I think this is a good lesson for anyone who wants to disparage anyone else based on their nationality. Seriously. Just shut the fuck up.

I've just been listening to the Empire podcast and the whole first 20 episodes are based on the English in India. I've just got up to the bit about the Partition of India/Pakistan and the terrible violence that happened when they drew up the border, and how Muslims and Hindu were basically killing each other - it was incredibly traumatic and three generations afterwards, they're still fighting and still fucked up over it.

And it struck me, that's the world, right? All this bullshit over religion, nationality, etc etc. We're always finding a reason to hate each other instead of a reason to love each other.

History keeps repeating.
