Our powers-that-be can be nasty even to middle-class whites, if they think you're a bit foreign. It's happened to non-english (though 100% white) members of my family. It happened to me when I entered England on a ferry from France driving an Italian-registered car. But at least when the police do Bad Things (which I don't think is all that common), they're pretty open about it. Not like the horror of bureaucracy, let alone the sheer robbery of an institutionally corrupt legal system. -- Not me guv |
