who have societal power is generally more okay than doing the same with people who don't have societal power. "racism" against white americans is way more toothless than racism against, say, black americans.
