The statement seems mildly racist on the surface, but so what? Even if it could be proved that the statement could be taken at face value so what. Who am I?
I'm an ethnically-Protestant, ethnically-Christian, Gentile, Buddhist, Hindu, Pagan, Infidel, culturaly-southern-English, English, British, cis, Euracian-heterosexual, Euracian-male, Euracian, Commoner.
Virtually every component / level of my identity is the target of continual micro aggressions. For example you yourself Potemkin have expressed open anti English racism. The BBC usually likes to express its anti English racism in more subtle form. The Coronation to give another example was an orgy of racism against Commoners by the Monarchist-Marxist elite. The fact that so many self hating Commoners have bought into this monarchist ideology, doesn't in any way mitigate the fact that the Coronation was a hate crime. This post can only stand as the barest introduction to the intersectional oppression that I suffer.
So although I don't agree with Tucker Carlson's statement, I'm wholly unconcerned if occasionally a little bit of prejudice goes the other way from a member of one of my identity groups.
