Perhaps this is more of an issue of immigrants moving to the UK with no intention of assimilating and don ' t care to know about British history or culture . I think that ' s pretty disgusting to be honest but that ' s not a conversation for here . The fact you said your friend doesn ' t know about the Poppy and didn ' t see anyone wearing it just convinces me more that it is willful ignorance . You see Poppies everywhere for weeks leading up to rememberence Sunday . Did you also not see every town and city stop dead in silence for a minute ? I find the things you are saying quite sad and fairly worrying . <| sep |> Boy , look how far back it goes . It ' s like a tooth . <| sep |> As an Indigenous Australian , I never understood why the US use fractions to convey Native heritage . It seems weird . I legit had a girl tell me she was 132 Native and when I told her it that sounded strange we don ' t use fractionspercentages in our community as they were used in post colonial times during slavery and assimilation . also , why not just say your ' greatgreat something was native '?. She got so upset with me .
