The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Just A ThoughtBut how long do you have to have lived in the UK before you can tell someone to "fuck off back to your own country"?
2 generations? 3? 5?
Just wondering 'cos there's some Norse in my blood and a bit of porridge-wog (Scot).
Cheers

Bloody Vikingscoming over here, pillaging our villages. When was the last time you saw a British pillager eh? It's all very well everybody going to university, but we have a skills shortage now in the trades, such as plumbing, bricklaying and pillaging....

Where?I'd thought you'd moved to Australia, hence opening yourself up to more chronologically apt "fuck off back to your own country" comments.
A few months after I moved to Australia I saw a car sticker on the back of someone's ute (think "white van man" but with more sunshine) saying "Fuck off, we're full!" and seriously wondered what type of fucked up hick country I'd moved to.

It's 3 in JapanNo kidding. If you commit a crime punishable by prison and you ain't at least 3rd generation Japanese, they send you back to when your great grandfather came from.

You dark horseI had no idea you were some sort of Chimera, Legless. I don't know, you think you know someone... Part Norse, part Scot - hell of a hybrid!
Still, at least you're not half French...

@Count DraculaBritish pillagers? There've been plenty- just ask the Native Americans.
Good luck in anyone sending me home Japanese style- if they can sort out what country to send me to, I'll be amazed. My ancestors were from all over Western Europe, and there's at least one Native American in there somewhere...

Vive la FranceI have a little French in me, that's why I'm so good at striking.

I find the race that complains about and attests to hating the another country the most whilest living there are the Scots in England and they haven't got a suicide bomber amongst them!
