Because the Brits are all for the USA electing a black man who has the same socialistic political leanings as they do, but they would not elect a black man as their own leader.

That's not hypocritical.

Hypocritical is if they criticize us for not having enough minorities in leadership positions, but they defend their own lack of minority leaders. Something like that. Unless I'm mistaken, there's nothing hypocritical about the article that Arch posted.

Perhaps.

To me, the article was kind of a "do as we say, not as we do" kind of thing.

This article was one guy giving his opinion. This makes the entire UK hypocritical?

Do you put that much weight in one random person's opinion? yikes.

Yes, it was one man's opinion, but it's my opinion that the majority of Britain thinks as he does.
