As a point of interest the Kingdom of Great Britain has not existed for a bit over 200 years. England as an independent kingdom ceased to be just over 300 years ago. And St George was an Armenian who is also revered and celebrated on April 23rd in Catalunya. Just FYI.

with all the above. I think the main problem with racism is "perceived racism". I'm not saying it doesn't exist because we all know racism does, but it's the "perceived" slights that annoy me. Two people are discussing something and one of them says something. Then a 3rd party, not involved in the conversation, tells everyone that one of the people is racist, despite the fact that neither person being spoken to is bothered by what is said!! How does that work?
