three quarters couldn't name a white one either.
- They can name kings, queens and some prime ministers.
  But given how incredibly white the UK historically was, they're all obviously white.
  
  I can name like 8 Henrys because they come in a sequence (I presume).
  
  If you add Lenny Henry to the end, you win a prize.
