Aw I'm sorry about the immigration hassle. Trust me, I've been there. And am currently petitioning the US immigration to bring Bertie over here. And it's a hassle.
That was meant to be a joke. I'm sorry it didn't come across properly (or perhaps was an off-colour joke to begin with). In complete honesty, the reason I believe that I'm entitled to continue residence in the UK is the fact that I will have just graduated from one of the top British universities with a quite sound degree programme finished. Obviously none of this should have anything to do with race (or, for that matter, ethnicity-- if we're speaking outwith the UK for all, but the European Union has made sure that is not true). The immigration rules have absolutely nothing to do with country of origin or skin colour (or religion, or anything else) and are entirely a points-based system whereby you can stay in the country if you have money and a guaranteed fancy job.
Anyways, it was meant to be a poke at the British past and colonialism but evidently I failed to articulate that :-P
I miss hearing from you and I'm sorry things didn't work out as hoped.
And once you're home, ride X-Flight. And namtaB (yes, that's 'Batman' backward). And visit the pierogi fest. Who knows? You may find B and me doing any or all of those things.

(I realize that was probably supposed to be a joke, but as someone not-white, it came off as really...not OK.)
Still-sorry to hear about the breakup, glad that you 're graduating and that you're not dreading coming back to America. :)
