READER Ida Mary Goodrick (Letters, October 1) refers to whether the Germans are, or should be, seen as friends.
The Royal Family on the Queen’s side are descended from German blood. No wonder then that the German Kaiser attended Queen Victoria’s funeral.
Seeing the Royal family as the epitome of Britishness is absurd anyway; Prince Philip has Greek origins.
Disliking Germans simply for being German is racist. As to the German-born Pope, surely he is supposed to represent Catholicism. I am not aware that the Catholic religion is racist; or is it?
