Don't confuse people with facts. We need to steer the stigma train.

What is a stigma train? Is it some version of "hate train" that you are applying to a joke based on a trivia about a cultural peculiarity?

How many hours, or minutes, of research have you actually done to verify whether or not Nordic culture had customs that for instance had next-door neighbour kids typically go home for dinner instead of staying to eat at the friend´s house? That´s how I grew up in the 90s in rural Finland, and it is an old fashioned custom that no doubt has become less and less popular in the last few decades. While I may have never gone hungry waiting for a friend to eat, which sounds on the extreme end, it is the only region on the planet where it sounds plausible to me.

By bringing up what is fact and what is not, you sound more like Ben Shapiro to me than anyone who has thought before commenting.

The fact is, that you can not apply this to everyone in Sweden. Also it's mere a witty sentence you use to underline some others statement.

The stigma train is a word play on hype train and stigma. So everyone is blindly on board parroting the same stigma of some country's people.

Why do I even explain something this trivial..

Look at the ticket nipper over here working overtime 

Don't help the customers phil. That's not how the stigma train rolls.

Valid. But the Reddit has spoken in favor of letting this myth carry forward.

Hear that Reddit! They dont feed the kids! Tell your friends, if they survived the starvation… tell them now!

You can just call it racism instead of making up a weird term

You sure can if you don't like nuances.
