I just feel sorry for this woman, she's just so stupid. When you're spouting such ignorant, ridiculous rubbish for everyone to hear it's a pretty pathetic.
I don't agree with that letter though, as an ethnic minority myself I can see we are not the backbone of England (mainly because we are a MINORITY).
Also, I don't get the whole blame game of "oh the British Empire f***** my country up the a*** so now we have to come live here". Yes, the British may have colonised numerous countries and obviously the indigenous were not happy with that, but why should the Britons of today apologise? You all didn't go and invade the countries! Will everyone who belongs to an ethnicity that once owned an empire apologise for what their ancestors did yonks ago? Don't think so. People just need to stop repeatedly blaming others for whatever's going on- if you're so bothered do something about it! Ethnic minorities continually complain we're unfairly discriminated against, and maybe we are in some instances but what people always forget is that we have pretty much the same rights and opportunities as the English, and that's something we should always bear in mind.
When I was in school in year 7, a girl once called me a p**i. I wasn't actually offended, as I'm not Pakistani I just laughed at her for being ignorant. When I went home and told my mum what had happened she told me something to me that has always stuck with me; that although some stupid racist people may think they're better than me just because of my skin colour, that means absolutely nothing because they're not. Racism will bother you more if you feel insecure in yourself about where you come from.
