It’s good old-fashioned xenophobia and is by no means unique to Americans or English-speakers even in the modern era. Anyone who has spent enough time in certain parts of France, Italy, or Belgium has probably encountered it at some point.
It’s everywhere but it is probably most prevalent in countries with a strong nationalist core and, in my opinion, ironically occurs most often in countries that have really fucked around with having an empire in the last century or so.
Or the fact that the car on the left has two sideview mirrors on one side, seemingly at the expense of the car on the right, which we find has been left with none.
I’m telling mom you keep hogging abortion.

Well I certainly apologize to you for any pain I’ve caused and I will make sure to smooth things over with the joke too.
I appreciate this sentiment, but I would not advise paying moderators straight out.
Even the more premium offerings, like supreme court justices, are getting to be pretty reasonably priced and they often run deals, too, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye out and shop around for the best price.
Sure agreed; anyone who has seen Arrested Development has seen this basic dynamic play out a few dozen times, and that’s just one example.

Which is a shame because the joke doesn’t need them to be funny

I don’t know about you all, but I have been posting as an adult human male for a numbers of years now despite being a 4 year old Alaskan Malamute. No one seems to notice or care.
