    Kind of shit that comes to mind when a Brittish person calls me and mine backwards. Like come-on you wanker, you don’t even pretend to have Traveller friends - there are NRA gun ranges and Biker Bars that wouldn’t welcome you.

        Blame antonim for correcting the one who said “Least racist European”. Led me to distill/refine that down to painful and unavoidable truth.

        As much as I hate interacting with the British in general, “this image” is a better reason than most. What, did you think I was pretending to be a good person?

          Why can’t I blame you for your own actions?

          No, I didn’t think you’re pretending to be a good person lol

            By all means, blame me all you want, at least I’m not British.

              What you’ve said makes no sense, but I sense you’re just trying to get a rise out of people so have a good Saturday eve! 👍

              Just to say - the above comment was edited after I replied. I do understand what it says now, after the edits, but before the message was a sort of nonsense paragraph.

                More like staying in character, vs one who refuses to blame the Brittish. Cheerio!!

        Tbh I immediately think if british people when hatred of gypsies is brought up because the british are the most (well, english speaking, and) open about sounding exactly like my racist grandpa talking about “the blacks” like “it’s not the people it’s their culture, they’re all thieves and liars, blah blah blah violent savages.”

        I do also know the words “rohadt cigány” so I know it’s not just the limey monarchists, but they’re still the one that comes to mind before even Hungary, because it’s just so funny to turn it around on any brit trying to be holier than thou about racism as if they aren’t also racist, just because their outgroup of choice “really are the baddies trust me bruv.”

          I get what you’re saying, gypsies have been demonised in the British press for a long long time, but it is pretty mad to call all Brits racist

            Yeeeahh but I only do it in response to comments like “all you americans are racist” or other examples of all too common british nationalism leaking off of their high horse and down on their lowly rebellious colonies.

            And here where I’m laying out why it’s funny to do it lol. It’s not that funny without the context of “oi bruv we’re better than you” beforehand.

              Ah yeah in that case, I agree that’s fair enough 😂 I do find it so dumb the WE’RE FAKKIN INGLISH attitude that a lot of Brits seem to have abroad. Like when English people go to Spain and get pissed off that people speak Spanish, so fuckin stupid 😂

                Lol americans are known for that one too tbf. Though also tbf a lot of people in non-english countries do actually speak english to some degree, but also anyone but the French appreciates if you try to just learn a little of their language.
