In a multicultural Western country is it fair to say?

The one thing that pees me off about our country is that racial origin is still an issue: I consider myself to be English. However I have Welsh, Irish, Romany & French in my genes: my favourite cuisine is Italian, I speak languages fluently, including French, German, Ancient Greek and Latin. Bulgaria and Cyprus are my favourite holiday destinations, along with the USA. My first childhood friends' parents came across on the Windrush, and I lost my virginity with a girl whose parents came from Barbados. The only time I consider my nationhood relevant is when it comes to Foreign Affairs.

Race is made up right. We didn't think about race until until the 17th century or so, the notion that all people of one race or another have some common intrinsic value.

So yeah we should get past it into something new and better. It's very hard to change social thinking though but the first rule is treat people how they want to be treated. Be kind. All that.

Eh.. in the United States there is this sort of general homogeny, but there’s also self – segregation where people gather in clusters of similar background, especially if that background conflicts with the mainstream, homogenous values

That's a great way of defining a nation 💖

Places like the Americas and Australia are different from Europe. In the former, Europeans displaced and overran indigenous communities, decimated them. They weren’t the original inhabitants here. So for them to turn around and complain about "immigrants” has been the height of hypocrisy.

Europe has more of a right to guard traditions going back thousands of years in the face of those immigrating there who want to change things. Of course there’s hypocrisy there, as well, since their own explorers and settlers were not concerned about local traditions wherever they showed up.
