Another day in Britain, another day the racists get upset anyone not white is even hinted at to exist. Gotta love us!

Thankfully though it usually is at least just a vocal minority, but they are still scum who should go fuck themselves.

Is it really a British Christmas without some racist breaking down about a non white person "ruining" their WHITE Christmas.

Most the time they're just regular busses that will do a school run in the morning/evening but will be in regular service the rest of the day. The concept of dedicated/specialised school buses isn't really a thing here in my experience.

This is a country that once banned the word Ninja, and nunchucks being used. Which meant Bruce Lee films were edited to all hell. I'm not surprised.

I've never understood why we don't have double deckers in America. They would do great in crowded cities

I remember someone on /co/ was crying about a cartoon having forced diversity and I replied "real life is diverse"
He never responded

From article:

While the advert has largely been well received, a tiny number of bigoted trolls have blasted it for being too woke for starring a Black family.

Topic title seems like it's... unfairly representing the situation.

For real. We don't have these in Britain, so it's why we can have double deckers.

I was on a trip to London with my school class in I dunno when. It was shortly after the bus bombs. At one point we saw double decker that had its roof sheered off like a can of tuna because it drove down a path where there was a large tree jutting out over the road.
