Why don’t people say where they’re from on SW?

I am from the US. Sometimes my country does things that I am ashamed of, but I am still American. Knowing where you’re from makes it easier for others in the SW family to communicate with you… to know what additional information you may require, and what time zone you may be in. I am simply referring to the fact that it’s not listed on many profiles. Most people will tell you if you ask.

Some have had the experience of being bullied by people who have biases against their countries. I’m from the U.S. and very open about it but even I’ve been ragged on because I’m from San Francisco, California, from those who resent its “liberal or progressive” reputation.
So I’ve come to understand why some posters are reticent.

@bijouxbroussard haters will find something to hate but you don't let them shut you down. 🤗

@bijouxbroussard Exactly. I've seen some very anti-UK posts from some US people and vice-versa. 😥
