    Why do I get the feeling she is one of those English clasists that is also a racists who doesn’t like people that have the “Wrong accent” or name?

      Yeah that’s what I mean. They used to be her neighbors, her equals, as she came from being really poor. But now she sits in a very high white throne and people of colour are beneath her.

        Oh no I meant she’d be racist to Scots and Irish, but I’m not familiar with English racism particularly well. But I guess she would also be racist against people of color.

        Fun fact: I was once called a mutt by an English woman in the high desert here in California. I don’t know if it was my bastardized accent or my looks but regardless I flipped her off.
