I live in the Uk, i’m not British, and speak with a foreign accent. I was extremely surprised to see people complain of the « racist abuses »... until i read those few posts explaining that the « racists abuses » in question were the mere fact of being asked « what’s your accent ».

Ok, if being asked what your accent is, is a « racial abuse », then yes, i guess i am a victim and should whine and maybe ask for money? Stop being snowflakes.

Please don't pretend to reference the parent comment with what you say by falsely quoting "racial abuse" - the parent comment never said that. And we don't know what "racial abuse" referred to in the original comment.
