If it was a monoculture you could respect it, and know where you stand. But in melting pots, most people just ignore anyone but their one kind - hunkering down like good little turtles.<BR/><BR/>I went to school with, worked with, and even lived with some, wogs and asians. Lots of great people I still count as friends. But do I want to drown in a sea of diversity? No thanks.Abandon Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06817952603388886644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408835661469732810.post-89061031748912639302007-09-29T07:02:00.000-07:002007-09-29T07:02:00.000-07:00Dear Abandon Skip: Great stuff, sport. My wife is ...Dear Abandon Skip: <BR/><BR/>Great stuff, sport. My wife is Japanese. Her Mother had great difficulty staying here for more than 18 months when she had all her own money and insurance etc, and lived with us and she's a great citizen. Odd, innit? <BR/><BR/>Sadly she wasn't mentally deficient, ex militia, dysfunctional, an Islamist fanatic or a rapist. Nobody's perfect,eh? Especially if they come from successful Capitalist Democracies that we have a lot in common with. <BR/><BR/>It's not mathematical to imagine that if you add random numbers together, the equation will all add up and work out to a pleasing and workable answer. <BR/><BR/>I once made the error of opening a restaurant in an area with over 150 languages. Lot's of immigrants, poor, working class to lower middle class people. Now the place had many of the nicest business people you could ever meet.<BR/><BR/>But for the many, very few to sometimes none in the various groups had often little to zero interest in any other group, including the host culture of yours truly. <BR/><BR/>They could often get worked up over drug and turf wars or ethnic hatreds though. Resulting in a spontaneous 'Celebration of Diversity!' <BR/><BR/>It really was the atomic age. Unfortunately it was 'society' that was atomised.<BR/><BR/>All the best from colonelrobertneville.blogspot.comColonel Robert Nevillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846514965728659622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408835661469732810.post-23363732770423458412007-09-28T23:17:00.000-07:002007-09-28T23:17:00.000-07:00Yeah, and who will put their hand up to enforce as...Yeah, and who will put their hand up to enforce assimilation policies? We can't get nurses, doctors, police, bus drivers, etc to work on the diversity frontline. Diversity is rejected on the ground. An assimilaton policy is only a band-aid solution that will be ripped off under the flood of immigrants and high birth rates.<BR/><BR/>Unless, of course, we import more foreigners to enforce assimilation. Insanity. Stop non-white immigration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
