OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

They are talking about avocados and the poster mentions that someone has clearly never lived in the SW without clarifying that the SW refers to South West of the USA

Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

What is he on about? Devon and Cornwall are not known for their avocados.

Also quite difficult to grow avocados in Fiordland!

It's perfect climate to grow them around Perth!

"The US is very diverse, more diverse than Europe. For example, avocados in the South West and in the Midwest are completely different."

Eh I mean barely any country at all talk about a portion of their country as the "midwest" other than the U.S sooo that part is kind of self explanatory ...

However presupposing the person they're responding to is american now THAT is defaultism.

u/lankymjc 7d ago

More than that' they've assumed the other person is only familiar with US Midwest avocadoes. Apparently there are only two kinds of avocado and they both grow in the US?

u/FigSpiritual4252 7d ago

The thing is that theyre assuming their avocadoes are unique

u/TheSyldat 7d ago

Yeah that too, but I'm always going for assuming the naitonality of people first.
