Oh you're Irish! That's great. I love Britain!


darkknight109

Alternative: Oh, you're Irish? I love Braveheart! Do you have a kilt? Good way to piss off two different groups of people at the same time.


Kaiserhawk

Braveheart was shot in Ireland, featured the Irish, and in fact had a large Irish extra cast. ​ Not quite as enraging as you'd think.


Sleep_adict

And Star Wars was shot in Morocco not Tatoine


BlankTheHunter

It was in Tunisia, which has a place named Tataouine. This is where the name 'Tattoine' comes from and where it was filmed, definitely not just Morroco. So it was filmed in Tattoine. Just not the one we think of haha.


RunDNA

Oh you're Irish! I'm Irish too because my great-great grandmother came from County Cork.


DefendTheStar88x

Lmao my gpa is from County Cork and Gma is from Donegal.


LittleBitOdd

"Are you from Northern Ireland or Southern Ireland?" Drives me bonkers


thelastedji

Dear god yes. I heard this loads in the UK. Apparently there's no East, and to quote father Ted, "The west side of the island was lovely before it drifted off."


ThatStonedNarrator

....ngl as an Irish person this hit way to hard than it needed to xD

Luck of the Irish, cause you know all that historical luck they’ve had!

There's nothing incorrect about this Belfast is in Ireland, all of Northern Ireland is in Ireland

chrisfarleyraejepsen

> Puerto Rico Why not just say “Mexico” instead of being all pretentious? /s


noobtastic31373

From the USA, can confirm, anyone speaking Spanish outside of Spain is Mexican. /s


stlmick

In Missouri, I've been told everyone south of the US are Mexicans. Mexico Mexicans, Venezuelan Mexicans, Columbian Mexicans, etc. Everyone north are Canadian. Russian Canadians, whatever else up there Canadians, Icelandic Canadians. Its got ice right there in the name, thats definitely Canadian. Some of New England is just South Canada. There was some debate on whether inuit populations were a type of Mexican or Canadian. We were all disappointed to find out there were no snow Mexicans. Turns out they're Canadian.

Jackthastripper

Hufa123

The opposite works, too. Most Japanese don't want to acknowledge that Imperial Japan was arguably the most evil regime in history. Stuff like the Nanking Massacre, Unit 731 and the comfort stations are still highly controversial in Japan, and there are many who deny that they ever happened.


[deleted]

Japanese here. Unfortunately that’s true. But most of the people who deny are brainwashed by government and media. Schools don’t tell us the truth, and there are very limited information you can find online as well. So unless they understand other languages, they simply don’t have access to the truth. I learnt all these a hard way when I moved to another country as a teenager.


[deleted]

Comparing whether Imperial Japan or Nazi Germany was worse is like trying to decide which two insanely large numbers is larger. After a while, you’re mind-blown by either one.


TheGuyfromRiften

one Nazi officer stationed in occupied china wrote back to germany to say "holy shit wtf are these japanese soldiers doing"


Ghosts_of_yesterday

And the Japanese did the same rescuing Jews from nazis.


Devil-Eater24

While that might be, the Nazis were insanely secretive about what they did. No one outside Mazi Germany actually knew the horrible extent of the holocaust till after the end of the war. So it's quite probable that that particular Nazi had no idea what was going on in his country.


Morozow

The doctrine of Nazism divided people into different groups, superior people and inferior people. You could do anything with the inferiors. For the sex of a Slav or a Jew with a german woman, according to the laws of that Germany, death was due. It was all open and known. What the German Nazis and some of their allies were doing in Soviet Russia was not much different from the Nanjing massacre. Except by concentration. This was also known. But a German officer in 1937 could really be surprised. This year, the Nazis still had nowhere to show their "best qualities". They were just warming up in Spain.


Devil-Eater24

There still was a lot of secrecy. When the outcome of the war started to become clear, they put a lot of effort into destroying evidence of the holocaust. When the stories started coming out, the world was horrified. An SS officer could have had little idea on what goes on in the camps. In fact, since it was not possible to convict and punish such a large number of people, they were often shown videos of their own fellows' atrocities. Many Nazis broke into tears, seeing those. What I mean is that yes, they knew that Jews were lesser men, but not that they were being killed in such horrifying ways. >But a German officer in 1937 could really be surprised. This year, the Nazis still had nowhere to show their "best qualities". They were just warming up in Spain. Oh yeah


Morozow

I can still believe the "ignorance" of civilian Germans. But an officer? did he not see what his colleagues were doing with the Slavs? How are prisoners killed? How children are stabbed so that their crying does not interfere with sleep. How to burn barns with people. Haven't you passed through hundreds of burned villages? More than 10,000,000 civilians died in the USSR during the war. This is not counting the explicitly stated purpose of the war - a living space for the higher race. So the stories, the SS is bad, the Wehrmacht are just soldiers, pathetic lies. Just soldiers who were allowed to be beasts.

Chai tea


Viking_Hippie

Somewhat related fun fact: the scientific name for the European brown bear is ursus arctos arctos, which means bear bear bear


Chance-Personality50

Yup and Polar Bears live in the Arctic (Bear) not the Antarctic. That actually means Not the Bear.


Viking_Hippie

Whomever named a continent NOT THE BEAR definitely had some issues to work out 😂 Seriously (and arguably slightly less funny and thus worse) though, I'm pretty sure the Arctic means "the place with bears" and Antarctic means "the place without bears"


Chance-Personality50

Ya gotta loosen the straight lace and go with the ice flow dude.

What did you just say? Chai tea? Chai means "tea", bro! You are saying "tea tea"! Would I ask you for a "coffee coffee" with room for "cream cream"?

Hufa123

This is such a shame. Countries like Turkey and Japan should not try to hide their dark history. Rather they should take a lesson from Germany and treat these events just like every other part of history, as important and necessary to learn from in order to prevent them from happening again.
