    I just think “you people” and “these people” have something to them that are… I don’t know. I find them really nasty phrases personally but can’t really describe why. Someone might know what I mean though.

      It’s a very othering way to talk about people, talking about “those people” as if they were A) a monolith and B) different from “our people” and by implication are bad or negative in some way.

      I would give revolut the benefit of the doubt at this point, I don’t think they were trying to imply horrible things about people, probably just a poor choice of words.
