I'm pretty sure they haven't done anything too bad in the past. So, I'll play the "I'm not that British" card, come the revolution.

Oh, the German bit...
Won't help you. A while ago, I pointed out to a high-caste Indian lady who works over here and has lived a life vastly more privileged than mine that my ancestors were Irish and had been on the wrong end of imperialism, too. Didn't matter, she said. I had grown up with white privilege and that meant I was just as complicit as if I'd been packing blacks onto a slaver.

'Intersectionality' is just a respectable front for abusing and discriminating against straight white men.
