"Cultures" are always in flux. Change is the only constant. Take that most iconic family of England, the Royal Family. They were fucking German, until 1917, when King George V changed the name of the royal house from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, to the House of Windsor, because WW1. Of course, that Royal lineage dates from the Norman Conquest of England, by an army of army of Norman, Breton, Flemish, and French soldiers .There is nothing to see as there is nothing inherently racist about observing that London is no longer culturally English.
So English!
Our own cultural history encompasses owning people as property, not allowing woman to vote, and declaring that we "own" the entire Western Hemisphere under the Monroe Doctrine. Kind of makes you all wet with nostalgia, doesn't it?
So, yeah, his statement has strong tones of racism. Only a dyed in the wool fellow racist would be blind to that fact.
Really? I'm beginning to suspect you're not sufficiently Anglo-Saxon white. Please give me a moment to "lament" that.I don’t know what that expression [take the piss] means.
