Racism in uk

So... extra day off for Eid then for the Muslim kids.
When do the Christian / non-Muslim kids get their extra day off?
( you can't count Christmas/ Easter - everyone gets those off).

I'm not saying it's not desirable for those carers to speak English well but the point is those jobs are very, very hard to fill. There aren't loads of fluent English speakers queuing up to take them. We are totally reliant on low-skilled immigrants who often speak little English to staff care homes and hospitals. If we suddenly 'send them all back' as lots of people seem to be advocating, who is going to do those jobs?

Don't stay but then don't also complain of ghettoisation when all the white people leave.

Exactly. Not to mention those bastard vikings.

Well, they are coming to the UK in fewer numbers than other places, for the most part. But sometimes it's driven by the fact that they can speak English, so it makes sense to go to a country where they speak the language. Or sometimes there are relatives here who came over during Windrush. Or sometimes it's just the first place they felt safe, so that's where they stopped.

The latest Govt hate crimes stats show that a Jew is approx nine times more likely than a muslim to be the victim of a hate crime.

Where are these 1.47 billion Indians in the UK? I haven't seen them.

Where is this community? Apparantly only 2% of UK Muslims speak no English. 90% are either fluent or consider it their first language. Are you suggesting the 2% all live together in a specific place? Where is that? I've never heard of it.

We aren't causing havoc anywhere.

Loads of countries sell weopons, France is currently ranked as the world's second-largest arms exporter, after the United States.

Tell me a predominantly Muslim country thst would tolerate a Mass in a public area? None is the answer. The UK however is fantastically diverse and inclusive and allow all manners or religious events in public places. You should be proud.

Pupils celebrating Eid receive authorised religious observance absence, as mandated by government.

If a school chose to close, they can re-assign an INSET day, use an existing contingency day if the school built any into its calendar or adjust the calendar slightly, so that it still meets the 190 teaching days.

Just as it is not racist to criticise Israel. Nor would it be racist to criticise theological issues within Judaism, Christianity, or any other religion.

I think people tend to conflate "Muslim" with "middle Eastern" and base their criticism on that...which IS racist.

A supplier of mine at work told me proudly today that he is a racist! Wasn’t shocked that he was but shocked he said it! He’s about to go to Australia to visit his daughter who has moved there, I should’ve said maybe she’ll experience racism being an immigrant herself! Don’t think he’d see it though

Old being the operative word! Anyway I’m off to move to Italy- bloody Romans what have they done for us?

Because the population of India is 1.47 billion 😂

India was the richest country in the world before Britain colonised it and left behind division and death.

Why shouldn't the people from the sub-continent come to where they speak the language and are familiar with the culture?

When... a weekend ? 😂

Why would you stay in a ‘community’ where people make no attempt to learn English? Would you feel comfortable in that environment?

Even more important they they speak the language- unless you think its OK for your granny to not be able to understand what her caregivers are saying?

Bullshit. Have a look at the thread where a woman posted about her Pakistani neighbours bringing her food every week. So many stories of Muslims being generous to non-Muslims.

Just because Muslims don't want to do some things (drink alcohol, get pissed, go clubbing) doesn't mean they don't integrate in their own way.

lol. So you are suggesting that these people coming to Britain would rather the British Empire still existed and think that their countries were better under British rule??? Now they’re not under British rule they think the next best thing is to come to Britain? Well that’s a whole new take I’ve never seen before, not something I agree with and glad the Empire started to disintegrate well before most people alive now were born. Gives everyone a chance to move on. It’s not great one culture striding into another and imposing their culture on the host as often happens during empires

In what way do you feel that having neighbours that are not white British has made your area worse? This doesn't resonate with me at all. Our local mosque is an asset to the community, arranges all sorts from baby classes to wellbeing sessions, litter picks and a curry van with free meals for people who are struggling for food. The local businesses have elevated the area, planting flowers outside restaurants and shops, and I genuinely don't see any problems. What is happening in your area that you'd like people to see and listen to your concerns about?

But Brits are still causing havoc in the world, arming regimes with weapons.

You can take immigrants and refugees as reparation.

It doesn't negate the fact that Muslims are highly unlikely to integrate with their white British or even Black British neighbours though.

Oh, that old chestnut.

If they are in employment they will have learnt the language- as they should.
