This unquestioned racism was so mainstream as to be part of the water system. White people making jokes about curry, laughing at made-up Indian names and how long they are, their compulsion to try the accent, and inability to do so without taking a left turn into Llanelli. I’ve always felt an affinity with the Welsh dating back to this time. They’re part of the honorary clientele at my dream pub, which otherwise exclusively caters to blacks and dogs and Irish. Hard to imagine a better night out.
