I’m originally from the UK but I’m now in Canada and I hover around some groups of people from the UK online and in person and I swear the Brits are the most whiny people to ever move anywhere. These people genuinely move to places and expect it to be exactly like the UK and when it’s not they shit on the country. Idk if it’s some leftover colonial mindset or something that hasn’t been removed from their psyche?

I’ve heard people complain that there’s no British cream (like the standard whipping cream which exists but is called something different) in stores, British bread, British seasonings, very specific type of curry called the brimingham balti which I don’t think I’ve seen outside of northern England. Amongst many other things and it’s absolutely mind blowing

Genuinely makes me embarassed to be in anyway related to these people. Anyone else get absolutely sick of your old countries people?

    I’m Brazilian, and the average BR living abroad is the worst online - the complains range from the weather, the food, no one liking the same music as them, everyone else is mean, everyone else is dirty, no one knows anything about Brazilian reality shows and the list goes on. Those communities are a total pit of negativity. Also, humour pages from Brazilians abroad have the cringiest content ever.

    I actively avoid them online. In person they’re super chill and I like connecting with them - unless they’re in large group.
