Would you believe that there's a racist element to this as well?
That was a great read, thank you for sharing that. My apologies to the man who suffered acute psychological lacerations, I'm about to cause one more by shamelessly stealing that line for my own use (my ancestors were also colonised by the English, so it's okay. I think?).
I like the spirit of the article, but any European who's been to the USA has stories about how strangely pedantic people there can be. Ironically, the USA was the only place I, a white man, suffered xenophobia. It's quite irritating to be thrown in the same bucket as those people due to the colour of my skin. What's that called again?
