A man who lives in the ghetto of the mind, and who gets rewarded handsomely for doing so by the liberal establishment. <BR/><BR/>Compare and contrast Lewis Hamilton and his family. Very similar stories, but you won't find Hamilton banging on in mock patois about de whate man an' de oppressian an' de sufrin. He's too busy working hard and being brilliant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-76731171303979092322007-04-27T08:37:00.000+00:002007-04-27T08:37:00.000+00:00but I'd personally only describe one of them as "E...<I>but I'd personally only describe one of them as "English" or "British".</I><BR/><BR/>Sure that's not simply your personal preference being articulated as a "policy"<BR/><BR/>There are Germans and Indians more "culturally English" than Ian Wright; and isn't that the Hari Kumar Problem from Jewel In The Crown ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-72671679497285951192007-04-27T07:29:00.000+00:002007-04-27T07:29:00.000+00:00I'm not strictly sold on your idea of "racial-poli...I'm not strictly sold on your idea of "racial-political splits", it is not a simple "black and white" question (pun intended).<BR/><BR/>For example; take the footballer Ian Wright MBE, one of the greatest strikers England never had (IMHO), and then take Benjamin Zephaniah OBE-refused, both black, both english born, but I'd personally only describe one of them as "English" or "British".<BR/><BR/>This is a cultural thing, not racial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-53669371935646968672007-04-27T06:21:00.000+00:002007-04-27T06:21:00.000+00:00LabanThat's a very interesting article from Andrew...Laban<BR/><BR/>That's a very interesting article from Andrew Green that you link to.<BR/><BR/>I have searched fruitlessly for a political party that has formulated a sensible and just immigration policy.

Yes - our country is superior to yours (after all that's why you're willing to leave everything behind in trying to come here) but we're not a charity nor can our water supply cope with many more people (there is the severest of droughts right now).<BR/><BR/>So - if you can prove that Australia will benefit by you coming here, then fine, you're in.

Good luck with that. <BR/><BR/>'...And if you’re outraged at the manner in which all Asians are being tarred with the terrorist brush abroad, hear what Samuel Fatai, a 24-year-old Nigerian studying at Delhi University, has to say: “I’ve been called kalu, Habshi, Negro, all sorts of names. I’ve felt insulted so often on flights — airhostesses have a way of letting you know how unwelcome you are, and Indians excel in it. I have been strip-searched at most Indian airports even before 9/11.”<BR/><BR/>The worst came after the Rahul Mahajan cocaine scandal, when Fatai was picked up by the Delhi police and kept in illegal confinement for three days. Why? They suspected he was a cocaine peddler. Says Fatai wryly, “Indians don’t want to make friends with a black man. Unless, of course, they get cocaine at discounted rates.” He echoes what most people of African descent will tell you in a candid moment: Indians are among the most colour-conscious and racist people in the world.'<BR/><BR/>http://www.sikhnet.com/sikhnet/discussion.nsf/by+topic/5AC8E581CF928382872571D800040923!OpenDocumentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
