Census 2011: fewer than half of people living in London are white

Yep,

Read the thread, thought of this gif, started loling.

But yeah it is unsettling how quickly this has happened over like only last 10yrs.
 
The problem is that it is difficult to legislate against Cultural change be it progressive or retrograde....and a dominant culture would logically influence the legislature just as much as the population which in turn would hamper any such moves toward a constitution that was in opposition to that dominant culture whatever form it takes....the most obvious example is the United States where their culture is often at odds with the original aims of their constitution which in turn simply means that the constitution is either amended or routinely interpreted according to the prevalent political and cultural bias.

Also I don't think people are obsessed with the status quo, they are however concerned that in some areas of the UK their national and cultural identity is being subsumed by a more dominant and not necessarily more progressive one. In all things therew needs to be balance and currently that is not what is happening in some parts of our cities. This is what happens when you try to socially engineer voting blocks through immigration.
I agree that some cultures have an impact - but that's why you need a strong secular style fixed constitution - which simply enforces a law which ensuring the county doesn't go the way of the "tyranny of the majority" (which I think we are doing quite well at - for now).

The same laws which should protect minority's currently in theory should also stop minority's becoming majority's & attempting to change the law in such a way which is to the detriment of social progress.

While I agree some cultural elements should be a cause of concern (in which objective harm is done, via the oppression of women/homosexuals) but our laws should be made strong enough to override this kind of cultural bigotry (which is does in some cases).

Secularism while often vilified by religious people (slightly off topic, but culture & religion are very closely linked) - is actually beneficial to both religious people & the none-religious - as it protects both groups from oppression by the majority.

A secular state with a strong/enforced constitution on equality & human rights should be all that's needed to safeguard the social progress of the UK (while allowing for cultures which cause no harm to continue & flourish).

I mean, if everybody in the UK suddenly decided to follow Jainism (while a strong cultural shift) I really wouldn't mind to be honest.
 
I don't practice it but the majority do, and isn't it best if there was one global religion.

If that global religion was no religion, yes. But really, why do you want every single person to be the same? If it wasn't for multiculturalism and differences in races and cultures then there'd be very little between us and the 'animals'. Difference is what makes the world interesting.
 
The idea of nationalism is as stupid as racism.

Both concepts should be outmoded.

We are people, living on the Earth. Colour and boundaries should play no part in our ideology.
 
The world is made up of people of different races, one of the many things that make the human population interesting.
Race is a modern idea, as far as i am aware or what science can tell us, race has no genetic basis, human subspecies don't exist nor have they really ever existed. There really is no such thing as human races, there is only one human race and many nations.
We are people, living on the Earth.
That's all it is, it's ignorance, the haughty, the downright greedy, the negative and bad attitudes of some human beings that is problematic, imho.
 
Next on the list, giant mega Mosques everywhere.

Pretty much what the Christians did to stamp their authority over conquered lands - build lots of churches :)

Where does the language barrier fall into your idealistic "boundary-less" world?

Four per cent of households have no one who spoke English as their main language.

The basic perquisite for taking residency in this country should be to have a good understanding of the English language which should be means tested as part of the entry/application process.

I think English as the world language, Islam as the world religion and a mixture of west and middle east law.

Odd how it says they can all have guns to defend against rogue governments, yet they allow their own government to forcibly take all their guns away or make it neigh on impossible to own one.
Despite quite a lot of evidence that having a gun appears to reduce crime? :confused:
 
can't really see the point of it tbh,

we are all either male or female, skin color to me makes no difference so see no point, since we are all from the same planet and have come from the same pot, we are all related anyway.

unless some of you are aliens :)
