You are just a spoilt brat

redwhiteandblue.

you speak the truth my friend..well done. but beause you do you will be called racist. its the way this country is these days. its a case of the tail wagging the dog..the government is all to quick to pander to the minorities and scre w the majority.

It's not wrong to want a cultural identity...but one of the things I love about my country (America) is the diversity. I do understand your frustration, though. It seems sometimes as though different cultures just want to come in and use our land and profit from our economy without joining the rest of us as a community.

I have to agree on some points with you, but I blame a lot on the government in this country, after all if we went to live in European countries would we get the same hand-outs as the immigrants, the answer is No!. I know in Italy they are allowed to stay for 3 months and if they do not find work they are deported out of the country and they don't get the same hand-outs as they do in Britain (eg houes etc) I don't blame the immigrants for coming to Britain because it's the Land of Milk & Honey for them with all the hand-outs I expect a number of Brits would emergriate to other countrys if it were made easy for us.
I think I will vote BNP It's not a race thing, it's a British thing.
It's apparently a crime to want to be British and proud.

jim g and montreau couldn't have said it any better. That is
exactly how the Native Americans felt 300 years ago. Some
of us still feel that way.

If you come to this country you should respect our culture. Why is it alright to raise chickens, goats and corn in your front yard...

It's not racist to want to preserve our national identity.
Political correctness has gotten completely out of hand.
Nationalism isn't illegal in any other country, I don't know why illegal aliens feel they have a right to invade and demand that we change our country and our culture to make them feel more at home. And to call us racists when we chose not to accommodate them.

If they don't like our culture and our way of life then they should go back to where they came from.

If you come to the U.S., come here legally, learn English, and become an American! That's what my immigrant ancestors did!!!

Im totally 100% with you Jim, im sick of the way they all come over here and act as if the laws of the land dont apply to them and look down their noses at the people who were born and bred here, and im also sick of the way the government kowtow to them, and the way if any of us complain about it were branded as racist simply because the people branding us as such dont have a valid counter to our argument

I`m with you Jim G. And if that makes me racist so be it. I don`t give a feck!!!
BNP got my vote the last time and they will get my vote the next time. And if the sheep can`t see why, then I pity them!

Do they make you less english? No.

Are you still english? Yes, if that's your thing.

Other than that, cultural identities are not something you can enforce on a mass scale - the culture is by definition the composite of everything that is happening 'now'. If the identifies of other nations hadn't changed in the last 50 years, then we'd have some pretty horrible problems to deal with. Culture is also less bound to geography now - there are fragments of cultures from all countries, embedded in all countries.

I'm glad things change over time. Aren't you?

I will follow you commander! Preach on. Im tired of the whole thing too. Its only racist when its white. well fk em. we have a culture too, we are proud of our race too. its time for a change.. they way they wanted it didnt work or amount to anything...

LOL

I think the ignorance is summarized by the guy or girl who said that its not ok to rear chickens and goats in youre front yard.

For a second I was thinking of a serious reply, but you cannot reason with absoulute ignorance.

Its sucjh a shame really, especially that these racists are my fellow countrymen.

suppose you got to laugh, or you will cry

That must have been a real effort for you, but you deserve praise for making that effort.
In a few years you will be dead, and every year after that until the earth stops spinning, immigration and emigration will continue. Eventually when your grave has been grown over and no one even knows it's there, a multi racial population will be walking over you.
Get used to it.

The problem is not immigration, but that we are now getting the dregs and floatsom who refuse to even adapt to becoming Americans. They only want our greenbacks, and those they want to ship home by the bucketfull. Still, those that come via the legal channels, I still stick out my hand in greeting. For illegals it is the back of my hand and the boot to the face.

Maybe I am going to receive many thumbs down, I dont care, but i need to say my point of view. I am an immigrant. I am Italian and have been living in London for several years. I don't think immigrants threaten your heritage or culture at all. It's the political correctness that is becoming silly. I, as a foreigner, find those solutions not to offend the minority absolutely ridiculous. I have read of that prison director that forbode the staff from wearing the St. George pin, because it would offend those who weren't English. I thought this hilarious and disgusting. And you can be assured that many other foreigners laughed at this news. Who on earth would be offended by someone wearing a pin? What about the foreigner flags that are displayed on many balcony? Why do politicians thing that foreigners can display their pride and nationalism and deprive it from you, calling it racism? Isn't this hilarious? I don't think a chinese would be offended to see a british flag in Britain!!! And what about the decision to change the nursery rhyme Baa Baa Black Sheep in Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep, because otherwise the black community would feel offended? Did they actually ask to the black community whether they would feel offended by a kid's song? These are insults to people's intelligence. And believe me, these decisions are not made by immigrants. You are being deprived of your heritage just by some stupid people that happens to be in power.

CRISTINA B: In Italy they do not deport immigrants. In fact, if you would care to read a bit of italian news or even the Italian version of answer, you would find out that Italians are dangerously racist. There's no equal opportunity so, if a foreigner, even if very well educated, tries to find a job in Italy, the employer can turn him down only on the grounds of his nationality. And I think this is disgusting. Do you forget that those -- oh so demonised -- immigrants are actually people? That if they leave their country is because they are starving? Do you think that anyone would deserve to live in poverty? Do you think that people should lie down and die just because they are not wanted by ignorant extremists living in much richer countries? What if this happened to you? C'mon, use your brain!

I was searching among the ranting for your question - I guess you're asking if you're a racist to want your own national identity. Well, no, that doesn't make you racist. You can enjoy any identity you want to enjoy if it feels right to you. Really, no-one else is bothered if you want to make a song and dance about being English, or British, or White, or whatever else it is. You ask, where's my culture gone, well it's all up to you! No-one else can give you a culture, it's something you have to find for yourself, and no-one is stopping you.

When you say you are anti-immigrant, that does sound racist. Why hate people just because they're different from you? What have they done to you?

j_emmans

You are not advocating Gas chambers or war so you are really only a sentimental dreamer more than anti immigrant. Have you noticed the successful countries in the world have immigration, this is a good sign. When you have people leaving a country it is in a very bad way. This has been the case for thousands of years and most people on Answers originated from a foreign country!

you might be better putting some of that energy into doing something constructive with your time

If anybody can ever prove to me that there even exist such a thing as a 'PC brigade' I will eat my trousers.

It you're a racist then so am I.
Immigrants have high jacked our country our customs and our way of life.That's a fact.
Time to get it back.
If I get a BNP candidate in my area.He will be getting my vote.
I was not asked to vote on multiculturalism.
I was not asked to vote on immigration.
I never wanted either.

TurdyTrousers

I think they're all wonderful social contributors- but then again they don't live in Islington with me and my fellow claret-quaffing Bourgeoisie Guardian subscribers.
I vote Labour to feel warm and fuzzy.

i agree with you our society is being destroyed

Mr Sceptic

This may be just a semantic point, but you claim to be anti-immigrant i.e. opposed to the individuals, the people who have moved from overseas to the UK.

To my mind, this is a racist attitude. You dislike people on grounds of their origins.

If you had claimed to be anti-immigration, i.e. opposed to the policy rather than the people, that seems to me to be a valid political point.

Maybe it's just where you live and where I live, but i don't see this mass invasion. My culture and heritage is as strong as ever. The fact that other cultures exist doesn't diminish my culture at all. My national identity is as strong as it ever was.

Why does your culture and identity depend on everyone around you being white and British?
