OH I see now! My apologies. He’s doesn’t know how to properly quote on a message board, so it looked to me as if the mess he typed was part of my quote so I didn’t even notice it. This is how it looks to me:

Again, though, that still makes no sense. :joy:

England is in Great Britain. So saying you’re from Great Britain is accurate, too.

Great Britain is even used within the UK to describe England:

I wouldn’t take umbrage if you said to me, “You live in North America.” Georgraphically, that’s true. I wouldn’t automatically assume you were confusing me with Mexicans, Canadians, or Carribean people. You’re just describing the larger land, which is diverse and requires specificity.

Why is there an assumption that if I identify you by the larger island you live on, that I’m also not aware of the specificity? Is this a cultural thing? Like a point of pride in England or something?
Hahaha it’s ok x

For some it’s pride, but I can’t stand that. It’s thinly veiled xenophobia and racism, and the ironic thing is 90% of English people aren’t actually “English”. What with the Romans slaughtering the pagans... but I digress.

For me. It’s about not taking away someone else’s culture or history because parliaments decided to join up 4 different countries hundreds of years ago. And it’s how we are viewed, Americans like to say “British accent”.... and my god it pisses me off.

AH, I gotcha now! I figured it had to be like a historical/cultural reason for the specificity, because I’m just like “BuT ThE mAp SaYs...!” :joy:

I also think here in America, there’s a tendency to generalize the land, so I get it. Thanks for that clarity.

Came back for Tyga dick, got a geography lesson. Another sad wank.

Welp, he hasn’t posted anything and, although you recommended some of us go to Blackplanet, they don’t allow nudity. :pensive:

So buckle up and enjoy this great cultural dialog until Tyga gives us some cawk.

Likewise, when I say Great Britain, I’m not pinpointing you to a specific culture, I’m just recognizing the region. Even the actual data supports this.

(Also, not trying to be rude, just genuinely curious about it lol)
Your apology is accepted

Oh, I make no apologies.

You STILL live in Great Britain. That’s not going to change. Geographical facts are facts:

I just better understand why some desire specification. That’s what happens when you’re sensitive to other cultures. You could learn from that. But you won’t.
