I said it's interesting you think immigrants don't integrate... the only immigrants I know who don't integrate are my dad in Cyprus. He's been living there more than half his life, more than 30 years, and he can't speak very good Cypriot Greek and he hasn't bothered ever applying

for a passport nor doing anything "stereotypically culturally Cypriot". He stared at me. He went, with a disgusting look in his eye, you're not English are you? I said yes, I'm not and I am and I'm not, bye Felicio.

I'm 100% Cypriot BTW FWIW.

My dad is originally from Sheffield though and is white British. But I was born and grew up in Cyprus, went to a government-run school, etc. I am also 100% British too.

Yea I also “passed” as white English so people would often feel comfortable being racist and xenophobic around me, I’ve rarely felt so unsafe, but it’s interesting to hear that this doesn’t seem to be such a rare thing to happen.

And ofc some of my favourite people I met and who were the kindest to me were Polish immigrants
