Americans when they find out they're 1/823th of a footballfield finnish: "OMG I AM SO DIVERSE! AND NOW A CERTIFIED MINORITY" Americans when they try to do finnish things: "Yeah no this is fake, its not possible for anyone to survive in 230f"
Basing your preferred genetic heritage on how much you like a TV show. Smh.
American Italians have embraced the pop culture caricature of themselves and become it.
Americans are all saying they’re proud of their country and then say shit like this unironically.
Makes sense though because in America, everyone is American regardless of background, race, etc etc etc so people, in their search for ways to differentiate themselves from others, latch on to their heritage.
Me after I found out I'm 1% South American
My brother got a DNA test and found we're mostly descended from Nordic people and not Germanic/Irish as we were told as kids. So naturally, I am now a Vikings fan.
When you learn that Vikings are also Germanic:
There is no escaping it, Gustav
And the Vikings invaded the isles … so, they may still well be Germanic and Irish. Just sorta.
Without the edit this post would have been perfect 😂
American with 7% Irish ancestry on the Shankill Road lecturing the locals on why they should have a united Ireland energy.
Melfi's hamburger would be pissed.
But genuinely, pretty tasteless. (the post in the screenshot, not necessarily Jennifer Melfi's partner)
damn didn't realize yall would be so hostile
same feeling as: "wow very judgemental community here" lmao
lmao I wonder if he's one of those guys who believes it's gay to wipe your ass
I still remember when someone came to /r/Wicked_Edge, a subreddit about straight razors, and asked to compare two disposable brands. People were as kind as possible.
If he is mostly German good chance that his Italian roots are from the Italian Alps where they speak German.
There weren't enough hand emojis 👋👌, mama Mia's, or references to spaghetti. No wonder he didn't fit in.
You missed the main one🤌🤌ma che cazzo
Maybe if you're mostly German, you learn to avoid wild hand gestures from a young age. Just to be safe, you know?
This looks like a great way to troll communities. Might do this in the France sub
Tbh, I would be much more triggered by the fact that you gave your DNA to a private company for fun, than any "oui oui baguette" jokes
Can lean into that too
Now I kinda want to know which country communities would react most positively and negatively to such a post.
UK here so we get multiple choices but I think all of them would laugh at you. Northern Irish you should probably be careful with.
Well trolling UK communities is too easy so it would be like cheating
Omg I love England! I went last year and stayed in Edinburgh for a week! Going back to #GB next year, this time going to Belfast!
Mine would be "I'm from Argentina but I found out I'm 10% British! 🤗 This means the Falklands can be BOTH British and Argentinian amd everybody wins!!! Or should I call them the Falkinas 😆"
Sit back and wait for the firing squad
I'm French, ain't no way a french community doesn't fall for it, this might be the easiest one to troll.
Ehhh qubecois are even easier to trigger than the french
Terminally online Québecois will fucking light their keyboards on fire with friction alone. Absolutely wild over here.
IRL I love the energy though: government proposed a modest increase to tuition so over 100k people protested for days.
Compared to anglo Canadians who just take whatever they get, I appreciate the Québecois.
IDK try pointing out to a French person "I know nothing about France but why should that matter after all it is just France. It's not an important place like America or The UK" they love it.
When I came to france, there were regular errors about my capital, brands etc from my home country (Sweden), which is okay, especially in the pre Internet times. But there were these arrogant people brushing it off like it doesn't matter because it's just some small country or whatever. My live with them was "no problem mate, we all do these kind if errors, like what's the capital of France, Berlin, Paris, Madrid? Who cares!?"
That worked surprisingly well, I'm just baffled no one had a brain aneurysm. Some were so angry.
I remember from my pub roaming days in paris, stumbling upon a depressed US guy next to the opera. He told me that he had recently been promoted by his firm in bumfuck in some flyover state and that it was his first time out of the US.
And for some reason he thought everyone would be in awe of an actual US guy. Someone who actually had a car and electricity! But instead, nobody gave a fuck. So there he was, drowning his illusions in a pint.
By far my most surreal meeting in a bar.
Hon hon hon fellow baguette connoisseurs!
I brew my own alcohol, the stuff I call wine would probably offend the French.
"or should I say us 🇮🇹"
"Sopranos was my favorite show"
Oof. Imagine saying "roots was my favorite show so it makes sense my great great great grandparent was black"
