This is literally about the nationality of a person (being British). Maybe racism isn't the best word, but it's certainly discrimination.

    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.

    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? 🙄

    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.

    British people have such the thinnest of skin. Americans have been the center of European jokes for so long and most of us just nod and agree. But British? Like bro, you guys stopped Scottish independence and when they pass positive trans bills y'all get into a hissy fit and fucking step in and stop it. Maybe stop being such fucking dicks first about and maybe the jokes will stop.

    They literally voted not to themselves.

    yeah the British are famous for not going along with banter and you should definitely take this one dude on lemmy as a representative example of the entire country.

    I… am not British? Why would you think I am??? lmao

    I don't even have anything against the joke; it's (kind of) funny and just a nod about the cultural hate of Scottish people against British people due to their nation's history. I was just telling that if you take it seriously (which it's not supposed to), it is discrimination. (I mean not the joke itself but what happens to the character in the joke.)
