Hounding of Meghan Markel by British tabloid press is racist apparently

[Igovernor]

A long history amongst a section of Americans some 100 years ago. Uppity in Britain means to be self important. Theres never been a racist connotation in the word in this country. Its more often than not used on white people in this country.

Got agree here, I have been called uppity all my life, I have a huge failing I am arrogant (Uppity) and I do know it.
In this country it means just that. Every uk dictionary says the same if Croesy want's to start using meanings used in america 100 years ago perhaps he should start with calling trousers pants. Different countries different meanings!

It is ridiculous.

These days, if you say you're British, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail.
