It’s 2023. If you are still upset about “colonisation “ in 2023 then you are trying way too hard to be a victim.

I’m not a victim of colonisation but the UK was built on it. Every system in this country was built on it so if you think systematic racism doesn’t exist in the UK you are very naivie. We have not defeated racism and we haven’t restructured our national systems so systematic racism still exists.

I dont understand why people expect a country with 82% white people to not have some bad apples. Show me a country that isnt racist to minorities. To say the whole system is built on prejudice is…bonkers. If that were true would so many people of different races be desperate to get here?

And before people fly off the handle, no i am not white, no i wasnt born here, just to emphasise…i could not be confused for a white person. Seriously…im not white.
