I feel like today the whole world is a) wanting, innocently, to know why telling people to fuck off back to Poland and Bangaldesh is racist, they're just saying or b) trying to tell me "bigot" is a slur, I'm looking at you, BBC.

YES I GET IT EVERYONE HATES ME, my parents took your jobs and I took your school places and you're so pretty and so white and I smell and I talk funny and why does this still hurt so much, why.

...I'm kind of drunk and I'm having an anxiety attack this big and I'm going to bed. Nick Clegg didn't do the little immigration thingy spiel on Wednesday but maybe it's because I was sitting there in the front row, right there with my stupid face. I'm voting Labour.

We're not talking about jobs. We're talking about the extremely upsetting and dehumanising language used to talk about immigration.

Excuse me, please do not do that. Apologising for your interlocutor's misunderstanding of you position is an extremely passive-aggressive approach.
