Post subject: Racial Relations in Britain --- a report from the Guardian

From the Guardian:

Quote

' ... a majority of white people do not share the bonds of close friendship with their fellow black, Asian or Muslim Britons, meaning they may lack the empathy that close contact can bring. The CRE warns this leaves swaths of the population open to believing the worst of different ethnic and religious groups. '

41% white want races to live seperately. It's predicted. Anglos can't even get along with their French neighbor, much less with Muslim, Sikh or Blacks. About time to stop the PC crap on diversity.

Oh yes, lets give up. Now everyone look the other way and perhaps the problem will take care of itself....

41%? That means that 59% want to live in an ethnicaly mixed enviroment!! thats pretty good work considering that 30 years ago I'd bet that figure would be damn nearer 100% against mixing. Thats great news!
