        I wish just once one of these guys would just admit that *they* really do not like all these brown people hanging around rather than continue appealing to "the English psyche" or "human nature" or whatever other deflective moves they keep making.

        Yeah, “immigrants” means “non-whites” to Sully.

        Even if you allow that, what does Sully make of all the South Asians in London? Long before I first visited (and that was almost 20 years ago itself), I knew that London was famous for Indian food.

        By your logic, europeans wanted to be Indians bad and therefore went around looking for India. Sad!
