I've heard that we do that because we used to chop those two fingers off of French Archers during god knows which war...
Any truth to that do you know Disraeli, you're knowledgable I believe.

Feel free to substitute gestures for whatever means "go screw yourself" in your culture when dealing with the snowflakes.
Back when we and The French weren't best of friends, they used to threaten to cut off the index and middle fingers of our bowmen. After Agincourt, the victorious bowmen taunted the French prisoners with this gesture.

The French threatened to do that to the English.
They didn't have archers, they hired Genovese crossbowmen instead.

This professor needs a wake up call.
Singing an anthem is not cultural appropriation just as me singing Billie Jean isn't cultural appropriation.
It's done to lament or honour.
Keep this sh*t on your side of the isle.
