       RE: https://mastodon.social/@fesshole/116650063381658444I used to work at a botanic garden, and someone wrote in to complain about the number of non white staff in the cafe and how it should stop serving so much foreign food and serve "proper English food like quiche". I know this because the letter was circulated around the entire organisation to be universally mocked.I miss the days when this sort of thing was treated with derision instead of called "legitimate concerns"#UKracismRT: https://mastodon.social/users/fesshole/statuses/116650063381658444

       @cstross @afewbugs hard to tell, these people are so dumb it could have been a true quote 😅. I heard a tourist once, complaining about too many black people in the French West Indies…

       @otolithe @afewbugs The classic around here was the American tourist visiting Edinburgh who remarked, "why did they build the castle so close to the railway station?"
