Prashad:
>Immediately attacks, antagonizes and villainizes the people hosting him
>Is in a country that also has a history of foreign domination and exploitation, completely ignores it, makes it implicitly clear that there can be no shared understanding between him and them, and casts them solely as villains due to their race
>Doesn't even really see the people hosting him as a "people" (Scots) in their own right, instead just seeing them as interchangeable representatives of the race he hates
>Binary worldview based solely on race, whites = evil, everyone else = good, doesn't even hint at there being any ambiguity between the two groups in his eyes
>No attempt to reconcile their differences, approaches his host people's history and culture from his own Main Character syndrome self-pitying POV without even considering their own nuanced historical experience
Duke:
>Immediately salutes the people hosting him and their, unfortunately former now in 2025, leader
>Immediately seeks common ground with his hosts
>Professes no negative feelings towards his hosts, instead identifying a common enemy between his people and them and talks of nothing but the shared suffering of their two peoples at the hand of this common enemy
>Nothing but polite and friendly during his entire speech

First I said thanks for, um, forcing me to come to Glasgow. Uh, when I walked the streets of cities like this, you know, Glasgow was the UK's second most important city, beautiful buildings, beautiful streets, a gorgeous city. You know, it had red Clydeside in 1919, the uprising to create a soviet in Scotland, but it was ,you know, crushed of course. When I see cities like this, I think also about the other side of it. You know there's a phrase from Walter Benny, I mean, every monument of civilization is also a monument of barbarism. I think of the famines in Bengal, the jute workers in Bengal sending jude to Dundee through the Glasgow port.
I think of human beings from Africa enslaved and brought from Ghana to the New World and all those people getting sucked into cities like London and Glasgow. You know, between 1765 and 1938, the British Isles stole 45 trillion pounds from India, 45 trillion sterling from India. We never got paid for that when the British left India. When we threw the British out our literacy rate was 13. So much for several hundred years of so-called civilization. Meanwhile, our landscapes were destroyed, you know, coal was foisted on India, you foisted coal on us, you were the ones that came and made us coal dependent and then you left and now you dare to condescend to us. When I listen to Boris Johnson, when I listen to people like Joe Biden, when I listen even more to Emmanuel Macron, all I can think of is how condescending you are.
