Ethnic Minorities - What do you think

[Seatherny]

saurav I don't think you could say anyone would blame an ethnic minority for anything because their lives are crap, that's stupid reasoning.

Many actually do. I have seen many of these discussions and they say "Why should I share my benefits with them" or "Why should they get our benefits" or "I am trying to get a job and why should a Asian or whatever get a job over me. I should get it before them". So by reading those comments, I think many do because of that. Or they are just plain racists.

I think what he means is, people blame alot of the current economic problems on the ethnic minorities in this country supposedly 'taking all the jobs' and 'stealing our benefits' because they are in such a bad place themselves. People tend to blame certain situations such as the current economic downturn on something which is infact entierly unrelated.

As for my opinion, I live by the rule that if someone doesn't offend me then I see no reason to pry into their lives or cast assumptions on how they live theirs. I see most days people taking benefits who have absolutely no intentions of changing their situation & as someone who is/was on jobseekers recently it does pain me to think I am being grouped together with these people, infact so much it stopped me from claiming for over a year when I was actively seeking work. Where I live the people doing this are mostly young, uneducated white people who are spending the money they get on drugs, drink and generally anything they don't need. They arent looking for jobs and they have no intentions of it. With this in mind, I don't see how anyone who is British dares to criticise ethnic minorities for coming over here and taking jobs and benefits. People who are white, British and able to work aren't doing and so to me it's a bit two-faced and it stinks of double standards to do so.

India once used to be the richest country in the world and then UK took over so anyone who moans ASIANS STEAL BENEFITS need to shut up and look at the fact that they have robbed so many countries.

exactly the attitude that makes me dislike different minorities

[Seatherny]

Oh so its ok so if you clean out a country but start crying the second they take a tiny bit of yours? Make full sense to me. My example was showing why UK is so rich in the first place. Yes they were clever by being able to control so many countries, but when people from those countries come and get a job, people start moaning.

Er no. If they are working legally, there is a thing called minimum wage. Yes some do work for less, but so do some white people?? Also tell me why companies such as Goldman Sachs and Mackenzie in London hire people from different countries? No, not for less money but for more!

I can tell you for a fact, if a different country took over and robbed UK, none of you would be happy.

I live in a city that has a lot of ethnic minority groups. I have nothing against ethnic minorities; so long as the people in them are here legally and are abiding the law and the British ways then that's fine. What I mean by 'abiding British ways' is that they're not trying to change everything... an example is in some schools Christian crosses weren't allowed to be worn... and in Birmingham there was a proposal to change "Christmas" to "Winterval"... Britain is a mainly Christian country so why should this be changed?

I am just patriotic and don't want what this country has had for hundreds of years to be lost. If certain ethnic minorities don't want to follow our 'rules' then they don't have to be here. :S

I hope you respect my views...

I agree with what you've said there, but the examples you've given of things changing are often implemented by busybodies at the local councils. They aren't often implemented as a result of the ethnic minorities themselves complaining so it's hardly their fault that the councils are petrified of insulting other religions.
