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.
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? ๐
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.
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.
English. Its the English. It's always the English. They ruined England!
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.
They kinda are tho. No way to piss off a br*t faster than saying anything critical of their empire
Your average Brit really does not give a shit
You're prob right I was just thinking of British r/196 users
