i have a friend who knows how to shank and rob you, or to scheme how to screw you out of your money. but he doesn't know what the NSA is, and probably doesn't know that africa is a continent. and no, he's not brittish

You count people like this as 'friends'?
yes, i am even open to befriending a brittish person. what can i say? i'm just a nice guy.
Well, you shouldn't judge people by nationality cos dat's racist, but if they're stabbing and robbing people I'd advise against befriending these types of people.
nah he's not thuggish.. he's just been raised on the wrong side of the socioeconomic scale.
i don't know what you're talking about, i'm willing to befriend a brit.. that's not racist. if anything, that's anti racism.
