That's a question better suited for the "Is this an example?" thread.

And for the record: Scotland and Wales are part of Great Britain, Australia is not British but is part of the Commonwealth, and Ireland is complicated.

Evil Brit seems to be defined more in terms of having a specific accent than just "being British".

It's also a very specific stereotype trope revolving around the idea of Brits as refined, cultured, and smooth; it's a very American cultural stereotype and one that basically only has to do with the English, not the whole Commonwealth or even the general UK/Britain.

^ No. You are mistaken. England <> Britain. Britain is more than just England and does incorporate Wales and Scotland and as far as NI is concerned it is as said above complicated.

How much someone feels British vs English, Scottish or Welsh is of course a very individual thing.
