I live in the Uk, i’m not British, and speak with a foreign accent. I was extremely surprised to see people complain of the « racist abuses »... until i read those few posts explaining that the « racists abuses » in question were the mere fact of being asked « what’s your accent ». Ok, if being asked what your accent is, is a « racial abuse », then yes, i guess i am a victim and should whine and maybe ask for money?…

I urge you to ingest excrement and cease your existence. At what point did I allege that what I experienced was racial abuse?

« my children and wife started to experience a level of racially motivated abuse that we had not seen before.« To which both people replied saying « same for us ». You’re welcome.

Sadly, behind every person who is prepared to act upon his or her racial animus with acts of physical violence directed against the innocent and helpless, there is an army of equally malevolent supporters and enablers who willingly compound the harm and trauma with gaslighting and similar abusive and manipulative acts.

Yes, at some point one has to wonder whether this is intentional. But it could also just be a product of cognitive dissonance which makes people read or understand something that has no basis in reality

Yes, that's certainly true.

ARM was bought by a Japanese firm and they are now trying to sell it to a US firm. How is Brexit related?

Brexit made the price tag of ARM significantly cheaper for other firms like SoftBank to take it over. [0] [0] https://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2016/07/18/arm-softb...

GBP/JPY was falling from Sept 2015 through to the actual referendum, and then stabilized there at the same level as it was between 2009-2012, or actually slightly higher.

Given SoftBank paid a 43% premium over the share price at the time to buy it, and given the strategic nature of the ARM acquisition for them, it's unlikely relatively small currency fluctuations made much impact on that decision. Masayoshi Son is not exactly famous for his finance-driven, highly calculating approach to investments.
