Right, but I'm not saying anything about the people who've lived here. In my first sentence, I'm suspecting things about the perceptions of people outside the UK (or possibly recent arrivals). In my second, I'm speculating wildly about how race works in the UK but stating that I really don't know. By the way, as an actual concrete statement: Your border force is absolutely grand and made me feel so welcomed. I should be going to sleep to stave off jet lag, but I am just really excited to finally be here after many years of planning and working toward this.
