Windrush was particularly cruel and frankly taking the piss. People were asked to justify their right to live in the UK with a piece of paper ("Landing card") that their parents may have received 50+ years prior on arrival to the UK.
Leaflets given to people deported to Jamaica (their parents' homeland) said things like "attitudes to foreigners can vary abroad, try to <<act Jamaican>>, don't emphasise coming from Britain".
