I can see the irony of some brain dead people denigrating and being critical of a symbol of the nation they choose to remain in, and others go to great lengths to come to, because an accident of birth left them born in what must be a lesser place. They're often the same brain dead types that wonder what happened to civic pride.
Like the Queen, it's not the individual, but the institution they represent. Only racists and the ignorant would believe the 'nationality' of those in symbolic posts was that much of an issue.
I'm guessing, based on your spelling, you don't really know what Semitic means either.
