Living in New York for a couple of years
meant that I met many many many incredibly ignorant people. I don't think most were all that stupid just totally ignorant to the fact that there is a whole world that exists out there not just New York City and the rest of the US. So anyhoo, filling my belly at a sunday brunch all you can eat for $8 the rather vute waitress said that she liked my accent and asked where I was from. England I told her. Really she said, What language do they speak there?

And apparently the fact that there are far more blacks proportionately in jail in the US is 'all their own fault as they can't afford decent lawyers'. They weren't racist in the small white picket fence town that I was staying in but the only blacks you saw there were mowing lawns or fixing roofs. The amenities were second to none there too. Drive 2 miles down the road where they hadn't bothered repairing the roads or the school or the library or any other public works and guess who 90% of the population were

Well, they don't speak Mexican in Mexico, American in America or Canadian in Canadia so it's not THAT obvious I suppose.

But the fact that the language is called ENGLISH is a bit of a fucking clue.
