I can remember watching Micheal Palin doing the Around the world tour, when he got back to London[he is very liberal] most of the people he talked to were from Pakistan or some foreign place. He said on the show he felt like an outsider in his own country. LOL
Well people its the camels nose under the tent. Liberals think its nice and cute to be friendly to those nice strange foreigners, it makes them feel like they are very cultured. But its not so cool when they bring in all those crazy costumes, like female circumcision or stoning a child because they talked back. They do not want to be Americans folks, they want to make America Chinese, or Pakistani or Afgan. They do not want to assimilate to our culture they want to make us assimilate to theirs. Say good buy to Mayberry folks, its going away and say hello to Baghdad.

I would move to Britain tomorrow if I could. Probably wouldn't stay forever, but I would give it a go


In fact, getting my European passport is on the list of things Ive been "looking into" for years so I could have the freedom of moving about Europe AND the US.

This is the only part of your post that makes a bit of sense.

Baghdad? A bit dramatic.

"Asians" in London are 18%, of which a large number of those Asians are not Muslim... but are Hindu, or east Asian. Lest we forget that Hindus and Muslims in India and Pakistan have their own history of infighting.


One can only hope that the immigrant tide from those religious areas isn't stronger than the ability of Euro-American culture's ability to strip away religiosity in favor of robust consumerism and humanism.

Racism is the act of assigning non-physical stereotypical attributes based on race or skin color ("all whites/Caucasians are racist" is a racist statement). It is also the act of discrimination based on race or skin color.

Being "upset" about white people leaving London is NOT the definition of racism.

Anyway, for what it's worth, here are the current demographics Washington, D.C.:

London's crime rates are pretty similar to "flyover america"

states like North Dakota and Minnesota and Iowa are pretty safe.

Read the book, "What To Expect When No One's Expecting: America's Coming Demographic Disaster" by Jonathan Last. Although America is in the title he talks about several contries with contracting populations and how their governments tried to fix the problem (mostly unsuccessfully).

it's amazing how ridiculous some peoples' definition of "racism" has become.

I gotta tell you, after New York and Chicago, London is my favorite city on the face of the Earth. It's got great entertainment, great food, super shopping, awesome public transportation. I visit often. Whether I am shopping, attending theater, or sitting in a pub, I never give that much thought to the racial mix of people around me.

I think only racists pay a whole lot of attention to everyone else's skin tone.
