what are you some ancient philosopher.?
its easy to patronise and tell others what they should do. thereare many situations and most often people from similar backgrounds congregate together into sort of ghettos.
when i lived in london often there might be one white child in a classroom amongst black children, because all the housing was taken up by black people. the shops sell goods suitable for the taste of the incomers. i used to have dancing lessons with a handsome indian gentleman but my white friends disapproved
when idi amin kicked many of his people out of his country-- we took many of them in. we have had to adjust to many changes over the years-- much because of the rights of those who had been part of the british empire.
the influx from the west indies etc in the fifties.
now we are part of europe--- so many economic immigrants can come here.
i spent a lot of time in childrens homes in the forties/ early fifties, children who were product of alliances between english women and visiting troops were often half black.half white and they were abused by other kids because they were different.
this country has had to learn to assimilate with each other, but real integration and mixing with everyone should mean many ways and enthusiasm to share together and really communicate with each other, ghetto type situations make that really hard.
a willingness on all sides to really try to understand each other--
those born here have every right to feel british-- if their parents also make efforts to learn our ways.
