I would be interested to know whether you have visited Britain, and if so, where you went? I have recently moved from Manchester (big, diverse population) to Somerset (rural, still largely agricultural, predominantly white) I don’t feel that the general culture is anything like as racist or generally discriminates to the same extent as in the US. British children are taught about other cultures (we learned about Diwali, Eid, Yom Kippur and other religious festivals as well as Christian festivals, even in a school which had no non-white pupils at all. Who said ‘all these people are stupid?’ and in what context? Yes, we have the National Front – you have the Ku Klux Klan – neither is typical of the nation as a whole.
