Re: Racism (again)
When I was young I had two friends whose Dads were Polish. It never really dawned on me that they were "foreign" because I'd grown up knowing them and both Dads spoke English very well but with a Polish accent. Three poles moved in next door to us and eventually 2 met and married English girls, the 3rd brought a girl over from Poland who didn't speak a word of English when she arrived and all she could do was smile and nod when we said "Hello" but before long she was chattering away like a real Lancashire lass.
It used to be the English who were too lazy to learn a foreign language.
