This ongoing toxic discourse has multiple real-life, everyday consequences
It leads to the man sitting next to me on a bus not accepting I'm from Manchester as I have 'dark skin'

I named my fists Torvill and Dean because whilst they may be synchronised, they're not actually together.
I named my fists Cannon and Ball because they're not very funny.
I named my fists Flying and Dutchman because they never land
