Originally posted by blackpalacefan I think those on one side who wake up in cold sweats at the fact that parliament isn't 50% female, 10% black, 1.5% used car salesman should join forces with those choking on their tea when they deem there to be one too many black faces on the nightly news, because they are essentially the same kind of person. People, more often than not come to directly reflect what they most dislike on others. The rest of us who just want the government to do their job, or who aren't matching races on tv against dulex colour charts will just get on with things as per usual . Edited by blackpalacefan (26 Nov 2016 12.20pm) You make a fair point. Interestingly, it's not seeing too many black faces that bothers me. It is the minds of people who make these things happen. I can just see them sitting behind their little desks worrying about political correctness and ratios. It is so patronising on the one hand and misguided on the other.

I just fear that if seeing a couple of black newsreaders of an evening triggers such a reaction in you, then whatever truth there may be to an aspect of your thinking you more than overcompensate in an equally unfortunate direction. I can see why it happens on both sides, but it doesn't seem very helpful when anyone does it.

It this case, it is reaction to the times, or more accurately the experiences of a lifetime in Britain. Things have changed dramatically and not always for the better for someone born in 1964. We must all accept that we all have a different perspective and sometimes the best we can do is respect each others. You have probably guessed that In my life experience, I have gained a particular dislike for the middle class liberal who wants to tell us all how to think and ruling class who think they can brainwash us all for their own benefit.

Would that include those who could brainwash us into thinking multiculturalism and the presence of ethnic minorities in this country (though in fact black people have been here since Roman times) is not a negative thing?

I love it when people quote stuff like that. Like a trickle of visitors since 43AD has any relevance to the 300,000 plus immigrants coming here every year now. To answer. Allowing so many people to come here in a short time must have, and has had a serious effect on the country. Now I really can't be bothered to list the pros and cons but anyone who says there are no negatives are either deluding themselves or trying to delude others. The latter has helped create Brexit Britain. When people are told one thing and see another, they get angry. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (26 Nov 2016 2.08pm)

Re,my question,you dodged the point,no? Off for lunch now followed by Swansea match! You can use that term all you like but it won't alter facts about numbers. Multi ethnic societies do not have a good historical record. It has divided nations during war time and caused endless conflict world wide. The benefits seem to be rather unequally divided.
