I'm black American. I have way more culturally in common with a white American than I do with an African, a West Indian, a black Brit, a black Dutchman, or a black Frenchman. Colour does not equal culture, and all too often, people who have questionable attitudes toward race fail to understand this.
I think they do understand it.
They know the thoughts in their head are unnacceptable to the majority so use the term 'culture' to verbalise their thoughts in a more palatable way.
But having a different skin colour doesn't mean a different culture And different cultures aren't that bad they've been happening in this country for thousands of years.
Quite. What difference does a person's skin colour matter, such that Britain might lose its 'identity'? Should we restrict Scotland to redheads? Kick all the blonde-haired folks out so we can maintain our Anglo-Saxon heritage? Of course not. Worrying what skin colour the country will be is equally stupid.
So why aren't you jumping up and down about all the white immigrants and the cultural changes they have brought to the UK?
Why are you only whining about the colour pf peoples skin in relation to culture?
I didn't create this thread, or others like it! I am just responding to those who seem so keen to eradicate white majority from this country, and the rest of Europe it seems!

I would say Britain has more in common with America than it does with the rest of Europe, culturally and no matter the skin colour just the language for a start

Nope, nobody's eradicating anything. Evolution is just the way of the world.
That does surprise me. I am Scottish myself (my children born England)
I love my old country and wish I could move back but I've been here too long and most of my family have died out now. I've never seen what you describe, I always thought Scotland welcomed immigration much more than England seems to
They did. I got hassle of two drunks the whole time I was there. I think you may have misread me, but I got less hassle in Scotland, (a majority white place) than I did in the USA (more of a "melting pot.")
"We're all Jock Tamson's bairns" was certainly a truism.
Why does it matter if Britain 'loses' it's culture anyway? What is British culture? Watching the X-Factor, watchign corrie, getting drunk on fridays (like everyone else), umm.....
Nope, nobody's eradicating anything. Evolution is just the way of the world.
Exactly, the world population is now nearly 7 billion (next year), and was only 1 billion or something just a century ago. The world changes so fast with more and more different people and cultures erupting.
That's the problem with being politically conservative, is that you'll always lose.
No I have problem when people have a go at immigration, ethnic minorities etc, almost denying them the chance to live here to preserve a 'white race' because it's allegely a part of British culture.
There's a great big world out there, why does everyone want to come over and cram themselves onto this little island?
If that's allowed to continue as you would like the place would turn into a total shitehole.
Well, the cats do mainly interact with the black person in the house, but that's because I feed them. My husband on the other hand, is very cat-ist and has nothing to do with them. I tell you, it's like Selma in that house...
One of the things I love most about British culture is our "live and let live" attitude and the way we borrow from other cultures and make them our own.
A Friday night curry or chinese take-away has become a typically British thing to do but was unheard of 40 odd years ago.
For those so worried about the "erosion" of British traditions and the taking over of our culture I suggest you turn your attentions to the Americans as they have done more over the last 60 years to influence our culture than any other nationality put together!
Nah it isn't mate. I'm cynical to the point of nihilism, but thankfully, the kids of today don't even notice their friends are from different cultures or colours. I see all kinds of kids hanging out, joking around, doing stuff like that and it's a wonderful thing.

Turd??? is that how you win in agruments by calling names?!!!:rolleyes:
You are white, but you dont care if your own race dies out?! well I frikin do!!! sounds like blatant bloody racism to me!!!
You may not be a racist, but sounds like your a hater.
I have read many of your posts, and thats all I can see in them. :rolleyes:
because unlike some I understand that some of the thoughts in my head are offensive and that makes my argument counter productive.

We're all culturally european if anything so.:)
erm, i have said NOTHING thats offensive!!!
It certainly comes across with some posters that they hate whites and want to make us extinct! :rolleyes:
It's not all about you.
I am calling you a turd because you make my blood boil.
White as a race is not going to die out. There is no racism. Why would I hate my own race? Or any other race for that matter?
The only one here that is a hater is you. You can't stand to see anything other than white can you?
I never said it was, but you IMPLIED that I had been offensive

Me apparently. And I'm white myself. :rolleyes:

Furthermore who said that white people need ot be extinct?
I said I wanted a more equally racial Britain I think, but not extinction? Unless we all became mixed raced?
I think you should check out the T & C's if you have a problem with me, then put me on your ignore list.
i work with people from every back ground, like people from all walks of life, i was just making an observation.
By saying you wouldnt care if the white race died out, whether your white or not, signals RACISM!!
My cats make more sense than the OP and a few of the posters.
