Uh.... you're English, right?

In the States, I've heard white people say they believe discrimination
against black people is exaggerated by the media, or by social activists,
or by politicians, or by Professional Victims. The truth is that no white
person can really know how much and what kind of discrimination black
people encounter.

Remember the movie "Watermelon Man"? Maybe you could sponsor a Limerick
Man project, in which a Limey goes undercover to see what it's like for
someone who comes from the other side of the Irish Sea.


I lived in London for many years and am still a regular visitor. It is
simply too multicultural and multi-ethnic a city to make any sort of racism
or discrimination seem commonplace.

If you did experience any, it was more the exception than the rule.
