Read up on it Harry, you may learn something.
How to write utterly turgid shyte, presumably.
Don't think he needs schooling there.

Quite happy to take bets on that one Harry
Czech or Hungarian? Tax you should give clues and make a game out of it.
i can't understand why there is interest in my ethnicity.
According to those purveyors of todays only acceptable orthodoxy, the guardian, those who inquire along the lines of "where do you come from?... no where do you REALLY come from? .... are nothing but racists, slave traders, slum landlords, oil burners and white skinned tory fascists.
Oh, Tax, c’mon, the only people asked about their “original “ provenance in passing conversation are either coons or those with obvious non anglo-saxon surnames.
So, give us a clue and play the game !
i may hold some unpopular but well deserved opinions regarding our thai friends, but i can assure you that it has everything to do with their irresponsibility, stubborness and frivolousness, and nothing whatsoever to do with the colour of their skin or their genetic heritage.Because of the well deserved derision and scorn that will be heaped on you when you play the white mam hating on brown monkeys when in Thailand but then in another thread try to claim you grew up as an ethnic minority in UK facing racism and persecution.
and as a child and young adult growing up in the uk i did face racism, discrimination, persecution and rejection regularly and on more than a few occasions violence. back then in the 60's and 70's people could express both their feelings and prejudices freely, and in case you hadn't noticed, its human nature to discriminate and hate as well as to love, but at least easily knew who were your friends and who were your enemies. it was obvious.
nothing was hidden away behind the blank stares, the simpering smiles and the evasive and deceitful language of todays so called inclusive non discriminatory cancel culture world of victimhood and obfuscation that we now inhabit as we are told what to think as opposed to how to think and forced into being carried along blindly by the current of whatever orthodoxy is legislated for today.
there is more hatred these days than their ever was then, but it is all bottled up now. legislated against, held back, just wait till the cork pops. and it will.
but you willy are a dumb fool and could never be expected to understand. you are apparently in your 50's, so how is it that you have the insight and worldly understanding of a 17 year old?

Well,fook me,thats a surprise tax. I do find myself agreeing with your post. We are probably similar vintage? I was born in scotland but my folks moved to oz when i was 2, in primary school we had no asian kids or other ethic groups and only a couple of aborigines, but racism was very prevelant back then, probably still is? The target of discrimination of other races back then were the greeks, the italians, the slavs etc, who have made a huge contribution to this country, the chinese and afghans had been here before them. After the vietnam war came what became known as BOAT PEOPLE escaping vietnam , those folks have thrived rightly so. But the term boat people was derogatory in my opinion
