The British Empire ruled over very pretty diverse people alright. It’s still the same ruling families in power, that ran imperial colonialism.

Yeah but they didn't celebrate diversity, they subjugated and exploited it.

The ~~Battenberg-Saxe-Coburg~~ Mountbatten-Windsor family doesn't like to admit it, but most of its wealth is built on the exploitation of the Empire's colonies.

So when the head of that particular crime family makes a speech to promote diversity, you'll excuse me if I feel a wave of nausea.

That clan has managed to be on top for a very long time by playing the power game pretty well.
