The British government never colonised me. They colonised YOU. That’s why you’re thick. State education.

Raheem, where were your parents born?

Why does it matter?

It matters to him because ethnicity and race defines an individual to the left. That’s why they hate when blacks vote right wing. They think they still own them.

No, it matters b/c your parents -- in your own words, Raheem -- were indeed "born as subjects" of the British Empire, and neither of us is going to argue that our parents' backgrounds don't have profound impacts on their kids' lives: https://twitter.com/RaheemKassam/status/1268233312381829122 … Don't play dumb.

Sorry do you think subjecthood was a bad thing? The 1948 Nationality Act, which replaced with “citizenship“ was one of the worst things to happen to Britain. Goodness, you’re poorly read.

I do think that subjecthood in a faraway empire in which one lacks representation is, broadly, a bad thing, yes -- do *you* think that "being colonized" was a bad thing, or nah?https://twitter.com/RaheemKassam/status/1268222655670386688 …
