Glad to see someone already posted this. I don't know how anyone writes something like "this is what Slovaks are like" and doesn't stop to think about their biases.

I originally thought maybe he was from Slovakia (I have occasionally made jokes or generalisations about Irish people, as I am one) -- but then the footnotes make it clear it's not self deprecation. It's just prejudice.

He is obviously from Slovakia. It says on their about page that their homebase is in Bratislava.

Are you assuming that nobody would be based in Bratislava who is not Slovakian?

Spoiler: you're wrong, the author is Canadian.

But what is his background? Canada is not a melting pot and many keep strong ties cultural backgrounds.

His name is pretty Anglo Saxon, he had a solidly well off Canadian childhood and he has previously lived in Russia, France, and Austria.
