I know there are racist people in this country. My Grandmother, who is in her 90s, is ready to move to Israel if Jeremy Corbyn gets elected because he will lead us to socially acceptable, state-sponsored antisemitism and she's already lived through that once. A muslim spat in my face on the Tube because I was wearing a Star of David. No one intervened on my behalf. I took a picture as the angry muslim ranted at me and handed it to the Transport Police. They couldn't have been less interested.

It's not only black people who are subjected to this kind of sh1t, but really, you have to keep some perspective. No one seems willing to think the old nutter on the aeroplane is anything other than a vile racist, when he probably just hates everyone.
