[an orange character is speaking, smugly]
I vote far right because I hate immigrants who come to our country and do not adopt its culture

[from their brain, a thought bubble emerges which shows a sunny thai landscape, in which orange is chilling on a deck chair by the sea, drinking coconut juice and smiling, clearly enjoying life]
I dream of having enough money to move/retire to Thailand and never learn the language or adopt the culture

    That reminds me of the (apparently real) complaint by a British couple vacationing in Spain, who were outraged that nobody had told them so many people would be speaking Spanish. 😀

      Or the British expats suddenly unable to stay in European countries after brexit and not accepting it was because of those who voted to leave the EU

        OMG the ones that voted for Brexit despite having a retirement home in the EU and then got kicked out for not paying taxes were hilarious!

        “What do you mean we need a visa? THIS IS NOT THE BREXIT I VOTED FOR!!!”

      I believe it.

      I worked with an Englishman who has lived in the Netherlands for more than 20 years without learning Dutch.

      We had a work trip to Madrid, and he went the weekend beforehand for a short vacation. I ran into him on Sunday night and asked him how it went. He said it was terrible, because he’s a vegetarian and couldn’t eat anything because nobody spoke English. He didn’t know what to order or how to ask if something was vegetarian. He was outraged that nobody spoke English. In Madrid. The capital of Spain. 🙈

        On behalf of the rest of the country that has more brain cells than a used tea bag, we’d like to issue an apology to Madrid, the Netherlands, and yourself for his ignorance.

        There’s some of us here who are trying their best to educate these people but it feels like trying to hold water in a sieve.
