What about everyone else? Why should anyone care more about Brits than anyone else in that superdome? Because they're white?
because they were being attacked for being white...nothing unusual about that to me.
Exactly. Why not?
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.
