I chuckled at "Basically Canada" and "White Walkers".

Frankly, they did a pretty good job overall. Certainly much better than we would do on a map of England.

Years ago, a distant British relative of the ex’s stayed with us for a couple of weeks before starting college. She had no interest in going to SF, saying it was the AIDS capital of the world.

London is full of fake English, who face Mecca and go to mosque.

Ask any irish american about St. Patrick. You will get blank stares and stories about snakes and green beer.
The real and true story of St. Patrick is AMAZING!
Here is a hint. St. Patrick was not Irish but was enslaved by them. Except he didn’t want reparations or riots...

Frankly, they did a pretty good job overall. Certainly much better than we would do on a map of England. At this rate in fifty years it will be pretty easy to make a map of the UK by just labeling the whole thing as 'muslim'.

Having lived in Boston for many years, I can vouch for that. It seemed everybody claimed to have an Irish heritage - especially around St. Patrick's Day.
Now I live in southern CT and yes, I have to admit there's not a lot of "diversity" around here when you get to the nicer towns like Greenwich, New Canaan, Ridgefield, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with that. People of all colors are welcome. You just have to have the money. Which means you need to have a really good job (or inheritance).
The rest of the map hits home most of the time. Those British seem to have America's number!

And in 60 years we'll know which partition is Sunni and which is Shi'ite!

Cute map for sure. I especially liked how they described DC: "House of Cards".

The British think Boston is full of fake Irish people, Must be thinking of John Kerry before it was revealed he was a French Jew.

More significantly, the White House & Administration are full of faux Americans ....
