    even if the white population were only 51%, 9 years later, that still wouldnt mean white people were the minority in this country....

    Thanks for telling me how maths works.

    If there were only 51% white people in this country that would mean 49% is non-white, which would open the door for loads of mixed marriages and children. It would fall quickly from that. Easily.

    Who actually cares if white people do become the minority? I for one don't. I don't know much about this as it can't happen round here but does mixed race marriages in England not already occur?

    I find the splitting of the population into two groups of 'white' and 'non-white' pretty daft, what are the boundaries for these groups? If a mixed marriage results in a pale child are they white or non-white? What is the point?

    The majority of people don't, only the 2-3% of the BNP voters do. I think everyone else pretty much admires it.

    Black and white people have been getting married for ages - to each other (for clarification), and there's an increasing number of Asian and white people getting married also.

    Younger people increasing realise they have "options" and freedom to marry who they please, whether their parents approve or not. Including gay people getting partnerships also.

    You know it's so funny. 20-30 years ago some peoples parents were a bit uppity if a southerner married a northerner. Thankfully people are moving towards a position where they do what they want, regardless of what other people tell them is good for them, religiously correct, or what society or parents expect.

    I can't really understand that. Let me have a go though.

    If your friend is British then she has every right to live here regardless of skin colour, A Polish citizen has a right to live here also because they are European.

    I was trying to make the point that to catagorise people by colour is pointless

    I think the point being made is that a Polish person would be lumped in with "whites" and doesn't get included in discussions about immigrants/race etc. whereas the person who was born here but isn't white would be.

    So to take the OPs example, even though all the black/asian people were born here and are british they will always be seen separately from the "whites" regardless of the nationality of the white people.

    I think

    I think you should wind your neck in before trying to speak for everyone and suggesting that those who disagree with you are BNP supporters!.:mad:

    I damn well do care, I'm a white brit born and bought up in this traditionally white country, I don't want it to become unrecognisable and I CERTAINLY don't want to become a minority in my own country FFS.

    PS. There's very little left to admire about this country.:rolleyes:

    A lot of the Black / mixed race / Asian people on this country are British, so it is their country too. How would you become unrecogniseable?

    I wouldn't worry about it; we'll all be dead by then.

    Interesting.
    How far back do you think this goes?. I mean probably way over half of us could trace our ancestry back to Romans, Vikings not to mention all the French and Germanic invaders that have coming here for thousands of years. Pretty much the whole country probably has that mucky foreign blood in their veins.

    If there's very little to admire about the UK, perhaps you should go and live somewhere you do admire. Flights abroad are fairly cheap these days :D

    I work at a busy hospital, and the other night a black nurse was moaning about minority's etc.

    Then I counted the staff.

    7 black/ filipeno/ asian nurses, and 2 white nurses.

    Why do you think this is?

    But the majority aren't like you so doesn't matter what you think.

    I think the majority of brits would like to see a minotry-majoraty race nation. Especially young people. I sincerely believe that.
