Okay to start out i have nothing against any race i think we are ALL EQUAL but i do have an issue with foriegn people coming and living in my country and speaking their own language all the time. I feel that all the differnt natinalitys are destroying my countrys natural heritage. I have friends who arn't english who are lovely people but it does bother me when they don't behave like english people when they live here. If we go out there we have to follow their customs so why don't they follow ours? I don't think the olden days when other races were forced to be slaves is right because were all equal. I would like to hear your thoughts on this matter.

What American heritage? Minority culture and custom is just as much apart of American society since it was created as the anglo-saxon tradition, so why should I cow tow to the will of the white masses who are ignorant of history?


I'm fairly sure fru_bie is from the UK. We do have quite a history of immigration here, too, but nowhere near as much as the US. Our population is largely descended from the Anglo-Saxons that invaded in the Dark Ages. Not that that makes immigration bad, of course, just that we don't have the same 'melting pot' history (with the exception of London).
On the contuary, you have destroyed the Natives heritage by coming to their country.
I work in a grocery store, on top of living in Utah, which is full of immigrants from Mexico.
While it's a little frustrating at times that many of them don't speak a word of English beyond yes and no and thanks, it's not impossible to deal with.

Making the demand that people adopt your culture and abandon their own, just so they can live and work and support their family is very closed minded and childish.
because we have given imigrants the right to keep their heritage and belif system, now before i get into this, i really dont have a problem with culture, and ethnic people. but i do have a problem with the fact that people are bringing their own hate, discrimination and war like attitudes over to the west. but thats the cost, once you bring in the good, you also get the bad. and right now i think the bad is outweighing the good.

You really should present some objective evidence for this supposed 'hate, discrimination, and war like attitude' that was either non-existent in the West or based on data, not stereotyping.

I invite you to take a look at Nottingham city centre on a Friday night. The people born here are more than capable of providing their own hate, discrimination and warlike attitudes, and the amount of my friends who've been mugged or beaten up bears witness to that. If some immigrants are scumbags too, well, it's a drop in the ocean. There's twats all over the globe.

When you go to visit other countries you do not have to speak their language, why should it bother you when others come in and speak their native language? Would you be offended just the same if an American went to England to live and spoke American English-their native tounge? It's just the same, except you would just understand more words.

Natural heritage and custom comes from within and is passed down from family member to family member, it's not something that can just die due to a couple of foreginers coming to your homeland and simply, speaking their own language.

You say it bothers you when your friends "do not behave like English people". How exactly do you define the actions of a typical Englishman/woman? How could you define such a thing? A persons' actions are that of their own and they will act as they would. It's not the country that makes them act a certain way.
We all, after all do have minds of our own.


I said i doesn't matter if their tourists its when they come to LIVE in england pernamently. Thats the problem you can't define and english women because it doesn't exsist anymore.

I thought you would say that, so I added in both situations. A tourist and a person who has come to live in England.
I'm sure that there are people who are as the English women whom you define in your own way. But you still did not answer my question. What is your definition of a real Englishman/women?
just to clarify to the people saying about what happened in america with the native americans and taking land yes that is correct but however i'm talking about the UK because i'm british living currently in the west midlands.
. But you still did not answer my question. What is your definition of a real Englishman/women?

Thats the issue you can't define it anymore

I think they should have to speak english, as well, but I don't think they should be barred from speaking their own language in their home.


I respect their right to speak their own lanquages in their own home after all its their property.

I think people that come to live in England permenantly should learn English, as I hope anyone moving to any country would.

I live in a very white area, but in my school there is still an increasing amount of Eastern European pupils in the lower years. While they have every right to be here, in the education system, it's meaning that the school budget is being pushed because they're having to employ translators and personal assistants.

The only issue I have with immigration is that it's pushing the services to crisis point. (Maternity hospitals, anyone?)

The BNP preys on this insecurity, which makes the whole issue a little dangerous.

Once again i'm talking about england we are the natives
call me what you want, the last thing America needs is to have "trash" brought in from other countries by the rich Jews because they want cheap and easy labor.There is already a shortage of jobs and its already getting hard enough to get one in this country as it is. the last thing we need is for immigrants to come in and work for cheap money. That job could have fed a single mothers children. Instead its going to these Aliens.

But...you still don't like having foreign people in your country, and they're only ok if they're not in your country? Yeah, no, you're pretty racist.


No, I think I know where she's coming from; she feels can't act in her own culture in her own country. To me, I think that's unfair that we can't practice our own culture in our own country. I don't mind if foriegn people speak their native tounge, but when they speak to me, they have to speak English or Japanese because I don't know their language (Unless they speak Japanese or English). MmmmK?

It would suck if we truly were all equal. And be terribly boring.

I would have gone on and on about how each people with their own language, culture and heritage should have their own nation and GTFO everyone else's.

But now I really don't have that much good will, so screw them.


In death all are equal... neutral
