Yeah, I mean, I'm French and even I can recognize the accent of the characters.

I want to see your reaction to someone outside the UK asking you what part of England your accent is from.

Haha my wife's family are Scottish and they are f****n white as 80s dog s**t mate, and allergic to the sun.

I'm also Scottish and this riled me a little! Quickly came here to make sure someone stood up!

You beat me to it.

My family is very white. Very. Grandad’s from Britain, his mum from Ireland, my dad’s family either Ireland or Scotland, not really sure, we’re kinda confused about his, think some Australian Aboriginal in there (I’m Australian, mum and dad both have a lot of welsh. My family is so f*cking pale and everyone thinks it’s funny bc everyone in my year can tan but we can’t, we just burn and my friend when we met went was like “and I thought I was pale” (her family’s from Germany). Pretty pasty people in the UK and Europe. That’s bc the distance between them and the equator. Skin colour is literally based off off how their body adapted so they could absorb sunlight and not have too much vitamin D or too little. Further away, paler so you can absorb lots of vitamin D or else you don’t got much now do ya? Closer to the equator, your body went “bruh why tf would I be white? Too much vitamin D!”

why do you follow the narrative that your skin color is a negative thing? whites have so much self-loathing. no other race puts down their own color. lose the negativity, and don't stand for it if it's directed at you. wake up.

Thank you. This is the same with Africans and people who are from north America. I am from Nigeria and my ancestors were not slaves. I have never received any racial prejudice in my life but I console anyone who has. I can't really relate more to the stereotypical black person in America other than our skin being the same.

THIS so much! "White" and "western" in US media are pretty much equated with the USA only or very specific European countries at best. Just England mostly. Everyone else gets made fun of as a cliché or stereotype. Oh look, that funny French accent/ evil German/ evil Russian/pasta Italian or whatever! With an undertone of "aren't those people weird, haha!" There are so many versions of Santa Claus in Europe alone for example, yet you only ever see the "reindeers and chimney" kind from England and by extension the US in media.

I find that so sad, I don’t know much about living in Eastern Europe, but most people I know who come from there are really so nice and kind. Also, everyone just calls them polish, whether they’re from Ukraine or Serbia, so I’m doing my best to rememer exactly where they’re from

Definitely! There are lots of mexican centric movies and although they're pretty cool, i cant relate in a cultural way although we're both latino. The food, music, words etc are different compared to other latin countries. so when it comes to relating to movies, its more about a character's situation or personality i relate to rather than their skin color/background.

I agree, from a Persian American perspective. Disney has been trash for a long time. If f*****g JASMINE and ALADDIN are supposed to represent me, then I’m just fine having nothing. F*****g caricature.

I think the Eastern Europeans get it the worst in media but they never seem to protest. It's always Albanians as sex traffickers, Russians as arms dealers, Serbs as war criminals, Romanians as thieves, etc. It seems they're not the right type of "white" and are still too strange and ethnic, and I think the last bastion of "allowed" racism in Hollywood

Well said!
