It's funny, because before dealing with Merkins I was always proud to be part of a mongrel race. But of course we are so rooted to our little island, with no qualms about mixed ancestry from 1000 years ago. I forget that other countries (esp Australia, America and France) have people who have left the lands of their birth much more recently. Especially from Africa and the Indian sub-continent.

It passes close to us.

In fact I know a racist joke based on the roads:
Why did the Romans build such straight roads?
So the fucking Pakis couldn't build corner shops.

Hahahahahahahahahaha....

Like they weren't foreigners themselves.
