It does have a definite sound of being racist but when you see your nation failing to assimilate the new comers I can see why many of them would be afraid of the change that is coming. I wonder how many of the immigrants can speak English. I tires long ago of having to press 1 to get something in English and I guess that makes me racist.

I honestly don't understand what the problem is. We live in a global society, this isn't 1950. It is nothing short of ridiculous when a person in this day and age only knows a single language. If people learned another language or two they wouldn't be bothered by people not speaking English.

Grow with the times.

Nothing wrong with it... I rather live in the suburb than an overpriced cubicle in a building... I am not white either... If i were them, i would of left as well but i think it has a lot less to do about race...

Sad indeed but what do you expect when you let left wing/communists run the country.
The question is, why is the US and Britain and France just giving their land and culture away to immigrants?

I've read that France will most certainly be a Muslim country in the future. The most common name for a baby born in Great Britain is Mohammed now.

Will we wake up one day and expel these people to save our way of life?

I don't know. White Guilt? Afraid of being called racist? I really don't know and its disturbing to say the least.

I have always been about equal right for all Americans. I believe it was always the right and smart thing to do.

But someone way high up decided to dilute our country with wave after wave of ignorant immigrants. They may as well have dropped bombs on Minneapolis if you could see what he Somalis have done to it.

All these hardships like budget deficits, national debt and this absolute invasion of the ignorant 3rd world has to be a coordinated plan to bring the country down so they can remake it the way they want it.

They want this to be a country of 1 billion with a few super rich and the rest of us scrambling for their scraps.

The same old story throughout human history.

I'm glad I got to grow up at the peak of this country's history because the future is grim.

The white English were already a minority when I lived in London. White 'Britons' includes many people from Poland, Russia, Bulgaria, etc.

As a foreigner, I loved living in London. Truly a multicultural city. But I can sympathize with the Englishman over seeing himself a minority in his own capitol city. I just don't care. That's up to the Englishman.

Does the OP realize that London is a global city, much like NYC is? Seriously, he might be watching too much Downton Abbey.
