Western Europe be like
Dialogue
Overview
This is a 3-panel satirical meme. The top panel features an elderly white Western European man standing in a town square with a speech bubble that reads 'I don't understand the youth nowadays...'. The bottom two panels show two young Arab men sitting on a street having a conversation in untranslated Arabic. The joke plays on the perceived growing linguistic and cultural divide between older native Western European populations and younger immigrant communities in the region, as the older man cannot understand the language the young people are speaking.
Origin notes
The meme was distributed via an RSS feed from 9GAG, with the original posted title 'Western Europe be like'. It is a derivative work that edits existing stock photographs, adding custom speech bubbles to create the satirical commentary on demographic and cultural changes in modern Western Europe.
