Th course of British Society in the future

It is funny that when America has racial and cultural problems with its much more diverse population... we are chastised as biggots and racists and such but...

As other socialist nations begin to feel the pinch of a fraction of our multiculturalism..  it is a mixture of fury and poor me that comes out.

Perhaps it is good.. perhaps you need to see just a tiny taste of what we deal with every day in numbers you could not possibly understand.

Good article.

In democracy, the only right we do not have is the right to offend.  You'll see that midway through the piece, but that's not the author's main point.

Enough of this folderol.

actually, a nursery school changed it to bah bah rainbow sheep so as not to offend black peeps.

we still see everyone as black/white/asian/muslim/whatever here. we don't see each other as equals, which is what is pissing us off. white brits take the back burner in our society because emphasis is on ethnic minorities, which is bloody annoying, seeing as we should all be treated equally. that's what is pissing people off, not racism, but our racism against ourselves.

anyone in britain is not seen as british, which they should be. instead people are broken into groups and some groups are given far more than others in an effort to be 'equal'

I've read some ill-informed & patronising comments on these BBs, but those above are classics.

The British Empire covered one quarter of the world's land area at it's peak. We have immigrants from all of these countries.  Many immigrants fleeing the Nazi occupation came to the UK. With EU regulations we have a recent influx of ex-communist bloc states.  How diverse does it get?

We've had multiculturism in the UK since the Roman invasion - 2000 years of it.

You'll be telling us how to suck eggs next.

Read some history.

Absolutely.  Multiculturism in the UK isn't the problem, it's the governmental, police and official hypocracy dealing with racial issues that causes most antagonism.

The only indigenous ppl in north America are red,in North America the caucasian population, was the beggining of multicultural North America.

   You were all immigrants once,or at least your ancestors were.

whiskey... maybe your soldiers knew multiculturalism...

You want to look at the makeup of your tiny little island and then look at the makeup of our country?   If you are 95% white it is easy to accept an indian resteraunt or two.

Where I work (Bradford), 40% of deliveries of new babies are black Asian - check it out, and there are more Indian/Tandoori restaurants in Bradford than any other type, which is fine because I like curry.
So if the majority are white, it's easy to accept a non-white minority?  That smacks of good old skin colour predjudice and ignores the fact that many immigrants in the UK are white.
What's with this "tiny little island" patronising approach?  Read an authoritative history book instead of watching Hollywood and write an essay comparing the relative contributions of the UK compared with the USA to world culture, science, language, invention, music, art, literature, law, government, sport and just about any other barometer of civilisation with the exception of space travel and the Foo Fighters and let me know your conclusions.

People should be judged on the contents of their character,that's it, full stop.





        The Bigotry and intolerance on these boards is really starting to depress me.

Space travel was made possible by some very clever men from Germany. It just so happened they were working in the USSR and the USA at the time.

Including Native Americans...  We came across the Bering Land Bridge about 14,000 years ago.

Even though a portion of my family tree goes thru the Pima of Arizona, I know that I am of African origin.  I have traced my ancestry to a small austrolipithicine village on the shores of what is now Lake Tanganyika...  before that the paper trail gets lost.
