Now my mum's not a racist, but
she does measure 'foreign' by that method. You see, a brown person born outside Britain is more foreign than say a Polish worker born outside Britain.
There are, however, exceptions.
If the dark skinned fellow is born inside Britain then he's obviously not foreign, and if they're from the West Indies then they're also very low on the foreign scale.
The end result is that a man born in Prague is less foreign than a man born in Kandahar, but more foreign than a man born in Jamaica.
I was well chuffed when I broke the code.
