British people are not racist

Apparently the results of a new poll of the British people has the Little Miss Busybody sisterhood shocked. Searchlight Educational Trust has published the result of a poll that reports 63 percent of the white population, 43 percent of Asians and 17 percent of black Britons feel that immigration is a bad thing. In addition, 39 percent of Asians, 34 percent of whites and 21 percent of black people want immigration stopped.

But half a minute, why should they be shocked? Easily answered really. If they had stopped preaching to us about racial equality and diversity. Not branded anyone who questioned their policies as a racist and spent a small amount of their holier than thou time listening, they would have known how the majority of us feel. I mean all of us, black, white and every shade in between.

The truth of the matter is that the ordinary man-in-the-street British person is not racist. I’m not racist and I don’t know a person who is. What gets to us is that people come here, then try to change the way we are.

If you want your wife to wear a bag over her head in public and not be ostracised, live somewhere else. Don’t come to our country then tell us that we are somehow lesser people because our culture is different and certainly don’t form a mutual admiration society based on your religion and call it a parliament.

Far worse is the sisterhood of the righteous who talk down to us from a settee on a TV breakfast show, telling us that we have to accept this alien behaviour. We don’t have to accept it. We might not say anything. We are not going to get into a public argument over it, but that doesn’t mean that we agree with it. After all, who wants to spend their time listening to your strident hectoring about what we eat, what we drink, saving the planet and how we get on with our neighbours?

Madam, whether or not you inhabit a female body, we do not have to accept it. To illustrate my point – how often do we read stories in the press joining racism with Chinese immigrants? Hardly ever, if at all. Why? Because they understand that they need to blend in with the culture of their host country.

So maybe instead of spending your energy hectoring us, the British people, on how we should behave, spend it on teaching migrants about our history, language and culture so that they can fit in and have a much happier life.

You won’t do that though will you? Much too much like hard work. Easier to preach to those who can’t be bothered to argue with you.
