It reminded me of the time when I was coming back from the Stampede on the train and some old lady and her husband kept trying to budge through everyone after I had waited like 3 trains to get to the front of a line. I asked her to go back to the back of the crowd as they had just got there and pushed and shoved their way to the front.

In a British accent she's like "go back to your country", I was like "this is my country bitch, I was born and raised here".

Her husband looked embarrassed but probably because they usually keep their racism between themselves.
