Maybe, but I would like to see the unemployment statistics for British immigrants which are esimated at 40% in France. Racial problems, gangs, drugs, etc are not the same as what happened in France in my opinion.
Diversity is our strength
Ignorance is Strength!
There is a lesson to be learned here but are we, in the United States, smart enough to learn it. IMO, no we are not.
The root cause of multiculti BS failing is moslem presence. When did I last hear of Indiian or Chinese or vietnamese immigrants demanding special treatment on the basis of racial, religious or cultural whatever?
I'm a first generation American of British descent. My dad always said that 'the only Limey's with any brains came to America.' He knew whereof he spoke.
We are doing the same thing here only with Mexico and latin america. We are letting millions of peasants in here who not only have no allegiance to America, they believe we stole it from them. Assimulation?? No way!
You are exactly right, sir. We are NOT smart enough to learn. The problem is that political correctness and multiculturalism, which are siblings, both trump over reason, rational thought and self-preservation. We will DIE as a nation before we have the sense to stop this nonsense. Even now, it is just as actively promoted in our nation as in Britain.
There's the difference. The people living in Britain didn't just roll over and take the Muslim cr*p. Same thing with the states - if some aggrieved minority group started burning thousands of cars, a bunch of those aggrieved jerks would be shot by concerned private citizens.
Also immigration in general causes these sorts of problems. Europe and America would probably not have to worry so much about political fashion if we would put a complete halt to immigration for a hundred years or so to allow the countries to absorb them. My guess is that Europe and the US are absorbing immigrants from very different societies than we are used receiving immigrants from at an unprecedented rate.
Multiculturalism? Help me out; I seem to have forgotten -- why is it, again, that multiculturalism is a good thing?
Same thing here in Canada, but not as far gone, yet.
Multi-culturalism worked fine when it mostly white Europeans coming here and holding onto their own customs, which even for the most backwards peasants escaping the Ukraine, for example, shared a lot of values with the predominately British and French Canadians who were already here. But when you start getting a lot of people from backwards, 3rd-world hellholes bringing the dysfunctional (not to mention backwards, misogynistic, racist, anti-semitic, etc,etc) culture of their homelands here, it doesn't work so well.
Diversity is divergent!
"the recent wave of rioting across France, largely perpetrated by Muslim youths, has offered new scope to this smugness. Since the conflict began, the British media have been full of sneers about racial problems in French society..."Those involved, including the author of this article, might find the problems less perplexing if they could recognize the difference between religion and race.
Perhaps.
But, sadly, they never learned the correct use of the apostrophe.
Kind of a contradiction on its face, isn't it?
And getting more so every day.
