There is a British ethnicity. Just like Germany. German citizenship isn't based on ethnicity either. Being German, like being British (and unlike American) is an ethnicity. While anyone (literally) can become a British citizen, nobody can become ethnically British (except by birth). This is a starting point of exclusion that America does not have. That isn't to say that America will not have the problems, but that assimilation is likely easier there.

It has everything to do with the gang problem. You euros thought that multicult would work, it hasn't. Your future will resemble the future (and past) of the earth. Ethnic violence and a quest for domination. This isn't the "fault" of any one group more than the other. Cultures just don't mix that well sometimes.

This isn't exactly a controversial statement. You don't have to look very far to find an academic or pundit that asserts our future is one of increasing ethnic violence. What is perhaps not so welcome, is that this violence will be on the streets of Paris, London, Malmo and beyond.

As a second gen hispanic in the states I am getting tired of all the whining. I am all about immigration. It is good for the country and makes for a healthy population.

HOWEVER, if you move to a different country guess what you might have to change the way you do things. If you want to continue to kill your teenage daughters for not marrying the man you choose or for going on a date then perhaps you should stay where you are.

If you want to wear a burka covering your entire body then don't expect to get a drivers license. Guess what sucks to be you. If you want to wear a veil to school and not change during gym class then stay in your own country and have yourself a good ol' time.

Don't come to America expecting us to change EVERYTHING so your sensibilities aren't damaged. The Chinese maintained their culture quite nicely and don't have to go around wearing "ques" and "imperial dress" to do so. Hispanics damn near have their own holidays Cinco De Mayo is a holiday in some states. We have maintained a connection to our home country and I never wear a sombrero or sarape to work to prove what a good mexican I am.

If you want to practice your religion fine but like it or not America is secular. You don't get to set up another country. You can practice your religion at home or in a Mosque as much as you please but to exist successfully some compromises have to made.

AGAIN, you cannot kill any family members for "honor". Sorry we frown on it. You only get to have one wife. Sorry sucks but that's the way it is. You cannot marry off your 13 year old to her uncle. Well okay maybe in Arkansas....LOL.

We are all so mired in our political correctness and fear of hurting someones feelings. Tough *hit. Every single immigrant group in america suffered and then assimilated in some form or another. It isn't easy and I am glad for that.

I get tired of all the walking on eggs. You want to live in America well sucks but you have do some assimilating. If you want to have your life exactly how it was in India, Pakistan, Mexico or Korea then stay there and live in the culture you understand. If you want to live in America then you have to change somewhat. That is what makes countries strong and vibrant. Diversity tempered with pragmatism.

Much as Gramps would like to have kept his life the same as it was in Mexico he understood if he wanted to get somewhere he had to.....

1. Learn the language.
2. Send his kids to school.
3. Get a freaking job and don't expect handouts.
4. He wanted to stay so he became a citizen.
5. Work harder because nobody at that time was too impressed with a Mexican.

Not fair but life isn't ever fair. Not then and not now. Black people have made alot of strides and it wasn't easy. Every inch was fought for and the battle continues. But they do not want their own state they want the opportunities everyone else has.

I don't give 2 shakes is this is not P.C. My family worked hard and made it. They gave up some of their customs for everyday life to live in a country that allowed them to work hard, make money and become successful. They were called spics, wetbacks, and a myriad of other crap and guess what we all survived the name calling and got our revenge but being educated and successful. Without whining. Without complaining about how it is so unfair.

Suck it up. If you want to live in Britain....then understand it ain't like home and you might have to change to survive and be successful. Isolation breeds distrust. If you can't change...stay the hell where you are.
