Some posters in this thread have claimed anyone can become British - as long as they move to Britain.
This is wrong for many reasons.
Firstly and most importantly its wrong because it denies the indigenous British a heritage. If anyone can be British then the ethnic-British are no longer entitled to an identity.
Culturally British. There is a difference between culture and ethnicity. I must have told you this 20 times before, and you have continuously failed to address it. Are you suggesting we ban black people from playing cricket and drinking tea in the afternoon, so these can be part of an exclusively "British" cultural identity?
And again I ask, how does the skin colour of the Pakistani who owns the shop round the corner in any way affect
your right to identify with whatever label you choose? Nobody's forcing you to adopt their culture, and absolutely nobody is forcing you to have non-white kids with them.
If the people adopting the culture, are of a related ethnic root then they can become 'British', in the ethnic sense and be as British as an indigenous Briton. An example would be the minority of native Britons who have partial-Huguenot heritage, but the Huguenots assimilated and fit the ethnic mold of Britain.
Ethnicity is not culture. How is a black person who was born in Britain, speaks colloqial English with an East London accent, plays football with his mates, goes for a pint of ale in the local pub afterwards, any less culturally British than his white mate who does exactly the same thing?
To quote Nick Griffin on who an indigenous Brit is:
''...it's anyone who is effectively so melded into the majority english, british population so nobody knows, so nobody cares''
That's good for him. Now tell me why a black person can't become melded into the majority British population. And don't repeat your tired lines which amount to "because they're black, and black people aren't British. Graagh,
liberals!". Give me an actual, solid, tangible reason why black people cannot adapt to British culture.
Some people are patriotic and have a spirtual connection to their country and ancestors.
Don't you claim to be liberal and democratic? Everyone's different remember...
Good for them. And how are a few black and Asian people living in the same country as them going to somehow break their magical "spiritual connection" to their ancestors.
And did you just claim that only white people can be patriotic? What about mixed-race people? Can they be patriotic for no country?
Democracy is a product of the western world only.
So is that a yes, or a no? Do you think that black people are incapable of embracing democracy, as a result of their ethnicity.
People can eat what food they want. However its pretty sad and annoying when you see a British person eating foreign food when we have our own.
Ever eat a potato, or anything made from a potato? That's south American. I'm guessing you wouldn't consider that sad and annoying.
The liberal elite who run UK are ethnically cleansing Britain. This is widely known and will be further confirmed when the 2011 census statistics prove white native British are a minority in many more areas.
Will UK census 2011 reveal white-minority towns?
Given your stringent definition of "native British", I'm guessing they're the minority in
every area. And your "ethnic cleansing" line is a load of paranoid excrement. Do you seriously think that there's a massive liberal plot to corrupt your pure, Aryan bloodline, by bringing in a load of pesky attractive foreigners to breed with ethnically pure British, to create a nation of mongrels? What possible motivation would the evil liberals have for doing this? Do you know how ridiculous you sound?!
And one more thing, tell me how ethnicity is unbreakable linked to culture. No little rants about liberals, no personal attacks on my intelligence, no quotes from 19th century eugenicists. Tell me what real, physical factors preclude a black or Asian person from adopting the exact same culture as someone who has lived in Tunbridge Wells for 200 generations? If you have to rigidle define "culture" to do so, please go ahead, I have all day.
