A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I get that, I live in the south of my country too, but only the US feels entitled enough to say "the south" and expect the whole world to know where they are.
I guess it adds to the problem that it's very context specific. When you are in your country talking in your mothertongue with someone, you would probably only say "the south" to refer to the south of your country (or another by society predefined south).
And while we are on a mostly English-speaking platform inhabitated by mostly US people, I've heard US people throwing around US specific terms in a lot of different contexts/countries without checking the context they are in.
It's probably the same kind of culture clash that the original video talks about. I've got to admit it is something that can rile me up probably more than it rationally deserves to, if I let it (and I'm sure others too).
Well, being ignored and seen as unimportant often causes anger. I get that, too.
