This is a rascist post. "Don't know how I'd feel being the minority in the UK though, say if my kids went to a school which was 90% plus non white or immigrants, or if we were the only white family in our street etc. I can understand why some folk might feel strange or uncertain about this..."
The Polish stuff is xenophobic and irrational and plain stupid. The above and all the others talking about 'non white' - is just so incredibly offensive and rascist.
What on earth does someone's skin colour have to do with it. There are many black British born and / or first generation migrant people of Caribbean and African and South Asian origin who suffer daily abuse and limited life opportunity because of this rascism. They share a culture, language, history and in many cases religion with the white majority sharing this patch of earth called the UK. Watch the same TV go the same schools and places of work, drink in the same pubs, holiday at the same resorts read the same papers so why should they not live in the same streets? And so what if the people living next door and the door up and all the doors along the road have different skin tones. They just want a roof over their heads, do their jobs and raise their families like the white majority.
Even those people and I include the Poles, Lithuanians, Hungarians etc who don't share our history or language and are much more 'foreign' than many of the 'non-white' people just want those things.
What the hell. I'm surprised that someone who claims to have lived abroad (we can only hope that this has been to work in some way that does not exploit poor people in the country they were born in) has the brass neck to come out with something like that.
Do as I say but not as I do springs to mind! That was the mindset of the old empire days. Long gone. Thank God. I just wish the current generations of backward thinkers would get over it and shut up and give all of our children a chance to carve out a decent future together!
