I have not tried 'painting that picture at all!', go back and read again, unfortunately there are racist 'bigots' everywhere on the planet, however you can't just say 'Brits are racist'! Like a majority of the worlds population a vast majority of British people are not racist, I suggest you get out and see the world a bit more before coming out with such outrageous generalisations.

3 years ago, Brits were not racist.
Today, they are...
But in the USA, it is at its worst. If I were black, I would not go to the USA but no problem going to England.

I would say that's highly debatable.

Black Americans and White Americans aren't only racially and culturally different, they usually have different backgrounds. So in the case of the Englishman and Italian, its only culture and ethnicity, but in the case of a black and white person it's culture, ethnicity and race.

Three years ago Brits were not racist. Then today all of a sudden they are. Must be that racist pill they imported from their friends across the big pond. In spite of that, if you were black you would have no problem going to England.

Just wondering amaroW, did you have a bad night's sleep? Today you keep putting your foot in it.

The majority of White Americans are not racist either. Why do you think our president is Black and serving a second term?

Just for the same reason, you need to put a black president, a black cop/officer always in every movie, portray god a s a black person (morgan freeman) just because you feel insecure when talking about it, however you create countless of racial labels for your "minorities" such as "non-whites". Its clear you never been outside the US, it would be a eye-opener for you. Racism is highly institutionalized in the Anglosphere, unlike in most other parts of the world.

America isnt importing that much, 90% are mexicans crossing the border, and the southern areas in the US for long time have been in hands of mexicans.. just look at the names of the cities. Its not the same as somalians going to sweden, middle easterns going to germany or congolese going to french.

Also the concept of "West" is highly outdated, we are no longer in the cold-war.
