They don't deserve it even if there could be some truth in it, why decide to do that? And it obviously hurt people from the thumbs down on the video. Not to mention, in this day and age where identity is so important, really bad timing to do that commercial facts dont care about your feeling. stay mad. Did I hear that parroting from some group already? Hmmm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message is: get over yourself, your value does not come from your culture. You don't get to take credit for things you didn't do. It's really an argument against white nationalism and a call to appreciate what we inherit without feeling like we need to "own" it. Like, stop worrying about being better than others and enjoy your life. 11 minutes ago, Serial Chiller said: lmao are we watching the same ad? Their message is clear as day: travel- because you can learn more about the things around you and expand your world, by bringing bits of culture back home from far and away and grow them in your soil. Typical case of insecure nationalists subconsciously projecting their embarrassment of their invading and marauding ancestors. That's obviously not how most people intepret it. And it's not only nationalists who dislike it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go make your own accomplishments. You didn't do anything to be (Swedish, Norweigan, Finnish, Danish). Or American, Canadian, Japanese, whatever. So enjoy it, don't take it for granted and enjoy life.

audrey horne 1,180 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I don't see the problem in acknowledging multiple heritages when every european empire plundered the whole planet, it just feels right. Also f*ck patriotism. But I see what they did there, trying to outwoke "flygskam" movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Tookie 10,546 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Let them self destruct. This isn’t being “woke”. It’s just spouting nonsense to pander to a small radical group of people, while the rest of the world doesn’t actually care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me cutting a black person from any form of media looks a bit much like racial erasure. But that is not what patriotism is. Hate those who use their national pride as an excuse to hate on others, don't hate people who just love their country. I believe the reason why they cut him out, was because people found it so ridiculous to have a black person talk about "OUR viking ancestors". It's a bit like if I, a white person, talked about "my" ancestor Kunta Kinte. After all, the new video was done as a kind of damage control, so it makes sense to cut out the parts people hated.
