politically correctness

[Tommy]

The reason britain celebrates xmas and nothing else is because its a christian country! People in this country were originally all christian, and you shouldnt be complaining if you dont like it. We dont go round banning other holidays because its not fair! Jeez!

[Revis]

Apparently we're not a christian country any more but "multi-cultural".

Wrong. Prince Albert introduced the Christmas Tree to the world. And "winter lights" started on trees.

Well said, why don't we start calling "Diwali" the "Super light festival of fun"

Mmkay just a warning, don't start being racist on this thread because it seems as if some people are coming down on Hindus and Muslims as well as other religions. K?

Anyway, I think Britain is basically trying to make up for the whole Iraq thing, this is coming from an American so you may think that its more or less biased than a British person's view. However I think the government is going too far. They're going to make a mistake sooner or later, and then all their "politically correctness" is ruined and then they also lose the support of people who disliked them because of their rather extreme measures towards being "politically correct". So its going to end up badly no matter how hard they try. Wonder how long itll take before there's a riot :rolleyes:

How are people being racist? I'm sick of people that constantly say 'You're being racist' Just when we don't like something to do with hindu's/muslims/ whoever. Everyone's got a right to say what they like & don't like about someone.
For example : We can call people of our own religion/race, but when it comes to somebody out of our own race, it's considered as racist. Racism works both ways, k.
