Would having a mixed race majority be one of the greatest days in British history??

It depends how obsessed you are by 'race' - in your case it seems, rather creepily so.


The day when people stop counting up the number of people with each skin tone would be a far greater day.

Why would you care if that happened? If everyone else in your village was the same culture as you (multiracial area definitely doesn't equal multicultural area) then what would be the difference to your hypothetical current white village?

A village full of black people with the same British culture as you would surely be much more similar to your current life than a village full of white Australian or French or American people with their own culture?

You've mixed up colour with nationality.
Unless you think only white people can be British, in which case :

What's racist about the indiginous population being the majority?? Isn't that always going to happen by design, with anything else being the result of conscious action- ie immigration?

Well depends. See I've always thought that people of other races like to impose their own culture, so in the end we would lose that "true British culture" that has taken centuries to mould. Depends what the hypothetical situation is tho... if it were black or Asian or whatever British people then it wouldn't be too much of a problem. I'd still feel alientated in my own backyard so to speak but still. But if it were black African or Asian Indian people example then I wouldn't be for it.

What im saying is that a lot of people come to england and change the culture, however then moan about for example a small village in france having too many english people and ruining the heritage

Who does that though?! Unless you think building a few mosques or whatever is changing the culture, but to be honest most mosques are architecturally beautiful buildings and it's not like they're forcing anyone inside one any more than churches force people inside them.

And why would only non-white immigrants change the culture? It's not like all white people have the same culture.

95% of immigrants probably speak better English than a lot of English people, and children of immigrants tend to not even have an accent (apart from a Newcastle/etc one or wherever they live).

You can't say that about a lot of British people who retire in Spain!

I dont know when color came into this. And a lot of imigrants (not all) make no effort to intergrate into society and stick to their own groups. So immigration is ok as long as its not english people moving abroad?

Walking on eggshells here...

We seem to have a unique attitude to this in the UK. If anyone so much as challenges the idea of multiculturalism they are labelled a nazi and obviously must vote BNP.

I think it would be sad if native white people became a minority here. Why? Because we've been here for thousands of years, we're still here, and I don't want to see us go to be honest. It would change our countries. Wales wouldn't really be Wales anymore if there were no native Welsh people left, and I love Wales. I think we should be careful with this. It's just an ideological thing, I think it would be a shame if it came to that. Then again, continuing to use Wales as an example, this is only really a massive issue in the big cities really so Wales dodges it a bit.

Race and diversity is such a touchy thing in the UK when really it should be ok to have a mature, open debate on it. It's great to have other cultures here, but we should preserve our own as well.

I never said that. I said that most immigrants into England make an effort to become part of the country. A lot of British retirees in Spain don't make that same effort.

I think everyone should make an effort to learn the language and local customs if they plan to live somewhere permanently. If I was going to work in the middle east for a few years I wouldn't stop celebrating Christmas, but I wouldn't expect to see huge christmas trees in towns or anything like we have here. But equally, I probably wouldn't permanently move there because I'd miss too many of the things we have in England.

I wish i could say that imigrants near me make an effort, but they dont. Plus i think the english are partly to blame as we celebrate st patricks day more than st georges
