RE: YOU are a FOREIGNER (and so am I)

in #europe5 years ago

well and this actually ignores the fact that even in the land of your birth, you are still a "foreigner" in all likelihood unless you happen to descend from an aboriginal population, who in turn were likely foreigners at one point. DNA analysis has shown us that ancient human populations moved around way more than we thought at one point, and pretty much everyone is a blend of different populations that moved around all over the place in prehistory.

Sort:  

True on a genetic point but I was thinking of the idiots in the UK (and other countries) who divide the world into "them" and "us".
For them, it's not genetic, it's skin colour or language (a disgusting letter went around social media at the weekend from a Norwich tower block about "speak English or leave) or clothing or religion.

We are all "us". The only "them" are those who can't see this.
