One important fact they gloss over in the history books though is she kicked all non-whites out of England.

What were her feelings towards Jews?
Jayden White
Between the expulsion of Jews in 1290 and their formal return in 1655, there is no official trace of Jews as such on English soil except in connection with the Domus Conversorum, which kept a number of them within its precincts up to 1551 and even later. An attempt was made to obtain a revocation of the edict of expulsion as early as 1310, but in vain. Notwithstanding, a certain number of Jews appeared to have returned; for complaints were made to the king in 1376 that some of those trading as Lombards were actually Jews ("Rot. Parl." ii. 332a).
Occasionally permits were given to individuals to visit England, as in the case of Dr Elias Sabot (an eminent physician from Bologna summoned to attend Henry IV) in 1410, but it was not until the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 and Portugal in 1497 that any considerable number of Sephardic Jews found refuge in England. One of these as early as 1493 attempted to recover no less a sum than 428,000 maravedis which the refugees from Spain had entrusted to Diego de Soria.[citation needed] In 1542 many were arrested on the suspicion of being Jews, and throughout the sixteenth century a number of persons named Lopez, possibly all of the same family, took refuge in England, the best known of them being Rodrigo López, physician to Queen Elizabeth I, and who is said to have been the origin of Shylock.[16]
Aside from certain distinguished converts like Immanuel Tremellius and Philip Ferdinand, the most remarkable visitor was Joachim Gaunse, who introduced new methods of mining into England. Occasional visitors, like Alonzo de Herrera and Simon Palache in 1614, are recorded. The writings of John Weemes provided a positive view of the resettlement of Jews in England.

This is what I missed about Holla Forums. Threads about people whom we're conditioned to think of as being awful but being defended nonetheless.

English society in the Elizabethan era has been described as antisemitic.[13] English Jews had been expelled in 1290; Jews were not allowed to settle in the country until the rule of Oliver Cromwell. In the 16th and early 17th centuries, Jews were often presented on the Elizabethan stage in hideous caricature, with hooked noses and bright red wigs. They were usually depicted as avaricious usurers; an example is Christopher Marlowe's play The Jew of Malta, which features a comically wicked Jewish villain called Barabas. They were usually characterized as evil, deceptive, and greedy.
During the 1600s in Venice and in other places, Jews were required to wear a red hat at all times in public to ensure that they were easily identified. If they did not comply with this rule, they could face the death penalty. In Venice Jews had to live in a ghetto protected by Christians, probably for their own safety. The Jews were expected to pay their guards.[14]
Shakespeare's play reflected the anti-semitic tradition. The title page of the Quarto indicates that the play was sometimes known as The Jew of Venice in its day, which suggests that it was seen as similar to Marlowe's The Jew of Malta. One interpretation of the play's structure is that Shakespeare meant to contrast the mercy of the main Christian characters with the vengeful Shylock, who lacks the religious grace to comprehend mercy. Similarly, it is possible that Shakespeare meant Shylock's forced conversion to Christianity to be a "happy ending" for the character, as it 'redeems' Shylock both from his unbelief and his specific sin of wanting to kill Antonio. This reading of the play would certainly fit with the anti-semitic trends present in Elizabethan England.

WHEREAS the Queen's majesty, tendering the good and welfare of her own natural subjects, greatly distressed in these hard times of dearth, is highly discontented to understand the great number of Negroes and blackamoors which (as she is informed) are carried into this realm since the troubles between her highness and the King of Spain; who are fostered and powered here, to the great annoyance of her own liege people that which co[vet?] the relief which these people consume, as also for that the most of them are infidels having no understanding of Christ or his Gospel: hath given a special commandment that the said kind of people shall be with all speed avoided and discharged out of this her majesty's realms; and to that end and purpose hath appointed Casper van Senden, merchant of Lubeck, for their speedy transportation, a man that hath somewhat deserved of this realm in respect that by his own labor and charge he hath relieved and brought from Spain divers of our English nation who otherwise would have perished there.

Nelson Mandela
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country's first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid by tackling institutionalised racism and fostering racial reconciliation. Ideologically an African nationalist and democratic socialist, he served as President of the African National Congress party from 1991 to 1997.
Hendrik Verwoerd
Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd, also known as Dr. H. F. Verwoerd, was a South African Psychology and Philosophy scholar, Afrikaans newspaper editor-in-chief and Prime Minister of South Africa. He is regarded as the mastermind behind socially engineering and implementing the racial policies of apartheid, the system of legal racial classification and forced racial segregation that existed in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. Verwoerd rigidly enforced Apartheid policies through further introducing oppressive laws, which diminished the rights of ordinary individuals especially black South Africans. Verwoerd empowered the police, Secret Police and Army to extraordinary levels. During his time in office he ordered a secret all-out offensive against those opposed to apartheid policies and as a result tens of thousands people were arrested, jailed and or sent into exile. People were also tortured and killed during his time in office.

Nelson Mandela has introduced oppressive laws, diminished the rights of ordinary Boer / White South Africans, and has likely arrested, jailed, exiled, tortured, and killed far more than Hendrik ever did.

Dunstan [Gonsalvo] Anes (c1520–94) married the daughter of London-based Marrano doctor Simon Ruiz. A merchant and financial agent, Dunstan was purveyor to Queen Elizabeth, whose physician, Roderigo *Lopez, mar ried Dunstan’s daughter. Dunstan received the Freedom of the City and, as an osten sible Christian, was admitted to the Grocers’ Company, as were, subsequently, three of his sons. Dunstan’s brother Francis Anes, a mer chant and soldier of fortune, did intelligence work for Drake in the Azores. Francis was three times Mayor of Youghal in Ireland … Outwardly Christian, the family practised Judaism at home; later generations became totally assimilated.
LOPEZ, RODERIGO (c1517–7 June 1594), Marrano physician and alleged conspirator. … About 1563 he married Sarah, the young English-born daughter of Dunstan *Anes; they practised Judaism clandestinely. Having been physician to the Earl of Leicester, Lopez was in 1581 appointed physician to Queen Elizabeth and her household. He seems to have participated in court intrigues. In 1584 ‘Lopes the Iewe’ was reputed in an anonymous Catholic anti-Leicester tract to be a poisoner and an abortionist. In 1586, a turncoat adherent of a claimant to the Portuguese throne, Dom Antonio, whom Lopez supported, also damagingly linked Lopez to poisons. Lopez afterwards incurred the enmity of the Earl of Essex for telling Dom Antonio and King Philip of Spain’s former secretary of the venereal diseases for which he had treated Essex. Subsequently, Lopez’s courier and another man, arrested by Essex’s agents, alleged that Lopez intended to poison Elizabeth on Philip’s orders. Although he retained the queen’s confidence he and two other reputed conspirators were convicted of high treason – the judge having made much of Lopez’s secret Judaism – and hanged, drawn, and quartered. He appears, in fact, to have been innocent. In the furore over his apparent treachery, Marlowe’s play The Jew of Malta, featuring a cunning wealthy Jew who betrays the island to the Turks, was restaged, and Shakespeare wrote The Merchant of Venice.
NUNES, HECTOR (HEITOR) (c1520–91), physician and merchant. … He settled in England in or about 1546 to avoid the Inquisition. His uncle, Henrique Nunes, lived from 1546–55 in Bristol, where he traded as a merchant, exporting baize to Portugal … In 1554 Hector was elected a Fellow of the College of Physicians, and in 1563 he served as a censor of the College with responsibility for vetting candidates for admission. He built up a fashionable medical practice. Lord Burleigh, a patient, became his friend and patron. In 1566 Hector married an Antwerp woman of Sephardic background. While ostensibly Anglican the pair probably followed Judaism covertly. As well as practising medicine Nunes traded with Spain and Portugal. In 1573 Queen Elizabeth granted him a 15-year monopoly of the import- ation of all kinds of Spanish wool for mak- ing felt hats; in 1577 this was extended for 20 years.

Robert Dudley
In the spring of 1559, it became evident that Elizabeth was in love with her childhood friend Robert Dudley.[58] It was said that Amy Robsart, his wife, was suffering from a "malady in one of her breasts" and that the Queen would like to marry Dudley if his wife should die.[59] By the autumn of 1559, several foreign suitors were vying for Elizabeth's hand; their impatient envoys engaged in ever more scandalous talk and reported that a marriage with her favourite was not welcome in England:[60] "There is not a man who does not cry out on him and her with indignation … she will marry none but the favoured Robert".[61] Amy Dudley died in September 1560, from a fall from a flight of stairs and, despite the coroner's inquest finding of accident, many people suspected Dudley of having arranged her death so that he could marry the queen.[62] Elizabeth seriously considered marrying Dudley for some time. However, William Cecil, Nicholas Throckmorton, and some conservative peers made their disapproval unmistakably clear.[63] There were even rumours that the nobility would rise if the marriage took place.[64]
Among other marriage candidates being considered for the queen, Robert Dudley continued to be regarded as a possible candidate for nearly another decade.[65] Elizabeth was extremely jealous of his affections, even when she no longer meant to marry him herself.[66] In 1564, Elizabeth raised Dudley to the peerage as Earl of Leicester. He finally remarried in 1578, to which the queen reacted with repeated scenes of displeasure and lifelong hatred towards his wife, Lettice Knollys.[67] Still, Dudley always "remained at the centre of [Elizabeth's] emotional life", as historian Susan Doran has described the situation.[68] He died shortly after the defeat of the Armada. After Elizabeth's own death, a note from him was found among her most personal belongings, marked "his last letter" in her handwriting.[69]
