@SW-User I don't hate the English. I lived in London for five years as a student.
I acknowledge that England inherit some bad karma as a hangover from its colonial years, hence the country has some huge problems, but it's also a place of incredibly deep and rich culture and diversity. I actually love the UK.

@SW-User I accept that it wasn't you or your dad or grandad.

The time of forgiveness is varies from person to person and country to country.
Now that most of the former colonies are independent, it's up to them to heal their own issues arising from racism, many of which are still being perpetuated in similar ways.
But Britain has accepted many immigrants from its former colonies - in some cases actively recruited them - and has not always been entirely fair to them or their descendents. This creates very strong repercussions.
