"I understand that we now have to live with them".
WHat you said there is a bit... Dodgy :P We've been living with different cultures for years, way into the Empire years too :/ So saying "now" suggests it's a recent thing, and I'm guessing you're not 100+ years old :P
But the general jist of what you said is a bit true, you could say too much effort goes into having a sense of equality in advents and TV programs, but on the plus side they're interesting and relevant, the mixture of different cultures in TV shows make them more interesting - gay, bi, indian, pakistani, asian (though strangely quite rare in soaps lately...) and so forth. Normal whitey tighty brits are boring :P
And do you hate the Pakistani postman because he's not English, because I better press the report button if you do :P The character isn't made out to be annoying, nor does he have any negative attributes to his character, so hating him for anything else other than his race seems a bit odd :/
Political correctnesss gone made, quite frankly we are the laughing stock of the world. Oh and Ryan, i'd love to see you in some whitey tightys. ;)
If you're gonna talk about Britain as a whole, id suggest you think about Britain as a whole and not just where you live. Different cultures aren't exactly rare.
Sensing some slight prejudice in your post.Quote:

I see black/Indian people on tv all the time, I think there's about 7 or 8 non-white people out of 1k in my school. I just thought it's more common in certain parts.
well in my college it's at least 20% non-white.Quote:

And no, it's not because we let 'scum' into the country. Yeh the laws on immigration could be tightened, but the fact is that ethnic groups tend to live in the poorer parts of towns and cities making them more prone to crime.
when eid came there was like half my school still in
Indians/pakistanis tend to live together in areas where you wouldn't see them unless you went there, then they obviously have to go to their local town for the shops/bank etc which is the only other time you might see them. Black people do seem to mix in a but more slightly in terms of where you live, like you are more likely to have a black person living on your street than having an indian/pakistani family on your street. Pakistanis are either non existent in an area or have taken over the area, they don't mix in with us and from what I have seen they don't want to either.
More on topic, when they have black people on TV I think that is to help us get use to living with them but when they have these massive indian/pakistani families I think that is purely so they don't feel left out and start complaining about it.
you lot should probably come up with some 'final solution' then
The fact is that scum gets in, from Europe, from Asia and from Africa. I'm sick of being all PC about it, yes we have criminals here - but we do not need more from the rest of the world.Quote:

Yes there are many black chavs but you are most likely to get attacked by the white ones.Quote:

Um, the bits i've underlined are very very close to the mark. Your use of the words 'breed' and 'infested' sound alot like you're comparing these people to animals and not wanted ones at that. You may want to rethink what you've just wrote there.Quote:

Thats double standards :S
I personally don't see whats wrong with trying to integrate minorities (ethnic or otherwise) into our tv programs. It helps to stamp out prejudices which people might have, though clearly it's had the opposite effect on you.
I think he was suggesting that by the tone of quite a few of these posts it seems as though this is quite a racist topic. The OP isn't talking about immigration, he's talking about people who's family have probably been here just as long as his own acting in our tv programs, and why this is supposedly a bad thing. It's got nothing at all to do with his stance on immigration.Quote:

Atleast the ethnic minority in this country don't abuse every white person here like when some whites go to India. Their behaviour is terrible. One white girl (I believe she was Australian ... but thats not the point), in the Taj Mahal was treating the poor so badly I wanted to go shout at her.
Just to add:
This forum's two owners are not White/British. The richest man of this country is Asian.
