|
| Pretty, ahem, niche opinions, to put it mildly.

|
| How is DHH able to determine nativity as defined by "being
| born and brought up" simply walking the streets of London if
| it has nothing to do with what you look like?
|
| Plus he even links to a Wikipedia page about white vs non-
| white British population in London and uses the non-white
| number. If he wanted to, he could've referred to the foreign-
| born vs local-born numbers too but he did not.
|
| I don't think DHH is racist, but he's so infected by the
| anti-woke mind virus that he's happy to parrot racist talking
| points to "own the libs". Whether that's any better, I'm not
| sure.
|
| It seems like the author has infinite rope to extend to DHH.
| That's not being nice, that's being oblivious.
