In the next paragraph, a survey is mentioned that states that more than half of British people feel hostile towards refugees and ethnic minorities or feel like their culture is being threatened. A quarter shares the belief that immigrants take away jobs and a third that they don’t contribute to society but instead take away from it. The following paragraph the author talks about British culture and how it is generally perceived as ‘white’. A lot of British people demand their country back, but few people mention wanting their country to be ‘white’ again. This is part of the reason why Racist attacks have grown in numbers again. Hirsch also mentions her own experiences with racism, she mentions one incident when a taxi driver told her that she would be ‘home’ soon. Then she mentions the Opinium poll, which states that British minorities are less likely to identify as British since the Eu referendum. Instead, they chose to claim their ethnic identity as their own. This is because of lacking protection offered at workplaces or by the police. The last is about how British culture is not exclusively white and does not exclude ethnic minorities by nature. As she mentions that a lot of British traditions do not have their origins in Britain. Such as fish and Chips which is from Portugal. Hirsch feels uneasy about the way patriotism is treated in England because of its reputation for being Xenophobic.
