I am firmly against immigration. I have seen multiculturalism fail time and time again, sometimes first hand. Multiculturalism has never worked nor will it ever work. You simply cannot have people living side by side who operate under different morals and ethics, and worse still it is impossible to have people living side by side who operate under different laws, which we are getting closer to in the UK.

But yet when I put my points across, with real evidence and logical thought, I inevitably get branded a 'bigoted racist'. Yet when I looked up the definition of racism I get this:

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/racism
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race , especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior

But I have NEVER claimed any race is superior or inferior, or has more rights than another, or anything of the sort. I simply say that multiculturalism doesnt work, it never has worked, and it never will. The only way it works is when everyone ends up mixing so much that we end up with a monoculture anyway, so what the hell was the point apart from just destroying the multicultural world we already live in?

We already live in a multicultural world, thats what nations are for. If I want to experience another culture I can, and if someone from Iran wants to visit my culture then they can, so why do people have an obsession with creating one inside each nation in Europe?

All it does is just fuel segregation, people evidently dont want it on both sides, and then wonder why it gets forced on us as if there was something wrong with our own society before it? And the thing that really winds the British person up is quotes from the likes of Jack Straw who say "British Nationalism is the biggest threat to this country". While in his own constituency of Blackburn they have a big problem with segregation, but of course that is just blamed on 'communication', or on the natives being racist. (Well I mean if the immigrants cant speak English properly you can't expect good communication can you)?

And then all these 'ethnic quotas' or positive discrimination policies do is fuel hatred, they dont help equality, they make people hate. You just cant have people living in the same country under different rules. The most racist statements I ever see are from the sorts of people who support positive discrimination policies.

Time and time again nobody can bring up anywhere where there isn't tension and segregation when a large immigrant majority move in. The counter argument is always that its because the natives are just 'racist'. I seriously, seriously doubt these people who label me with that will just stand around and stay put if 30000 Somalians who barely speak English properly moved into their streets in the space of 10 years.

So tell me, why am I a racist and give me some evidence that shows that 'multiculturalism' is a benefit to society? How does it improve what we had before?
 
Is it racist to be annoyed by the gaggle of immigrant parents who stand in a huddle in the school playground speaking their native tongue, not interacting with the locals, and then talk to the child in the same foreign language when they come out of the school doors?

If they'd (try to) integrate, maybe there wouldn't be such obvious segregation.
 
Multiculturalism is about politics, not people.

It's a BS bingo buzzword with little or no practical use, unless you're a politician trying to further your career.

That said, I've had more unsolicited racial abuse as a white male from immigrants to this country than I ever had when I lived in the middle east (with the exception of the saudis, who are special when it comes to attitudes to foreigners). So I understand where the resentment comes from.
Just because they're beige (humour...or whatever colour label you choose to apply) doesn't make them any more or less of a **** than you, generally.
