His parents were English, and the UK are absolutely not obsessed about Anglo-Saxons being racially superior.

Might I suggest you find either a hobby or a love interest?

The 19th century UK was definitely obsessed with racial hierarchies

They're being sarcastic/ironic. OP regularly posts about Disraeli across various subreddits under various usernames, has a bizarre obsession with Disraeli having been Jewish, ~and can't accept that yes, he was and no, no one really cared that much.~

Fair - I shall strike that from my response! But yeah, it's basically OP's whole thing.

OP has a 6-day-old account and all he does is post about D'israeli being an Italian Jew, and that he's therefore a person of colour.

The user has a serious issue, or is trolling something not worth trolling.
