English are fair game. Punching up, innit.
The concept of 'punching up' does amuse me - not least because of its inherently bigoted assumption of superiority on the part of those being punched. Thus, to the white, middle class liberal mentality, a wealthy Indian or African person may slag off a poor white English person because they are 'punching up', which actually only serves to endorse and reinforce ingrained ideas of racial hierarchy.
