I'm British and I see it's wrong because it simply isn't true... We have a ton of spicy foods. The stereotype that we only eat comfort foods like in the meme is old and worn out. Maybe that's all you eat, but that's on you.
The perception of Britain that most Americans have is that of the 40's and 50's. It's hardly surprising that it's completely fucking wrong.
I think it's just Baby Boomers perpetuating the same old ideas in their echo chambers.
We've all been struggling to move onward for like 40 years.
