Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Racism is definitely one reason, but you have to also put into perspective how big the united states is and what it's like to be around almost exclusively people speaking your language.
A quick Google (I'm not verifying the source I don't care that much) says 75% of the US speaks English as their primary language. If you removed the Spanish speakers, it would be over 90%.
Imagine if every country around you only spoke one language, that's sort of what it's like with the states. You're much less likely to get people from nearby areas who just speak a different language, and so these people aren't used to hearing it. We just aren't close to a diverse set of languages.
That said, there's no reason for them to have this strange paranoia that they're being made fun of in another language (they probably are, since they're losers, to be fair). Nor does it make sense for them to react with such xenophobia.
