Fat is a type of crazy Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Dealing with differences between people in life is a pleasure and a pain. Familiarity, having a common mindset and spirit with our fellow man, are things we all like to different extents. If a family from country x moved into your street you likely would not care. If the majority of the street and the local shops suddenly came from Country X you might feel a level of discomfort. Not due to a perception of the inferiority of those people, but because of a lack of familiarity and a genuine difference in the habits, customs, religions, the unfamiliar atmosphere, even smells, which comes from the lifestyle of the new people. If you logged into Aseannow and found suddenly half the members were from Country X, a culture unfamiliar to you, you might resile from it. Is this racism yet? When does it become racism? The issue is often though that the above scenario is not realistic and is often based on an inability to see the big picture. In reality new immigrants are not hordes, changing the culture irreconcilably, but humans in small numbers relative to the population, who often, over time, take on the existing culture, add to it, work hard, and benefit the country as a whole. Big business loves immigrants - more people to compete for jobs, keep wages down, and push demand for their goods and services. Genuine good faith discussions about the downside of population growth, and changes to a culture and lifestyle that result, do not have to be based on prejudice and ignorance. That last sentence can sound like racism but unless you agree with totally open borders, we can all agree, but to different extents. The discussion though can so easily slide into actual racism where we become lazy and stop thinking objectively and are happy to assume, for example, cliches about a people, exaggerating their impact on a society, and willingly assuming that individual bad stories are indicative of the reality of life for the country as a whole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lot of crime in the UK, by no means all reported in your ‘Daily Newspaper’ of choice. Or if you want it more bluntly, somebody at your ‘Daly Newspapers(s)’ of choice is selecting which particular crimes they wish you to read about. To draw sweeping conclusions on the basis of information someone else chose to feed you is rather foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, every death from violent crime is heart-breaking, devastating families and communities, and we must continue do all we can to tackle the issue." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find that the vast majority of crime is committed by whites by a mile, purely due to demographics (87% white, 7% Asian and 3% black). However, what does stand out is that when one considers the black and asian populations, a higher percentage thereof commit crime, when compared to the percentage of the white population that commit crime (0.096% of the white ppopulation are in prison, 0.14% of the Asian and 0.49% of the black population).

Blind Freddy could see those people were going to raise British born kids. Just like where I come from, the largest population of the town (state capital) was Chinese until WW2. Forty years ago the town mayor was one of those Chinese. The Chinese were the richest demographic in town. After the war the town as flooded by Greek and Italian migrants. The locals disdained them and called them w*gs. Now the town mayor is one of those Greeks as is the state administrator (governor). The Greeks are the richest demographic in town. The town's largest social event of the year is the Glenti festival. One of the Italian kids born in the town became the CEO of Dow Chemical. The second richest demographic is still the Chinese. The new money is the Vietnamese community. Darwin boy ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
