It's about othering (and also stereotyping), isn't it. Unfortunately it seems to be a sort of human knee jerk reaction to perceived differences, which sadly has awful consequences for individuals and groups of people. Unfortunately also some insecure people bait and bully other people because it makes them feel superior. -
I wasn't referring to Farage. What I said is what I sometimes have to contend with, even TODAY. -
Fair point. Most people can't pronounce Farage (as in rhymes with garage). Perhaps that explains his behaviour as a child as he was upset that people pronounced it in the continental way. Maybe that is the reason we had Brexit. Shame schools didn't take a more pastoral approach in those days. Maybe he just needs a hug. -
Discrimination isn't just through race, gender, age or sexuality. It can and IS because you have a surname that is not British, which they can't pronounce and then they attempt to discriminate until you pull them up. And it still happens in 21st C England, even though but you where born, educated and worked here all your life and speak perfect English. That's discrimination.
