About
Nordic / Mediterranean refers to a series of memes in which various races, sub-races, and nationalities, primarily Nordic and Mediterranean, are compared to each other through use of archetypal exploitable images. Said images are often captioned within a Learn The Difference, It Could Save Your Life style format. The trend gained popularity on /pol/ and other 4chan boards in late 2016, with a sub-meme known as Yes Chad / Nordic Gamer spinning off in early August 2019, with the format developing into the Wojak comics meme archetype in 2020.
Origin
On December 2nd, 2016, an anonymous 4chan user posted an image of people of Nordic and Mediterranian subraces meant to demonstrate the superiority of the latter over the former to /pol/ board (shown below).[1] In the following days, the image was reused in a number of threads on the /pol/.[2]

On December 8th, 2016, an anonymous /pol/ user posted a version of the meme which presented both subraces as equal (shown below, left).[5] In the same thread, an anonymous /pol/ user posted a version of the meme captioned "I have your back and you have mine" which promoted unity among the two subraces (shown below, right).[6] In the following days, this version of the meme received notable spread on the website, also being posted to Instagram,[7] Facebook[8] and other platforms.
