    Fucking discrimination! Replace the “a bird” with “black” and reflect on your bigotry.

    My favorite is the red-crested cardinal(Paroaria coronata) but I know their chances of becoming Pope are slim because it’s very unlikely they’d elect two South-American cardinals in a row.

      Bothered me as well so I went and looked it up, because sometimes animals I associate with North America are present in Eurasia too.

      Northern cardinal range:

      So definitely a North America exclusive, and it seems all cardinals, the Cardinalidae family, are New World birds. Stupid meme made me go learn something.

      (Also “desert cardinal – Hungary” should have tipped us all off that the country assignments were random)
