The fascinating thing for me is, that those who feel culturally under attack from foreign societies are celebrating a Britain that is a product of the influences of those same groups. We were inspired by the mathematics developed in Islamic societies during the middle ages, and we built on their foundations - 'stood on the shoulders of giants' as Newton would say - in the enlightenment, with its love for Physics and Maths.

We eat curries from India, drink Chinese tea, play Moorish guitars and have a political system developed by the Greeks. Not that this is something we should be ashamed of by the way, we too have enjoyed and enhanced these great inventions. But rather it should inform us when we decide to stigmatise a whole community, particularly one as diverse, philosophically and culturally rich as that of Islam on the actions of a few.

Where did I say it?

Can't believe I have to show your quote on a previous post you made. But that's the type of fella you are.

Did I mention my tolerance of common sense?

Anyway, here it is:
"
Rather, it is an institutionalised dictum which has been generated by the establishment, and one which some - but thankfully always a minority - of working class people have been swayed by."

No mention of middle, upper, or snobs. Snobs just so you know, can be any class.

If you want you can post another great history lesson, or address your,remarks towards the British working class, who come from all backgrounds.
And clarify to me if your quote was racist or not.
