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?

    A lot of Latinos are Catholics and you have to remember that the Southwest was annexed by US from Mexico so there have been Latinos living in Southwestern states like Texas or Arizona since the middle or late 19th century. The culture is deeply ingrained there so it’s pretty easy for new Latinos/Latinas arriving in the US to settle. Not to mention Puerto Ricans (who are born US citizens) are spread all over the US and have been for a very long time, since PR became US territory
