You have no idea how thankful I am not to be subjecting myself to the standard “fucking stupid Americans” diatribe that would normally ensue were I in a UK forum right about now in the Age of Trump. It always goes well beyond what’s merited.
I miss talking with my UK friends in part because they brought me down to earth about a lot of misplaced and misguided perceptions I had as an American about topics such as this. To be fair, those misperceptions cut both ways, but I do think Americans are loathe to admit our disconnect on loads of stuff.

Whilst I accept that the Irish haven’t always been looked fondly upon in television and print media, you must also appreciate the impact of the IRA on the…
Well, slavery was incredibly common throughout history. Most of us probably have some ancestors somewhere back that were “slaves,” especially if you consider serfdom to be slavery, which I do. The way slavery looked in the US is pretty unique though, as compared to historical slavery. It was much harsher, most slaves…
“Europeans don’t face nearly the systemic racism or classism that the descendants of African slaves do”
OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU. I have had it about up to here (indicate point on forehead) with this. At this rate we’ll be revising history to say that all Europeans who worked in ANY service position were slaves. We’re at a socital turning point where now that the fight for equality is back at the forefront, and those…
No I’m not surprised, although the medical dispo I frequent employs a couple of black people. It’s majority white-bros with facial hair and lots of opinions.
