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.

My mum is 100% ethnically Cypriot BTW with very obviously Cypriot/Laventine skin and facial features. The way people treat her in the UK, around the world, makes me cry sometimes.
