The notion of English identity got lost to a British one. Then the Empire crumbled. Creating a fragile national psyche threatened by seemingly anything innocuous.
I’d love England to develop a positive, outgoing, welcoming cultural identity for itself that it’s proud of. That gives it the confidence to not be threatened by others. And one that respectable people took ownership of, not absolute thugs.

Good luck with opening an English Cultural centre.
Never be allowed. Every other sort is allowed and often gets public funding. The English have been described as a mongrel race. You can't get that way unless you are NOT racist. By definition, it is those that are "racially pure" that are racist.

Reggie Yates: Life and Death in Chicago
The broadcaster travels to Chicago to investigate gun crime in President Obama's adopted hometown to find out why so many of the victims are young African-American men. He hears first-hand the accusations of police brutality, but after attending the aftermath of a shooting, and the funeral of a young black man, he comes to realise an even bigger problem is the majority of killings are perpetrated by African-Americans living in the city's poorest neighbourhoods.
