Ethnic minorities who don't learn about their culture are a disgrace?

I don't think so...why should they have to learn about it and not the ethnic majority? Plus, some families purposely don't teach their children their native language in hopes to assimilate them to their new culture.

They should learn about it because it's where their parents/ancestors come from. It's their history they should take pride in it. You'd be amazed how many asian people (this includes orientals) that don't learn about their own culture and instead throw themselves into the "British culture" - whatever that is anyway - turning their back on their heritage.


Parents who don't teach their kids the value of knowing where you came from are bad parents and in my own opinions disgraceful as they betrayed their own DNA.

I think it's still a personal decision. If your only connection to the culture of your heritage is you appearance, why should that be important to you?
I'm not an ethnic minority, but I'm American with 5 different European countries in my heritage and I don't see the need to learn about them. In high school I had friends who were African American but none of their relatives are straight from Africa so why would they want to learn about their heritage?

Who are you to judge?

It just sickens me tbh. When I see a chinese person that can't read or write chinese. Or a south asian person that has no clue how to speak whatever language their own parents/ancestors speak.


Learning about cultures is incredibly interesting. When the UK one is so bland I wonder why many of you love to pander to the british one instead of your own.

If you are so obsessed with the culture you originated from, why dont you go and move into that culture?

Why should you take pride in a culture that you just happened to be born into? Isn't taking pride in something only valid if it is your own achievements? You can follow and appreciate that culture if you like but why is it an obligation? Also culture isn't embedded in DNA.

A Chinese Brit shouldn't have to learn a whole language that has basically no use here just because you think they should.

I know a bit about part of my culture & heritage but I consider myself English and British first and foremost as that's where I was born and grew up.

The UK is ****ing great by the way.

Okay well do you look English?

ps: I agree that the uk is great because it's so diverse. Also I applaud you for at least taking an interest in your parents background.

Never visiting your ancestor's/parent's homeland is also in poor taste imo.

Alright cheers, but why should looking English have anything to do with it?

Would a Brit of Polish descent be alright to not learn Polish, but a British Pakistani have to learn Urdu?

This all seems very racist to me.



I can't really afford to go to the Caribbean. Burn me at the stake for I have sinned.

Every time you look in the mirror you'll see that you're different to the native majority of the country you inhabit one should strive to learn about their own culture and traditions instead of stripping it all away in a bid to conform to gain wider acceptance by said natives. It's pathetic tbh and cowardly.

There's nothing wrong with being proud of your culture/country. I encourage anyone who has something positive to be proud of. Instead of making up rules about what you can and cannot be proud how about you encourage young ethnic minorities to do a bit of soul searching. Never visiting your ancestor's/parent's homeland is also in poor taste imo.
