"What about everyone else? Why should anyone care more about Brits than anyone else in that superdome? Because they're white?"

The irony or sarcasm, I don't know which, is that young Brit and Ozzie world travelers are supposed to be immune to what's happening around them. It's their "world travel adventure" remembering when the Brits controlled the oceans all around the world.

These kids save up for two years to pay for their cheap around-the-world airfare. They stay in cheap hostels and work whereever they go, if they can.

They come home and tell the locals about their travels, compelling more teenagers to want to do it.

You have a lot of issues, and I don't know why your anglophobia is a fit topic to trot around FR. More to the point, what is wrong, what is ant-conservative, about working to save money so that you can travel around the world and see what is going on in it? They earned it, it is their money, it is a worthy cause, and you should shut your yap about it. And, what is wrong with encouraging other kids to earn and save and go aout and see the world too?

And the reason that this is news is because a British newspaper is reporting about how American social conditions have affected some British teenagers. What I would be ashamed of is that we are such abysmal hosts to our overseas guests, but maybe hospitality to foreigners isn't part of your conservative social values.

All I can figure is that you are not a real conservative. You are just ani-inallekshul and derivatively anti-ferener. If you aren't you sure come across that way.
