One of the most hurtful things they said to me was "we aren't racist towards you because you have a British passport". They thought it was a hilarious joke.

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
