      Maybe it’s a culture thing, but that comes across as a wildly patronising comment from someone who just wandered into a conversation about “not the US” and started talking about the US.

          Yeah as someone that’s a Yankee to both of them, it’s rude as hell here to be an ass in response to a polite correction to something you probably should have noticed.

        It was meant to be a tongue-and-cheek confirmation that, yes, I was joking about the American south.

        It didn’t land well.

          Ok, then I’m sorry.

          There’s a thing about any conversation online being interrupted by Americans making it about themselves and saying some incredibly patronising things… And that phrase is really only ever heard as that here.

          But I see this might not be the case, so I apologise for my hostility there.
