    No. You have said how welcoming you are to foreigner who want to live in your wonderful country, and then go on to complain how there are too many foreigners in London.

    I recall an aticle by Deborah Orr saying that although she lived in groovy stockwell, her childrens activities and parties wer mostly white affairs, like tends to like etc. i expect these ethnic groups prefer each others company and if they're to preserve their culture will exclude others, A friend has a house used by a housing association has had a sucession of Africans + now somalis none of whom have shown much inclination to socialise with not just her but other english around them. If you ended up as the last english in the street it would be a lonely business being there/ The cultural differences can be too wide to bother
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I don't know about that, but "people of my ethnicity" welcome other people into their culture, and in turn, incorporate a majority of British culture.

    So lots of people do bother, and actually try to overcome the "wide cultural differences".

    Honestly Lukesh, I know you read the sun et al, but you are really not doing yourself any favours by quoting from immigrant phobic right-wing newspapers. If you want yourself to be taken seriously, then quote more respectable newspapers, eg,. the guardian, times, independent etc for a more balanced view.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    That may be, but they'll give a more balanced view since it's better quality journalism.

    You are so off the mark here. I would suggest its mostly a class issue. Deborah Orr is (I would suggest) a typical middle class liberal professional and as such, probably would have more white middle class friends, or the black people she might know would be middle class too. IME, working class people in diverse areas tend to mix a lot more freely.
    BTW, Stockwell is not "groovy" (whatever "groovy" means. Its the sort of word my 67 year old dad would use!).

    Firstly I would doubt your story, knowing your agenda.
    But if its true, I'm not surprised they don't want to socialise with your friend, if she's as racist as you are. They can probably pick up on the fact that your friend feels uncomfortable around them.

    If you're narrow minded and unwilling to communicate with people. Most people are sound if you give them a chance, whatever their culture.
    And anyway, how many people socialise with ther neighbours anyway?

    Blagsta: I looked for a link to that article but maybe columnists' articles aren't indexed (besides the Indy requires payment, sod that) all I couild come up with was this, showing the downside of 'groovy stockwell'

    'Woman who bit columnist during break-in goes free

    25 June 2002


    A habitual burglar who broke into the home of the novelist Will Self and assaulted his wife, Deborah Orr, a columnist for The Independent, walked free from court yesterday.

    They could afford to live anywhere, like Hampstead, god knows why they don't.

    As for the rest of my post, if you don't believe it's veracity, too bad

    Well given your track record on here of vocally supporting racism and distorting things to suit your own twisted agenda, I find it a little hard to believe, yes.
    But if true - why not try and engage with some of my points? :confused:

    There you go again, assumptions, ... No this friend would not happily accept the label of racist and she's not alone in finding a reluctance amongst ppls from 3rd world to socialise outside of themselves

    i wouldn't be welcome in a kurdish/somali /greek cypriot cafe nor would you

    LOL! :D You are so full of shit. You have no idea where I hang out and where I am and am not welcome.
    This says more about your prejudices and perceptions than welcoming/non-welcoming communities. :D

    Well isn't that the norm these days with everyone, especially within cities. There's no such thing as society you know. I have lived in areas which were mainly white since adulthood and can't say that people went out of the way to socialise with me. Nothing to do with their race most of the time, just the fact that these days people don't bother.

    Everything you say.

    Some of the 'opinions' expressed in this thread are way to specific. I would like to remind you of the politics guidelines, this one in particular -
    Racist, hateful, defamatory or otherwise illegal posts are not suitable.

    Some of you, and you have been warned before, are expressing racist opinions. Particularly as they are completely unsubstantiated by fact.

    I will not tolerate any more of these comments, and I ask you again not to get personal.

    More a misrepresntation, than outright intentional lie.

    You warned us that we would get a influx of immigrants through the ports, following the extentsion. It's only Tuesday (3 days in) and I can't move around East Kent because of all the immigrants from the new countries...

    He says sarcastically...

    Your entire tone on this thread and others is about floods of immigrants, which haven't appeared.

    I don't know about Somali or Greek cafes but I am sure you would be made very welcome in a Kurdish cafe, I have been to several in North London and Birmingham and they are very happy if people want to go there and eat their food, listen to their music etc. Small minded assumptions!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Exactly. It says more about ladymuck's attitudes than anything else. Most people are welcoming and friendly if you are respectful and show interest.
