A nice Arizona translation might be: **** you and the horse you rode in on.

Well the Google people must be from Arizona then.

No, nearly 93% of British are white. So 9 times out of 10 I should be right in guessing a person's skin colour if they say they are British, statistically speaking of course.

Feckwit didn't even have the balls to sign it :mad:

Its kids - I'd bet money on it.

Even if it aint - dont let it bother you. It just seems worse 'cos you're in a foreign country. Its just one person trying to make you feel uncomfortable and psyche you because they know it'll unsettle you a little. you've probably offended some small minded ape unknowingly - (parked your car in his place? Shat thru his letter box maybe? dunno....)

Just bear in mind that its only ONE person. Not the USA as a whole.

Bling!Bling! Ayyyyyy!

Nope, try again. You said:

British people don't look foreign in the US
That would be incorrect.

That's right, I said British people don't look foreign in the US, meaning that if you don't hear us talk you would probably think we're just white "Americans".

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.

My fiancee had some interesting comments on this one: she had to get over some real prejudice against the British when we started dating. Apparently (in her school at least) the school system taught them to hate the British and what they had done throughout history, perhaps there are less forgiving people in your area?

Wow. Now that's a new one on me. But, the US is a big and diversified place and I'm just glad I never came across that on the West Coast while growing up.

Mel Gibson's got a lot to answer for what with Braveheart and the Patriot.
