Reply to comment by ShEsHy in TIL in the 1980s Monty Python got much of its exposure to the US through PBS, because of CBS censoring parts of "The Holy Grail" in a 1977 broadcast. This upset the comedy troupe, prompting them to withdraw the broadcast rights. by AnthillOmbudsman

That's a pretty good description for about 15%-35% of the country. The eccentric part you see on television and tiktok. But it's as accurate as saying Polish people love LGBTs people because they're accepted in Sweden.

You're unknowingly cutting out the normal people you normally don't see portrayed in our media.

Polish people are super not cool with LGBT. And don’t even mention black folks. Source: I’m second generation American born Polish with a huge racist, homophobic extended family.

Uh yeah. That was the whole point of my analogy. That just because one cultural group in America acts one way, doesn't not mean that completely different region will act the same.

Just because Sweden and Poland are both in Europe doesn't mean they are the same.
