    Let’s be fair to the UK. They’ve also always been very fond of killing and supressing the Irish and Scots.

      Extra fun fact. For a while in many places neither group were considered “white”. Black and Muslim is the new Italian or Scott/Irish.

      If there’s one thing that living in that country during the Leave Referendum has taught me, is that Racism in Britain is far more fine grained than merelly skin color: basically there is a prevalent idea amongst mainly the English (also amongst those of the other nations, but it’s less common) that they’re inherently superior to everybody else but Americans.

        Everyone always feels superior to Americans. Including Americans, that’s why they always claim to have Irish ancestry so they’re not too closely related to their fellow Americans
