honestly i just love how long it took everyone (except Aisling) to get the joke XD

[@namasayanif]

What Mr. Ayoade stated is sort of the truth. In the UK and Europe they were almost exclusively royals (which were of course, whites). Even today, try and look up the top 50 or 100 socialites. People don't say it, but 'white/caucasian' can almost be part of the definition of a socialite. I think that was what Ayoade went for.
