There is of course no such thing as a British personality..... or race..... once people grasp those fundamental truths we might be able to inch forward into the light

I always find that sort of objection odd. Anyone who travels or has families across different countries will spot national personalities. They're not fixed, or homogeneous, they shift about, but they are there.

But still, let's just pretend we're all either perfect or horrific. Sure that'll make for a more appetising debate.

I honestly used to think this, but it turned out I was just complacent because of who I am (white) and who I am friends with (decent people). The last few years have enlightened/educated me in unpleasant ways.

Thank you for this. It’s unpleasant to have to relinquish the view that the world is basically full of kind and decent people who should just get along. A lot of people are never allowed into that particular world and it does take time for those who are to realise this.

I don't think "tolerance" can be a stand in for "not making a fuss", which goes hand in hand with that complacency. Just because the intolerance is kept under wraps most of the time due to our bias towards not making a fuss doesn't mean it isn't there.

That's pretty evident when at every occasion intolerance is normalised or people are given a chance to voice it without consequence with the approval of authority figures the scale of intolerance in this county is shown in all its ugly extent. It doesn't take much.

This tolerance is often subject to conditions which include deference and gratitude.

Agreed. We're too fundamentally tolerant of racism.

We are apathetic to it, because to be otherwise means to expend some intellectual effort. We are lazy because its everyone else's obligation to understand us rather than vice versa.
