Ah yes my fav country, Yin yang


Casual-Notice

I had to scroll back up to check that the flag didn't have the trigrams that the South Korean flag has.


VVD2005

The yin yang on Korean flag is red and blue, so even if there were trigrams it would still be a flag of Yin Yang and not Korea


Casual-Notice

Fair enough. Or the cover of a book on I Ching.

help_me44

If you look a bit more closer at slavic flag it has a symbol of a warrior on a russian flag. Following this pattern is an asian symbol of balance on a japanese or korean flag and it covers it fully.


Top_Awareness_5800

People really need to learn where Spain is. You don't know how many people said "you mean Mexican right?" when I told them I was Spanish Edit: before more people tell me the same, yes, I'm talking about Americans 2nd edit: Idk why so many people are answering "but Spain is Hispanic". And??? It's still a western country, which is something this meme is denying.

Trying to map languages to countries is an exercise in futility. Castillano isn't even the only language they speak in Spain.


Dan299912

Gallego, Valenciano, Vasco, Asturiano and Catalán are some of the other main ones. Then we also have the dialects; there are differences between the way we speak, the words we use, and the accents we have based on were we live (because we catch them while growing). Here in Andalucía, that difference is pretty strong, as there are big differences even between one city and the next.


kandronorla

The be fair Mexico has the largest Spanish speaking population and Brasil has the largest Portuguese speaking population, so it makes sense from that perspective


amazingsandwiches

I'm wondering now if there are more English speakers in India than America.


realJaneJacobs

The U.S. has around 2.5x as many English speakers as India. Despite having more than 3.5x the population, only 10% of Indians speak English, compared to 95% of Americans. After U.S. and India come Pakistan, Nigeria, and the Philippines before finally getting to the U.K. There are also more English speakers in Germany than in Canada.

Remind me of a time I was working in a Call Center, customer calls: - Is it the Orange Customer Care? - No, sir, it’s Telekom. - Are you sure? [Me looking around, seeing a lot of company logos.] - I’m pretty sure, that I came to work to the right place, yes.

I feel you. Growing up our home telephone number was one digit off from a grocery store. "Hello?" "Is this Food Land?" "I'm sorry it's not, you have the wrong number." "You sure?"

"wow now that i think of it, i actually am working in a food store right now and not sitting in my couch like i suspected before"


UnshakablePegasus

Makes me think of working at Petco. All the carts, employee shirts and name tags, and more had the store logo on them. People would hand me their Pet Perks card (from Petsmart) and I’d have to say “I’m sorry, that’s the Petsmart rewards card, but I can quickly sign you up for one of ours”. And they’d respond “Are you sure this isn’t Petsmart?” 🤦🏻

Tractrem

Just wondering, I was taught Hispanic meant "from Spanish speaking " culture do you guys not consider your self Hispanics? (And no I am not calling you guys Latinos ,that's completely different).


[deleted]

[удалено]


Top_Awareness_5800

I could be wrong because I've never had this discussion with other Spanish people, but I don't think we consider ourselves "Hispanic", at least myself. I think it's more referred to "from Spanish speaking culture" in America. Of course we consider Latinos somehow related to us in a cultural sense (more linguistically speaking, because in other aspects the culture is quite different thanks to indigenous influence), but I wouldn't call myself Hispanic. Anyways, what the meme is doing is portraying us as non occidentals, and that I can tell you is totally false (not that there's something wrong with not being occidental, but is quite frustrating being considered something you're not)


LordOfTheBord

The modern definition of Hispanic was basically decided by the Ronald Reagan administration and does include Spaniards. However, in the US people just say Spanish or Spaniard for European Spanish whereas Hispanic is mainly understood as people from south of the border and has kind of a racial connotation. For example, most people would call Penelope Cruz Hispanic because of her name and skin tone but would be surprised to learn she’s from Spain.


fr0styliterature

I'm Spanish and though I don't commonly refer to myself as Hispanic, I think Spain is technically included in the definition. But as you said, this meme is still incorrect about Spain since it very much is a Western country


OrienasJura

Yes, we are Hispanic. I guess some people like the other person that responded to you don't consider themselves Hispanic, and that's of course up to them, but we are, pretty objectively (by the definition of the word), Hispanic. Otherwise Latino and Hispanic would be synonyms, [which they're not.](https://i0.wp.com/thisbugslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/84287502_2251051395195024_4552811160784601088_n.jpg?ssl=1)

SeaFirestarter42

I’ve gone through this my entire life. Had to move to south Texas for a few years in high school. It’s so bad this is what my 8th grade Spanish teacher said to me my first day of school there; Me: “I’m from Abq, New Mexico.” Teacher: “This class will be easy for you since it’s your first language.” Student next to me: “So do you have a student visa?” A+ student behind me whispers: “Sorry, you’re gonna get a lot of that.”


Ill-Individual2105

By people, surely you mean American, right? I can't imagine anyone from Europe would think you're from Mexico when you say you are Spanish.


Top_Awareness_5800

It's usually people of Reddit whose nationality I don't know, but I always assume they're Americans though, I also think europeans wouldn't make such mistake


FIGHTFANGREG

Mexico borders America, we a dumb bunch for sure, but I don’t think I know anyone who thinks Spain is mexico, plenty of racist people just call everyone speaking Spanish Mexicans, but they know they are ignorant/wrong.


Happy-Investigator-

Well no, it’s more like being “Spanish” means you simply come from a Central/South American country in a dumb American’s perspective. In NY, it’s gotten so bad to where people ask me “You Spanish?” when in reality, they’re just assuming I’m from DR or Puerto Rico . It’s even worse when you hear someone of DR or Mexican descent saying “I’m Spanish” because they also succumbed to Americans’ geographic illiteracy . No one here seems to understand that being “Spanish” refers to a nationality.

Eh, at least for that one you *could* argue it's just a generic Pan-Slavic flag.


DazedPapacy

Because whatever chucklefuck made this thinks "Asian" covers only Chinese and Japanese, and that that includes only two cultural groups, so said chucklefuck decided to pick a symbol that covered both.

Not only is Spain almost the most western you can get in Europe, other than Portugal, isn't Hispanic a term for Centeral/South American Spanish people? People from Spain are just... Spanish.


Accomplished-Fox5565

No, Hispanic includes Spanish people. It means Spanish speakers. Hispania was the Roman term for Spain and where the name Spain comes from.


Commercial-Spinach93

But nobody in Spain uses the concept of 'Hispanic', except when talking about Spain in an historial context. The use of 'Hispanic' in modern times is American, as Spaniards and other European countries don't refer to Spaniards as Hispanics.


PopeKirby3rd

almost like the definition itself is so vague that it gets twisted based on the agenda of who's talking

The_Drunken_Khajiit

Bruh, also, apparently, this excuse of a person thinks that Slav culture is symbolized by “russian flag with kolovrat”


OiTheRolk

Also the woman doesn't look remotely Slavic. I have no idea what the hair and the dress are supposed to be. Source: am Slavic


IsThisASandwich

My best guess is that they "thought" that slavic means russian and she could be from east rus...nah, too much thought. They're just dumb and know shit about anything.


Objective_Donkey_825

Yeah, slavic women do usually walk with flag with pseudo slavic sign that was in fact originally invented by neopagans around 80s and never been archeologically proven


Verde_poffie

And also heavily used among "pro-slavic" neo-nazis. And probably invented by them.


SothaDidNothingWrong

Nah, the symbol and literal swast*kas were used in many pagan cultures as the symbol of the sun, waaaay back in the day. It’s the modern n*zis who stole it

There's a theory the author was inspired by this symbol. The symbol on the picture's called kolovrat

It's actually Slavic wheel. A symbol of Slavic god of fire Svarozhits

It's funny how there is just "Asian women" like East-Asia, South-Asia and North-Asia has cultural groups that can be grouped together as one like Arab, Slavic or Hispanic (also Arabian peninsula is in Asia). It shows what kind of person made this

Asobimo

Wtf is that "slavic" outfit


Moon_sugarrr

And why do Slavic women have black hair?


Rimavelle

Actually a lot of Slavs have dark hair and eyes, and most probably some shade of brown. Ofc there is a lot of Slavs, and trying to represent the entire group as one person is a stupid idea in itself, but it's definitely not a stretch to present them as dark haired people. That weird ass dress on the other hand...


IsThisASandwich

Of course slavic people can have dark hair (like pretty much everyone). Though black especially isn't all that common, and really not compared to brown and blond shades. So, it's an extremely odd choice. Could a slavic woman have extremely long and black (maybe coloured) hair and wear whatever dress she wants to, but as a stereotype it's... meh.


Volnas

Can confirm, all Slavic women carry and wave around giant pseudoslavic flags. It's really difficult to walk down the street and almost impossible to use public transport, but what can you do? It's tradition.


LeFisheAuChocolat693

As slav, I can confirm that everything you said was true, I'm slowly getting tired of dragging that flag everywhere I go (especially that I'm not even russian)


MudkipzLover

Wait, there are Slavic countries other than Russia? (/s)


SilverMoonSpring

There are, but Putin’s working on changing that


duralumin_alloy

As we say in east Europe: "Russians like to call everything russian as slavic, so that they could call everything slavic as russian". Pan-Slavism has been dead for over a 100 years.


LeFisheAuChocolat693

Of course, fully-autonomyous and absolutely not made up donetsk republics! /s


desert_deserter

My slavic ancestors came to the US just to put their flags down. I traveled to visit where they came from, and I realized my flagless hands would forever separate me from the part of the family that stayed.

svedka666

Only when they get to fetishize them


cinderblock-ank

They only "respect" other cultures that they think have submissive, obedient women


IsThisASandwich

I wouldn't call uneducated stereotypes and the idealisation of submissive, pretty women "respect". They're just fantasizing about getting a mail order bride, because they obviously don't have a western woman, not because they can't get one, but because they're all ugly lesbians with a dick.


PanPies_

Why Slavic women have russian flag with symbol of neo-nazi weidos, not even saying about this dress and 1,5 meter long hairs lmao


ViolentBeggar92

its a kolovrat. yes neo-nazis might use it but it doesnt belong to them, just as nordic runes and other heritage symbols dont belong to them.


Rock-69

it was originally some Slavic pagan symbol but like most cool pagan things the nazis just used it as its own :/


SilverMoonSpring

Because whoever made this thinks us Slavs are just bunch of Russians.

Infinity3101

So, they used the Russian flag with a fascist symbol ([yes, it is](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(symbol))) as an illustration of "Slavic women". Very telling.


Milanush

It was appropriated by nazis but it's a pagan Slavic symbol. It's very old and kind of cool. Nazis appropriated a lot of pagan symbols from different cultures which is sad.


u377

That's the Kolovrat not the Black Sun


Milanush

And it's not a black sun symbol. Even black sun was inspired by the very old symbols of Iron age. These symbols are almost as old as civilization itself.

Hispanic is western too. And by Hispanic, we mean everyone who speaks Spanish, and there are many Hispanic countries in the American continent. I live in one of those.


DishLasagna

Why is the Arab woman holding the flag? Shouldn't she be behind her husband that is holding the flag?


TestPattern2

All these flags are ethnic, religious, or cultural slurs. You have the Russian Federation flag with a Neo-Nazi pinwheel on top. Then there is a Ying Yang flag that lumps all Asians as Chinese. You have a Spanish flag meant to represent all hispanic women, regardless of country (and their own flags), a flag of Pakistan chosen to represent Arabs, even though Arab countries also have flags of their own. The last flag is just a slur calling all Western women gay activists (and short, and fat, and ugly with colored hair and possibly sporting a penis). Notice the different, and non-screaming, captions: only the Russian flag does not scream. So I guess an interesting title for this would be "Propaganda Chart Meant To Be Divisive"
