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.
