Is there some problem with your understanding " I take people at their word, rather than what the government says"? Is there like some language barrier you're struggling to get around?

Rishi Sunak was the head of the fucking government you cunt.
Do you have a point or you just want to keep repeating this
“Is there some problem with your understanding " I take people at their word, rather than what the government says"?” Rishi Sunak was the head of the British government, yet you replied the above when someone pointed out that south Asians are, in their own words, proud Brits.
Yes he is British because he says he's British because he identifies as British This is not that hard.
What, that you’re a complete wanker? Ok then. You’re a complete wanker. Quite probably a racist wanker, too.
Looking forward to your Zohran Mamdani is not American tweets when he’s elected Mayor of New York, you racist piece of kelp.
He's an American citizen which is good enough for me. Unlike far-right conservatives, I don't really put much thought into anything other than what someone tells me about themselves Because it's not my night call to make.... I don't know why you think it's yours
You’ve been refusing to accept *actual British people* literally telling you they’re British. You really are a complete wanker, aren’t you?
Racist piece of kelp is my new go-to. Thanks.
I don’t know where it came from, unlike chicken tikka masala.
I am struggling to understand why any non-racist would deny non-white people a British identity.
Why are you not willing to take Messrs Khan and Sunak at their word? Is it a special secret reason?
I would believe whatever they told me I certainly would not put an identity upon them.... Unlike basically everyone in these replies
I don’t know man, I reckon someone who’s willing to be the literal fucking prime minister of the literal fucking UK considers themselves literally fucking British.
That's f****** cool.... Did rishi sunak invent chicken tikka masala? Because that's what we're talking about here.
You replied to a skeet outlining how the former PM of the UK was a proud Brit with “Is there some problem with your understanding " I take people at their word, rather than what the government says"?”
You’re really shit at this Bill.
But don’t you know put an identity on them or anything you blunted edge lord.
You would not believe they were British unless they actively told you because they're not white. The vast majority of us in the UK moved way beyond that kind of ethnic profiling a long time ago. Your trenchant opinions on a country you know nothing about mean you could only be American!
You’re doing something subtly different. You’re refusing to accept certain people’s identity is British *unless and until* they tell you. But from your past statements, you don’t seem to be putting everyone through the same test. Funny, that…
Khan and Sunak were both born in Britain!
Okay cool... That's really irrelevant though
How’s it irrelevant? Oh yeah, they’re of Asian heritage and you don’t think Asians can be British, although you seem to agree they can be American.
Did either one of those people take credit for inventing chicken tikka masala?
No, but the dude who did was British which for some reason you refuse to accept because they were of South Asian heritage, which is textbook racism.
" The dude who did" Yeah, it's actually not at all clear that that person is the person who invented the dish But surely you can understand why there would be an incentive to claim the popular dish
I am sorry but you are just doing exactly what racists do, claiming someone born as a British subject during the Empire who then moves to the UK cannot be British. This is textbook fucking racism and also just shows how ignorant you are of British imperial history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Ahm...
Omg, this is like the 8th time someone posts this wiki article which offers no support for this man's claim. I want you to take a second and think about why someone would want to claim ownership of an extremely popular food dish.
It’s still British, still invented by British people, regardless of the individual who invented it. Although it’s pretty well established it was invented in Glasgow
" invented by British people" is the issue with the statement. We don't actually know this!
Oh right, going back to the original point that caused all this because you’ve reached the end of the road with this one. Come on, you can do better. Or maybe you can’t. Do all 5.5 million British Asians have to take credit for inventing CTM before you’ll consider them British? You are a wally.
Well yeah I mean I'm going to go back to the original point because that's what's on offer here Because obviously there are Southeast Asian, British people and black British people and all kinds of British people. But that's also irrelevant because I never claimed there weren't
So why say a dish wasn’t invented by Brits, because they happen not to be white? Would you question the citizenship of Boris Johnson (born in the US btw) or Margaret Thatcher? Yes, obviously there are Asian British people. That’s what people, including a lot of Asian Brits, have been telling you!
No, I don't think it was invented by "brits" Because there is absolutely no evidence for it. It's not a race thing. That's what you're hung up on. You're desperate to lay claim to this...
I genuinely don’t believe HorseBoy can do better. America is not sending their finest with this one.
Your position is that you refuse to accept Rishi Sunak as British despite him being the British Prime Minister, until he confirms it for you? Are you high ?
Why do they need to conduct this extra step when being a citizen is enough for an American? bsky.app/profile/bill...
I don't think they do need to take that extra step. But in the legal system we exist under they do. I am just definitely against this notion of that you were possessed by the nation you reside in. I'm American because I identified that not because the government declared it
No the extra step is solely a product of your white mind Here you say being a citizen is enough. Why does that not apply to the British? bsky.app/profile/bill...
Well I mean it matters because everyone is making this claim that the people who invented it chicken tikka masala identify themselves as British.....
They're not "claiming" it, it's a matter of historical fact
I can’t believe I’m being forced to bat for Rishi Sunak here, but you know the twat is British.
You don't have to go to bat for him because it's an extremely stupid point and you'd be better off moving along from it
Like you were moving on earlier?
I know the twat is British. Somehow our responses to LittleHorseyWilly are getting mixed up.
I meant Sunak is the twat and considering the course of the argument it’s important to defend that regardless of Sunak’s politics.
I'm sure he is a twat. He's a British politician. What do you expect?
Oh so now you accept he’s British because before in reply to JWexTheSpa you weren’t sure.
Of course he's British. I don't understand what any of this means. You're just talking to yourself
