It gets on my tits when I have one set of people telling me we should be a strong traditional mono-cultured country and another bunch telling me we should be a vibrant multi-cultured one.
We should be what ever WE as individuals want to be, within a free framework that simply protects us from actually hurting each other. When I mean hurt, I mean hurt too, not simply offend or annoy.
I think people should be able to discriminate as much as they want with their businesses, or not if that's their wish. For me, any business should want the best talent and to be able fish from the largest possible customer pool. If some racist wants to run a whites only pub, then that should be his choice. People who don't like that, can avoid.
Now I will get to the controvertial part of this post.
Currently we are told we must embrace other cultures, celebrate them and support them. Well what about our culture? How much celebrating of OUR culture and traditions do other cultures that have landed here do.
Well I am going to give you some observations.
Pubs.
90% of the pubs I have been in seem to be very white British to me. Much more than the make up of the area I may be in. Even in London I notice this and the only place I have every been where there was a slight shift, was Wembley and that seemed to be more of a food thing causing that.
Concerts.
Glastonbury. Go have a look at the BBC iplayer stuff for this musical festival. Notice anything missing? Yep, I didn't see many non-white people at all.
Prodigy. I didn't see a single non-white person there, even though one of the singers is black.
Take That. 80 000 people there last night, yet as I looked out, I couldn't see any non-white people. I am sure there must have been a few, but I didn't see them.
So why do the powers that be try to force this idea that we should all "celebrate" each others cultures. Why can't we all just choose the culture that fits our own personality best and run with that? Of course, some cultures have a dominating element to them. They want to force people into following them = fascism. How about we address that issue and make sure that doesn't happen here and then let people do their own thing.
The whole concept of celebrating cultures is a joke.
