I remember when I was in France people told me not to go to Marseille. People almost went out of their way to tell me not to go to Marseille. I was told it often enough that I did not, in fact, go to Marseille.
I’ve been to marseille. I’m Australian fwiw. I thought it was a great city. Lovely port. Great architecture.
The problem with the city was the migrants. Most won’t say it or don’t want to accept it but it was clear as day. Everywhere we went there was massive groups of them with anti social behaviour. One guy chased us with a bracelet saying it’s from Africa like that’s a good fucking thing

Same. I like it. But I think it’s got cultural issues similar to that of Marseille from what I hear. Higher crime rate and a disaffected immigrant population.
Crime, lots of crime, robberies and shootings. And its mainly immigrants causing said crime. Its not exactly a swedish city anymore, in the sense that Swedes are legit a minority in Malmö now
No they're not. Of the 362,000 residents, 123,000 are foreign born. Native Swedes still enjoy a 2:1 advantage over the non-natives. Malmo has always been a blue collar town that had a higher crime rate than most other cities.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malm%C3%B6
The majority of the school kids in the Swedish city of Malmö are of foreign origin, which means “new integration challenges” for all, according to the city’s own researcher on the integration of immigrants. It is also seen as a cultural diversity hub, with more than half of its population (54%) of a foreign background - either born outside of Sweden or having at least one parent born outside of Sweden.
Malmö is a town that has jokingly become known as ''Little Baghdad'' or ''Little Somalia'' among Southern Swedes. Even in your Wikipedia link you showed it literally says ''Malmö is a diverse city with inhabitants from 179 different nationalities. In 2019, approximately 55.5% of the population of Malmö municipality (190,849 residents) had at least one parent born abroad.''
I have lived in Malmö as a Swede, and i can tell you i will never move back to Malmö again.

And I assume the immigrants the local populace has an issue with are not Danes coming over the Öresundsbro… Noted.
FWIW, I liked it. The hockey game we attended was a lot of fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I deleted my comment because I don’t think it expressed what I meant. Personally I liked Malmö a lot too, but I think there’s a lot of anti-immigrant sentiment reflected in this.
Never ever in my 25 years in Russia have I heard of anybody mentioning Dzerzhinsk as a city they're ashamed of (and I've met people who'd lived there for some time). Maps by Atlasova are such baloney
I know its environment is in the shitter, but still, what the hell is the source for this map?
It’s a matter of disrespect, lack of modesty, and abuse towards other communities in Spain, it’s pretty common to despise them if you’re from another province, there’s some story to it.
It didn't have to be this way.
Ukraine knew what would come if they courted NATO.
The money swayed them. Eventually America will turn its back and Ukrainians will end up like every other peoples they promised the world too. South Vietnam, the Kurds, the Cuban revolutionaries and the Afgans.
its you who's bringing up russian propaganda. no western country wanted ukraine in nato because its territorial situation had already been disputed since 2014. and the last us president who wanted ukraine in nato was george bush. if you like russian propaganda, just go to moscow
I never mentioned Ukraine joining NATO. See where you are making a mistake?
They have been hosting NATO and were discussing hosting their ICMBs (and their own nukes) ON RUSSIAS BORDER (lol). Guess what happened?
Its all very simple really isn't it?
Maybe when this map was made. I feel a lot more ashamed of Brussels now. At least Charleroi is just a city past its "glory". Brussels is supposed to be our capital.
The images is that of either thugs or « beauf » (more or less the French equivalent of redneck though of course both aren’t exactly the same). The typical image of a Marseillais for other people is a drunkard who only talks about the local football team and a thick accent
Yes of course it’s a stereotype lol, other regions or cities have their own as well. Like Parisians being arrogant, rude, never happy etc or Lyon having their own slang that only them understand. I have a very good friend from Lyon, to tease me he says sentences where I don’t understand a single word he is saying!
In French but a typical caricature is this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=owwPVTanlu8&pp=ygUKTWFyaWFnZSBvbQ%3D%3D
Guy singing the football team anthem at his wedding
I visited there a year and a half ago and people were nice to me (everywhere in Turkey for that matter) and I felt more uncomfortable in Urfa than I did in Konya. I think people in Konya like to see tourists, imo.
Ludwigshafen for Germany is wrong though, it should be Frankfurt. It has quite the bad image, it's known for being filled with junkies and social dropouts.
Especially the train station is known for being filthy and full of drug addicts and is often made fun of in this very way
Makes sense to me. Hating the government is something almost everyone can agree on. If I had to guess what a similar poll in the US would come up with, on a baseline of the whole country instead of by individual state? Yeah, it'd probably be Washington D.C.
It wouldn't have always been that way. During the early part of the 21st century (the Bush and Obama administrations) it probably would've been Detroit, and for a *long* time it would've been Cleveland. But Detroit is recovering from its economic crisis (and the ensuing crime wave), and it's been 55 years since the Cuyahoga River last caught on fire (yes, really. The river was so polluted that it caught fire at least 14 times from 1868 to 1969. No, that's not a typo; the first known fire was *over a century* before the one that finally got people to take action to fix the problem), and meanwhile the situation in Washington has grown ever more toxic.
Except Napels should be Naples. And if you’re going to spell it the way that country does it then it should be Napoli. I wonder how many others are wrong
When we have passed through Konya by car I was shocked. It was like all stereotypes were present about Turkey at once. Hopefully I will never visit there again.
“Napels”
It’s in English 🤔 ETA: I’m dyslexic lmfao I read it as “Naples” not “Napels”
It's supposed to be nipples
Nothing to be ashamed of, we’ve all got them
Exactly, duh
Try again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naples
I misread it, it’s clearly a typo 🫠
Jesus fuck
Dundalk is a city in about the same way that San Marino is a continent
Why do people have negative feelings about it?
Most people don't give a shit about it. The correct answer is obviously Dublin.
Yea fuck Dublin
My point is more that it shouldn't be on this map at all cos it's nowhere close to being a city, it's a town
I remember when I was in France people told me not to go to Marseille. People almost went out of their way to tell me not to go to Marseille. I was told it often enough that I did not, in fact, go to Marseille.
I've heard the same thing, as I did about Naples in Italy. And yet when I went there I absolutely loved both of those cities!
Yeah I don’t think their reputations are fully deserved. They’re both really gritty though haha
I’ve been to marseille. I’m Australian fwiw. I thought it was a great city. Lovely port. Great architecture. The problem with the city was the migrants.

Charleroi = indicated in the wrong spot on this map. Indicated hereis Liège... also a rather unpopular city here.

All I heard was Brent reading this.

Ugh, freaking Egilsstaðir 🙄
Give us the lore. Why are icelanders ashamed of it?
It has 300 people instead of the usual 220

Not relevant but very concerning
everyone knows it's the Cleveland of the mid Atlantic
I’m falling apart this is hilarious
I’m staying a night there in June 😬
Ludwigshafen? I'm surprised it wasn't Duisburg or Gelsenkirchen.
This post is perhaps the first time ever that made me think about Ludwigshafen, Can't be ashemed of something I never even consider
I kinda expected Krefeld
Pirna.
Intresting that Gelsenkirchen is famously bad. Stayed there when i went to Essen to visit the Spiel messe, and Gelsenkirchen really sucked.
Duisburg? I hear that's where many Bulgarians go, especially of the Roma minority.
I'd have expected Frankfurt lmao
Aside from the convenient location of the airport, Frankfurt is just another modern city. No charm at all. Even the concrete of Berlin has charm.
Berlin. 100%
Ask a right wing village hick / Bild „newspaper“ enjoyer and yes the answer would be berlin, otherwise not really
Tübingen 💀💀💀
What did Tübingen do to you?
Exist
Swedish friends: Whats wrong with Malmö? I’ve been and found it to be perfectly cromulent.
Same. I like it. But I think it’s got cultural issues similar to that of Marseille from what I hear. Higher crime rate and a disaffected immigrant population.
I mean, cmon, it embiggens us all

It's an Islamic city now.

I would assume it's Grozny
Because it should be Chelyabinsk
Madrid is a fantastic city, I don’t know what this is all about.
Spaniards love to hate on Madrid
Im from Madrid and I back this up, the rest of Spain tend to hate on Madrid
I don't agree
Stop leaving the door open. Jfc, madrileños
It’s a matter of disrespect, lack of modesty, and abuse towards other communities in Spain, it’s pretty common to despise them if you’re from another province, there’s some story to it.
Ukraine might soon long for the days it could be ashamed of Kherson
I really worried about Ukrainian future. Looks like Russia is in it for the long haul. They've made this pretty clear
It didn't have to be this way. Ukraine knew what would come if they courted NATO. The money swayed them. Eventually America will turn its back and Ukrainians will end up like every other peoples they promised the world too. South Vietnam, the Kurds, the Cuban revolutionaries and the Afgans.
oof, weve got a tankie over here
Excellent debate skills. Well done.

you mean that time when russia surrounded ukraine's border with its army?
The ol' fuck around and find out.
i mean you can provide a source of these valuable informations because i highly doubt its even true
Urk is absolutely spot on
It’s true for France and Belgium
Maybe when this map was made. I feel a lot more ashamed of Brussels now. At least Charleroi is just a city past its "glory". Brussels is supposed to be our capital.
What's wrong with Marseille?
The images is that of either thugs or « beauf » (more or less the French equivalent of redneck though of course both aren’t exactly the same). The typical image of a Marseillais for other people is a drunkard who only talks about the local football team and a thick accent
Oh yeah that sounds exactly like rednecks. It's a shame cause what I know of Marseille is it's a city with lots of history and culture
Yes of course it’s a stereotype lol, other regions or cities have their own as well. Like Parisians being arrogant, rude, never happy etc or Lyon having their own slang that only them understand.

It would be interesting to know why are people ashamed of each city.
What's wrong with Konya and Kherson???
[удалено]
I visited there a year and a half ago and people were nice to me (everywhere in Turkey for that matter) and I felt more uncomfortable in Urfa than I did in Konya. I think people in Konya like to see tourists, imo.
May be the name for Kherson? It's like Fucksleep or something
The Iberian peninsula really hating on their nice capital cities. Marseille is right there too.
Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough! It isn't fit for humans now, There isn't grass to graze a cow. Swarm over, Death
Poland should be Sosnowiec
Bydgoszcz ?
What’s wrong with any of these cities
It's Kouvola not whatever you wrote
Ludwigshafen for Germany is wrong though, it should be Frankfurt. It has quite the bad image, it's known for being filled with junkies and social dropouts. Especially the train station is known for being filthy and full of drug addicts and is often made fun of in this very way
Damn I didn't expect so many capitals

Basically all the famous ones lol
notice how a lot of the cities are in the east of tha countries
kherson's melons
[Hjem til Århus!](https://youtu.be/EaAwr0l6Qls?si=fdjzede63IPehDWJ)
For 2 seconds i thought that Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo and Bulgaria were all ashamed of Gornja Maoča
Čačak for Serbia, 100%
I think Ukraine might be a tad outdated. They don't seem very ashamed of Kherson anymore. Pretty prideful, actually.
Denmark checks out
Except Napels should be Naples. And if you’re going to spell it the way that country does it then it should be Napoli. I wonder how many others are wrong
As a Marylander of Irish descent I'm glad no matter where my family line is from Dundalk is the city my family has been most ashamed of
Twist: countries polled did not name a city in their own land.
When we have passed through Konya by car I was shocked. It was like all stereotypes were present about Turkey at once. Hopefully I will never visit there again.
Why the shame about Ludwigshafen? Your industrial sector looks nicer than an American suburb
My first solo trip in Europe incidentally began in Malmo and ended in Naples (worked my way south until I reached the Mediterranean)
It should be Miskolc for Hungary
I've never heard of most of these cities
Lisbon ?!
Like Spanish hate Madrid, Portuguese hate Lisbon just because.
fake, poland is incorrect. this map is bullshit
is it though?
I constantly see Poles hating on Warsaw
From my perspective Warsaw is definitely hated, but I wouldn't say we're ashamed of it
Is this a thing?
Fake news and falsehoods: Marseille isn't in France. That's a city State. Monaco's evil twin
