Once, on a bus in London, I asked "is this seat taken" to a lady who was sitting at the aisle and the window seat was open. She turned to me, hearing my accent, and said "It's not for Americans". I was taken aback and said, "but I'm Canadian!" and then she said, "oh" and just moved over like it was nothing then.
What has an American ever done to her? Weird to just be a bigot for no real reason, The British government and tourists fucking suck also, tourists are arguably worse.
I mean, bigotry is bad and all expressions of nationalism are brain rot, but most recently Americans have threatened to invade Canada and begin a fascist tide the world may not survive.
So that. Just within the past month.
The way they worded it, the event like it happened a while ago.
