I’m sure for some (sad and backwards) people it is a racially motivated position - but for many others I think it has more to do with cultural and geographical proximity.
But then our elected representatives go and fuck up the Middle East… I don’t know.
As an aside, do you know my favourite rugby chant? I’ve heard it at Wales v England rugby games:
“I’d rather wear a turban than a rose, I’d rather wear a turban than a rose, I’d rather wear a turban, I’d rather wear a turban, I’d rather wear a turban than a rose.”
I have a Russian friend who lives in (south) Wales and when he first arrived (10-15 years ago) he couldn’t understand non-white people being Welsh. Years later he realised that a green person born in Newport is already more Welsh than he’ll ever be.
The UK is a very contradictory bastard union that has - so far - somehow managed to stay in one piece.
