Does multi-culturalism exist in England, would you like a family of Pakistanis living next door to you?

Mr curious	I dont care who I live next door to, as lond as they are nice and kind, I dont care.

manforallseasons	People are people, simple as that, and as that is the truth, yor question is deemed racist.

abiamto	i wouldnt care who lives next door as long as they live and let live.

jools	I have a family of Asians living above me and they are no trouble at all. If anything, the problem is your lack of tolerance.

enigma_variation	i do have a family from Pakistan living next door and they are the nicest neighbours i have ever had, actually feels like im living in a community for once

McAvoy21	I've never supported the idea of multi-culturalism, only racial-pluralism, thus, many races living within one culture. Multiculturalism deters cultures to integrate and assimilate with the rest of the people and builds up barriers between communities in communities. And no, i've had a pakistani neighbour for 5 yrs, his house smelled freggin awful and he was the rudest f*ker ever. I'm so glad he moved out last year. I can start breathing again without the smell of curry seeping into my bedroom windows.

KungFooKid	No!! Purely on the basis that i cant stand the smell of FUC KING! curry.

Chris R	Firstly, I'd just like to say im against the idea of multiculturalism. I hate the idea of my country and my culture being destroyed by a nasty mix of cultures, be they foreign, or new British cultures ie the chav culture. But I'd have no problem living next to to Pakistani's, as long as they were nice people, and they respected my own British culture.

intruder3906	Hahaha i find your question intriguing, first i wonder just how many people who have answered your question have ever lived in the same street as a pakistani family never mind next door.......... I lived in a street a while ago and was the only non pakistani in the street.!!,i lived there for 3 years during riots in Bradford,..they were helpful considerate and generous people, i never felt threatened in any way....They do tend to swarm into an area and colonise it rather quickly, which unfortunately tends to lower the property values, and they do tend to cook all day which does create a garlic and onion odour which never goes away. I dont wish to live in that scenario again, they were really nice people but its not what i wish now.....

LYN W	I used to live next to a Pakistani family and they were really lovely people. Their children were always so polite. They were a pleasure to live next to.

reggie	Love it...at Christmas they could make us a lovely Turkey curry with all that left over meat....better than a turkey living next door

keith m	I have other colours both sides of me .And I find nothing wrong with them they are fine good people better than the white ones I had before they were crappy and nutters .I speak has I find .If good people I don't care what colour culture they are.I am white by the way

SANDRA F	No I would'nt this is all getting out of hand theres too many foreigners draining our poor little country and it needs to stop!!!!!

Bonzai Betty	I would not mind living next door to a Pakistani family here in the USA, because they behave differently here. I would not however want to live next door to them in England, because of their crappy mentality and their total lack of respect for their "new" homeland.

st.abbs	I lived next door to Pakistanis about 18 years ago and being perfectly honest I had no trouble with them, if they were celebrating they would always come to the door with various food dishes the women were o.k but the husband was horrible he used to come home drunk and beat up his wife and was forever chatting up women. Now I have moved to the Borders of Scotland this question will never arise as I have not saw any Pakistani people even in the street.

Bart N	Certainly it does exist, England became the best place to live in Europe, no problem, the Pakistanis are good people they simply want to have a normal life like we do, moreover that, we can learn many interesting things one from each other

bigal	above answers pre-suppose you have a choice of where you live.i.e.house owners.When you live in social housing you get the neighbours you're given,and you cant move out if they're not to your liking.Regardless of what ethnicity,,trash is trash

dr evil	Unfortunately, England is infested with the incoherent idea of multiculturalism, this has lead to ghettos where groups of people from the same culture live together. This breeds fear and mistrust, one group for another. Yes, you can have a culture with diverse cultural inputs provided different cultures integrate but multiculturalism is not only doomed to failure but a multicultural nation is a contradiction in terms. A nation is a people united by the common components of their culture.

Little Miss Alien	I'm not too sure of the wording of your question. Would I like to live next door to a Pakistani family? Well, I can't answer either yes or no to that. Would I be happy to have a Pakistani family move next door to me? Same answer. As long as they are nice, considerate neighbours I'm happy, whatever their culture. Would I choose to move to an area where the dominant culture is one that is extremely different from my own, perhaps with strong fundementalist roots? No, purely because I would feel out of my depth and would feel uncomfortable at being in a minority (I have been harrassed before). In my neighbourhood we've had Greeks, Mauritians, Italians and Germans, and I've not had a problem with it at all. And to those immature people who said things about the smell - I lived with an Indian guy, 2 Germans and a Greek couple at uni amongst my other housemates (all British) and it was the Greeks that created the worst smells in the kitchen, the Indian chap loved fry ups! Please don't judge on cultural appearances alone!

naturemonkeyirrepressible	Individuals don't act on each other in the way groups do. if one faimly of them moves next door its not so bad, if they then buy up the whole street & turn all the houses into a pakistani community how would you like that?

Damian P	i have lived in flats next door to Asians many times , and they are always the quietest and best behaved neighbours who have respect for others ie don't play loud music and don't have their kids screaming and running riot. As the guy above said i would much rather have Asian neighbours than a Racist toerag thieving chav scumbag like you .(if you fit into these category's.) 99% of us on these islands are not as English, Scottish,welsh as we think , a recent BBC show about DNA got 5 BNP idiots and proved they're ancestry went back to Eastern Europe , Africa, Middle East , Far East etc , the look on there faces when they where told was so funny.

JT	no i would not like to live next door to a pakistanis family

seams OK	I don't want to move at the minute, but I wouldn't mind if a family from Pakistan moved in next door; nor would I object to moving in next door to one. We had some Turkish neighbours a few years ago and they were lovely people. It's the individuals and the family that are important, not convenient labels. I've been lucky enough not to know many 'bad' people, but the ones I have known have all been British by birth.

Dee	i'm indian.... i wouldn't really want to live with muslims next door. as i want to live in a community, not a community within a community. also, i don't want to hear about islam and muslims all the time.

Simmer	The vast majority of Britons are very tolerant in this country, maybe that's why we are the most multi-cultural nation in the world, and London is the most multi-cultural. I don't mind who ever lives next door to me, i'm a tolerant person

Mikala T	I can't see the difference between living next door to an asian family, a romany family, a portuguese family, a welsh family or a british family... they could all be very good or very bad! And let's face it - the british invented chavs!!!

Emma K	Pakistanis live in their own communities that they create for themselves. I wouldn't have a problem if one family moved in next door, but I'd deffinately consider moving house if they took over the area. I wouldn't move into a pakistani area - they don't accept our culture!

beanie	Oh please, let stop this ranting about Pakistani people. Live and let live.

Shiv	I dont know if multi-culturalism exist in England or not, but I would definetly not prefer to stay next to a Pakistani.

sofiaa_k	I dont live in the UK now but iam still answer this one...I live in sweden and yeas here it is... and I wouldnt mind living next to pakistanis...I would see it like whoever lives next to me...I dont care about where people are coming from or their religion or their race I see all people from their behaviour...

Brenno	Well,even though I consider myself rather open minded,I recognize that it's not always easy to get on with other cultures. I would prefer staying in a community of my same ethnicity
