For me, now or in an even better future.
My parents were poor but I got a good State education and became a lawyer.
My partner's parents were poor immigrants from India. My partner got a good State education, got in to Civil Rights then became a lawyer.
I am white, sort of Muslim. My partner is British Indian and Sikh. Her daughter is mixed race and atheist.
And today, none of this makes any difference to us, our friends, family or just about anyone we ever come in to contact with here in Britain.
When, at any point in the past would that have been true, no matter how well read the people may have been?
