  1. Ok, if you have a white English parent. Then maybe we ought to use the proper terms once again. Which is properly "anglo-black" .... Or "anglo-cantonese".... So... Just like "Anglo-Indians"... Your English ancestors was a Christian. So why worship Catholicism, say ?... If in the search for your identity..... why not find the true fact ?

  2. I don't think that black people wasn't and haven't been assimilated into society. They have ! Naomi Campbell is one of those people. People who used to work in fashion shows or the media came from all backgrounds.

  3. ​ @meme4one : No.. Middle class people writing a play about the old upper class people as well as the post modern second world war period... Upper class people if meaning the Lords and gentries that included billionaires... That still exists in India, which the UK was a part of, the British Empire. And if you look at Middle class people.... Somebody used to say that I'm working class. For a long time, they keep saying that. I didn't get it. Cos I thought that I'm middle class. But if I add India, as part of the colonial lords and gentries with the members that sit and reside in the House of Lords.. then, yes, I look insignificant.. amongst the 1.4 billion people of India... I'm nothing really. And those in their parliament was a part of the old colonial upper class people... But saying that, I do miss singers like Cliff Richards, who was Anglo -Indian.... English and India heritage. Which I didn't know. Most of us, miss that period of life.

  4. I wasn't taught that when I was at school. I also didn't know how Britain was seen as well.. cos at that time, the whole of the colonial Spanish empire, the Dutch empire.... And even the Portuguese empire too. So.... I also didn't know that India... Has a lot of English-Indians... Or Anglo-Indians.... That was a large part of the British empire. Do whoever taught the slavery part. Hasn't crossed over the part and the timeline of the Indian... Or the Dutch Indians...

  5. Good point... I recently just realised that Britain didn't exactly existed until Anglo Saxons, I presume, that is English indigenous lords and gentries were involved in the nerchantibgs.. and they ended in current day countries like India. Married into their system. The Taj systems... As well as part of the Mughal Empire etc etc etc. plus.. apparently, done if the Ming dynasty took. Way before the modern day post second world war slaveries... I think those areas aren't often discussed.
