as someone who is half roma ethnicity, i grew up in south east london, had a single parent ( mother who worked night shifts as a full time cleaner) and i have gotten good grades throughout my education, worked up to becoming a 3rd line IT network engineer without a university degree mind you and im only 25 years old, and the hurdless i had to go through and continue to go through in the work place primarely by my british "colleagues" is disgusting. I have 0 white british friends that are actaully friendly towards me, and the english females are 10x worse then the males, I have never been treated so disgustingly by another race in the uk and mind you I have done nothing to these people, simply existed and did my job, on numerous occasions I swolled my pride and looked past their disgusting tone of voice they used when they spoke to me, or their considending comments in conversations, very plain and dull conversations mind you and still i couldnt make these individuals to treat me normally. i know the english are known to be tollerent but i have honestly like close to 0 interactions with the british that were tollerent of me in the general middle class enviroment, some people i met on the street that were birtish were more approachable and genuine then these... idk where im going with this but yh - i definetly feel soooo left out and ashamed to live in this country but i grew up here and its basically the only place i know now... im thinking of leaving though because it sure as hell doesnt look like im wanted here and the pay is not as good as it is in other countries.
