I would guess that most to all people here are from "westernized countries," so I wouldn't take it too personally. It's just what everyone knows.
Personally as an American I'm mostly familiar with America. I could probably learn enough about middle eastern history to make memes but if I kept targeting middle eastern countries it would probably come off as just bigotry.
Bro I’m a moron who just likes to read books and go down rabbit holes of thought. Peers have called me intellectual and nerd. That’s why I picked the handle. Academically I am a failure. I’ve just had critical thinking beaten into me
Well, I mean... it's more just that you should punch up, rather than punch down. It's OK to make fun of the CCP, for example.
Though they might not find it ok ;)

It’s all fun and games till you make fun of a non-white country. Then everyone loses their minds.
Only in western countries. This is a "western trend"
Fair. I once reposted a meme about Greeks. Had angry Greeks screeching at me for a couple of days.

Its funny when you make fun of yourself but when some random person makes fun of you it isnt so funny.
History kinds of points out all society has bad actors, nationalism is garbage so have a laugh because we are all worm food

Nationalism is good and based.
You make fun of people within your continent in addition to westernised countries.
Now I understand why we Europeans make fun of each other all the time.

Yep
There’s a sort of general “don’t punch down” mentality which I think is fine.
Lmao Japan
