      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.

      Yea I have pretty good pronounciation, but certain words I was used to pronouncing differently and they mocked that and kept bringing it up when I went to school in England, was really great being a 16 year old girl constantly afraid I was going to pronounce something wrong 😬

      And the casual racism was so common... like people would ask me if I was polish under their breath to figure out if I’m a bad immigrant.

      We have the same experiences. I was told quite a few times to "fuck off back to Poland".

      One time an old woman at the bus stop just started talking to me how horrible all the immigrants were and I just stood there, no idea what I was supposed to do. It was a pretty illuminating experience tbh.

      Similar things have happened to me. So once I was on the tube and a person working on the tube started talking to me because he realised I was not in a hurry. I started chatting too because it's often interesting to talk to people from different walks of life, etc.

      He immediately started talking about how nobody English (meaning white English) works on the tube any more. He kept going on and on about how Brexit will help these things and that even though he is a Labour supporter that he voted UKIP (this was before referendum).

      And he kept going on and on about how immigrants don't integrate. Joke was on him of course as I am so integrated (changed my accent and all) that he had no idea I was not English/British/WTV.

      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.

          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.
