I’m not sure what counts as British, but to me, Leroy sounds most likely to be a Black American, or perhaps a white American from the South.

@mcmullin@musicians.today That's a good point! I know a name name has complex history and this is a reminder growing up and watching British TV (I've not had a TV since moving out in 2012) how reinforces various bits of coding by giving a name like that to UK characters - shaping a new perception - even if its associations come more from Black American contexts. :)
