maybe its the fact i now live in Wales and its always been like this, but I’d say racism (not overt, yet) is creeping back in into the UK. Its nothing like i experienced as a child in the 80s/90s (arson, round the clock harrassment, assaults break-ins, death-threats, property damage, racist graffiti. It all mostly stopped after the Stephen Lawrence murder) but its subtle.
At first you think its a one off, but certain things keep happening. People block you from walking on a pavement or wont give you the time of day.
That said, things that happened in the wake of the brexit vote hasn’t happened since. So there’s that.
