Hi Lucca. Yes I am interested in the UK culture. Its fascinating how people there "200 years after the transportation to the colonies age" can be so stratified and talk so openly talk about class. No cavity searches or UK girls turning me down* but I do have a fascination of the English gents and ladies that I meet like I do with say carnival folk (Carnies), eccentric, interesting and Great Entertainment!

Just search the web for some forums that talk about English expats who are living in Scotland or Wales or Ireland. They talk about open racism towards them (and towards the inhabitants of their new countries). There is a reason for that - The English Crown raped and killed their neighbours for over 800 years.

Can you imagine that Ireland needed to go to war with England in the 1920s to be able to get rid of the English government and control their own country? I find that astounding! And the English thought that Ireland would collapse without them there. That is supreme arrogance at a time when colonialism should have been a thing of the past.

And then if you are "a ginger" (ginger coloured hair) and walk down a street in London it is not uncommon that people will openly insult you for being a Celt. It hasn't happened to me because I dont have ginger hair and don't live there - my family escaped 150 years ago (Thank the Almighty).

The Chav culture is very interesting. It is a small component of the UK but it's there.

Amazing how people who spend 1000s of pounds on Burberry clothing with the distinctive tan coloured tartan cant wear it now. Because every chav in the UK is wearing identical fake Burberry and the rich dont want to be associated with the chavs. This has led to a dramatic decline of Burberry sales. Amazing how a few chavs can bring down (what was once) a fashion empire.

PS * I don't usually date UK women. Once you've dated some elegant slavic girls (who speak more than just 1 language and who dont feel the need to eat food like us Westerners) its hard to go back.

I wouldn't call it a fascination, but a seemingly morbid fetish that needs to be cut out.

And I don't think you can be talking about conquering and killing when the US afterall has been doing the same. The Native Americans weren't for instance a part of a willing genocide.

Interesting to point out that there is a growing movement in the UK and Ireland itself to re-unite under a common banner. As someone who is half Irish and half English, but a British citizen I welcome it!

My girlfriend has ginger hair - and? And the insult for having ginger hair isn't because of being celtic, but because its a different colour from the 'normal' blonde and brunette.

And if it isn't harsh enough for you - Burberry sales have been growing strongly (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5171570.stm) at 19%. You can thank demand in Asia for that.

May I suggest that you stop relying upon Wikipedia and actually make a visit to Britain for once. That and actually do some research before posting.

The chip on your shoulder is obvious and does a great dis-credit to the good nature of the other New Yorker forumers who don't make things up.
