Racist, sexist, homophobic views aren’t a biological trait.
Like an ex-smoker, I’m kind of pushy about it because I used to be that.
I went to private school, same one as some of our esteemed leaders, it was ingrained into us by the teachers that we were better. We were elite

On school trips we were told not to talk to the “plebs” e.g normal people. We were drilled in how Labour were the soviets and Protestantism was as important as the Queen.
I didn’t do great there and ended up at the local comprehensive. Academically I failed but socially it opened my eyes. The elite class stuff, was all bullshit.
I have a Half-Brother, he’s got Asian roots. I was white with a younger Asian looking brother and one day I had to contend with a Dad of one of my brothers pals, refusing to buy my brother an ice cream because he was a P***
Confronting the bloke, he was confused. “But how are you his brother, you’re white” My brother was about 6 and thankfully now, that memory is long gone for him.
I’ve been told to go back to Switzerland, especially after Brexit. Which when you’ve represented the city you love for over 30 years, playing, coaching and owning the bloody team that was a bit shit to be honest but experiencing the smallest hint of racism fired me up.
Finally, I was a little bit mysogensitic in the 90s, just because that was the lie of the land. Loaded culture
But then my Daughter came along and I realised that she needed a world that was stronger, kinder and more equal. Behaviour takes a while to change, but it does change.

Another ramble over, but I think it’s important for people who disagree with me, to hear my opinion. It helps ground the argument more than I’m just a bandwagon jumper.
