Trust me, an American gets plenty of comments from random people when they hear the accent but that is besides the point.

First of all, if somebody was BORN here they aren't an immigrant. Secondly, there are MANY British people of non-recent immigrant status that contribute nothing at all..live on the dole and do nothing.

All of which doesn't change the racist nature of the joke and the person quoted as there were no qualifying standards in the joke.
