Here's an interesting graph that charts areas of high BNP (British National Party) support alongside areas of densely populated by ethnic groups. Interestingly the two rarely coincide.seckle wrote:what i meant by royalty obsession is really in the fabric of what it means to be british. if you're a 2nd generation immigrant to britain from one of the colonies like jamaica or india, you're still influenced by empire,.... ie you know your class, its boundaries, and where you stand amongst the rest of the classes. london, like new york, paris, tokyo , berlin and many other cities is a global city, so its got the same trappings of classes/religions/cultures having to co-exist together in one dense area. its also closer to the boiling point for england because your Island is running out of room.
What isn't very clear is what portion of smaller communities are of ethnic backgrounds other than white British - it just suggests that numerically the communities are small but what are we supposed to make of small towns and villages with high BNP support? Is it alright to assume that there's barely a brown face in sight?
i'm saying as a new immigrant to any country, what gives you the right to start complaining till you've contributed back into the society a bit. its the same way that here in america, people get on some pedestal about how fucked the government is, yet you find out that, not only do most of them not pay taxes, but they aren't even registered to vote or had the intention of voting at all. these people can get fucked over twice as far as i'm concerned. its got nothing to do with skin color or religion. once again, its entitlement. the foundation of democracy was built on people making their contribution, just like everyone else. after contributing, that gives you the right to dissent, not before.
