but why is the American flag over an Australian? I mean, it’s not like we Brits didn’t fuck them over too, but some accuracy would be nice
Yeah, and Jesus wasn't from India, Kenya, Ireland, or South Africa! This meme is literally unplayable.
That's the Irish flag I believe. Côte d'Ivoire was a French colony - the clue's in the name. Same colours, different order.
Oops, you're right, I didn't notice the color position!
Easy mistake to make, especially in the context - Britain scooped up quite a few African countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scramble_for_Africa
But they practised on Ireland first... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantations_of_Ireland
