We've always been a hetrogeneous mix. But in time with the mixing, the more homogeneous it gets. We just have to facilitate that.
Logically the British will never be swamped by immigrants because the immigrants become British.
If some on this thread are concerned that the average Brit might in future have slightly darker skin and wear something on his head that could once have been a bowler hat or a turban, then thats your problem, not mine.
The issue of race really does not concern me. But I do have a problem with religion. Particularly Islam. And most especially political islam which works hard to hinder assimillation and has goals incompatible with the welfare of the people of these islands.
The issue of race doesn't concern me either. The issue I'm interested in is the issue of culture, in which one can include religion.
It is not surprising that, in the main, so-called white peoples have roughly similar cultures, just as "yellow" peoples and "black" peoples do. It is to be expected that the conditions that have given rise to physical characteristic we tend to group in separate races would also give rise to distinct cultures. Homogeneous culture is likely to be accompanied by homgeneous race and visa versa.
The name trend focused on the UK but the possible confrontation of cultures can occur anywhere. A common thread that has resulted in this "thread" is that usually these situations involve one group that has established an identity wiithin the land they live and the others are newcomers, guests, invaders, etc.
Obviously, I could be wrong, but I believe that the long established group may welcome the cultural influences of the newcomers, but will always draw a line somewhere; whenever they believe that core of their culture is at risk.
They could, like earlier versions of China and Japan draw the line before there is even much of a cultural influence at all, or they could embrace influences and grow strong from them, but aways there is a line.
There is a line in the UK and Europe. There is a line in Pakistan, Jordan, and Nigeria. One can contend that this line is a product of racism or xenophobia, but I would strongly disagree.
Newcomers that have a birth rate that promises population increase and who resist assimilation, are likely to find themselves crossing the line of the estabished group that has a declining birth rate and any sort of sense of cultural identity.
the reaction need not be extreme, but it will be if the established culture refuses to recognize the conflict and brands any discussion of it racist or xenophobic.
