St Sebastian the adopted Saint of LGBTQ + anything but Hetro. (Yes, the Saint was a He/Him X & Y)

He seems to get HIS parades approved by city hall on a monthly basis.

May have a problem getting them to wear only green without Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Indigo & Violet

Better yet, perhaps another Brit will have a problem wearing anything:

 

Pattaya’s first-ever St. Patrick’s Day parade was temporarily upstaged by a naked British man who stumbled out of a beer bar sans clothing for a stroll down the parade route.

I was wondering how long it would take you to make you usual racist comments about Brits. It seem to be our obsession. You had to dig back 12 years to find this one.

If they put green dye in black water will the sea turn green🤔

Given Brits' constant denigration of Americans (is that "racist?"), all Americans on the forum should return the favor at any opportunity. Unfortunately, we're but a small minority, so it's a losing battle against the pretension and pomposity of our privileged class.
