F*ck you, London. F*ck you, Britain. This is not why I moved here.
So less than 20 hrs after Brexit results announced, I have the pleasure of being called "a Paki c*nt in a suit" by a homeless man.

Though last time someone called me a Paki I ended up in A&E, so one must be grateful for small mercies that I'm in an Uber home unscathed

@ASenapaty I don't think my experiences are unique in London; I just talk about them. -
Some years ago, I was told to 'Go back where I came from' on a busy market street in Oxford.

'Sorry, but my PhD has a residency rule-it's a technicality', I replied in my Canadian accent. Confusion ensued.

A patient denied treatment in an Oxford hospital from a doctor and Rhodes scholar b/c she was a woman of colour.
-
And no, the hospital did not stand up for her-- it's own staff.
