Ok, I’m here to start a fight!
I reject the notion of “non-sea otters”! Enhydra are the weirdos among the Lutrinae, and the default assumption of otter should be Lutra, Lontra, Aonyx etc.

Since I live in Denmark as a non-Dane, I can tell first-hand that these articles tend to ignore/gloss-over that Danes tend to be pretty xenophobic.
It’s so prevalent (and denied by Danes) that in the last few years the term “hygge-racism” was used to describe it.
