This reminds me of McSomething and his "Story of English".
He notes how racist the English could be then when they held the British
Empire in India.
One anecdote is kind of delightful though.
There was this bartender, or waiter, who was an Indian-born Indian, true
Indian. His English, however, was, McWh. notes, too good. Result: he got
_fired_. The Brits could not accept that an employee at their club would _not_
have
an Indian accent!
Cheers,
JL
