The alkynyl anion is a pretty strong base . For the stereochemistry think about orbitals . <| sep |> Someone edit soros head on that owner . <| sep |> Well , 2 points 1 . I don ' t think it ' s that weird anymore , granted I haven ' t lived in England for a while but I didn ' t think nonwhite people identifying themselves as English was uncommon or weird , especially if they have an English accent . I especially can ' t see white English people telling black English people that they must be ashamed of their ancestry . 2 . That said , and at the risk of being racist , I think it ' s probably a little different for nonwhites than for whites . If you see a white person in England , you ' d assume Englishness , but would you make the same assumption for a nonwhite person , even after all these years ? There ' s very visibly the possibility that they aren ' t , especially in London where there are so many foreigners .
