I would say spot on.

Sadly American Indians only make up a small percentage of the population these days.

Us Brits basically took the place over. That is why they speak English there these days.

Where are you referring to? If it's the US, the Germans are the highest amount of ethnic group in the US, followed by Blacks, Mexicans,  the UK and Italians. The Brits tried to take over, but the Americans kicked them back to England. Of course after they realized their mistake, we let them back in to live there.

What about the American Indians?

They came over the land bridge before any others. Then some arrogant people from Europe came west and pushed them off land they lived on and forced them onto reservations. 

Does anyone really care where he was born, what passport he holds?

 

Pretty damn amazing that he literally walked away almost unscathed.

 

He has a wife and kids back in the UK who have their husband and dad still alive

 

Frikkin miracle if you ask me

He's the luckiest man in the world today. He'll be a bit of a celebrity for a while, the journalists will want to get hold of him and he'll be invited on the UK talk shows when he gets back. If he plays his cards right he could make some good dosh out of this.

Who cares if he's Brit or Indian. The fact that he survived is miraculous given the devastation to the plane and buildings it hit. This man was just reborn!

Of course, Jesus was an observant jew, if he was to be born again it would be in Tel Aviv or Brooklyn.

We don’t respect our British Indians enough either Fred.

Some, including many on this thread, don’t consider them “real” British sadly.

Yep, amazing.

The American Civil War was possibly won with British made weapons the 

Pattern 1853 Enfield. 

 

 

British companies did supply arms, primarily to the Confederate states, though also to the Union. While the British government declared neutrality, private arms manufacturers in England and Birmingham supplied the Confederacy with rifles and ammunition. This trade was often facilitated by Confederate agents in Europe and British financial firms, who provided funding for blockade runners. The Confederacy, lacking a strong industrial base, relied heavily on these imported weapons to sustain their military effort.

Yes, with also the Springfield 1861. Plus the Napoleon 10 pounder originally made in France, Henry rifles, Gatling gun. Good thing England because our allies after they Revolutionary War, which is one reason countries fighting each other is ludicrous. Each has their own contributions to society that everyone can benefit from.

Closest to an emergency exit. Sheer luck.

 

Yet to see a Brit in Australia that does not go red as a beetroot in the first 48 hours.

But of course Britain had a vested interest in cotton to supply the factories in Britain.

I've yet to see a Scandinavian in any hot country that doesn't, they beat Brits hands down 

You think that is tough. You haven't checked out German women. 

 

She not only survived a plane crash but fell from 10,000 feet, survived for 11 days and then walked out of the Amazon rainforest. Now that's the definition of 'hard'

Read the report.

It clearly states he is a British father, with British children and a British wife.

 

A man walks off a plane crash that killed everyone else on board and all you want to do is turn it into some sort of racial bashing? 
 

 

We all know what you are trying to do. Smart people will not take the bait.

 

Exactly. His posts are consistently calculated & carefully crafted to provoke and irritate, all while skating just beneath the mods radar. He hides behind a veneer of "just providing information"... but anyone familiar with his pattern of cretinous contributions can see through the thin veil of plausible deniability. The intent to antagonise is obvious to anyone paying attention....

 

 

As for the gentleman in question: Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, a British–Indian dual national. His nationality is, frankly, irrelevant in the face of such an extraordinary and improbable survival. The real story here is not where he’s from, but the sheer miracle that any human being walked away from that wreckage alive.

No - that was the precise purpose behind your carefully crafted post: to bait a reaction, only to then climb onto the moral high ground and engage in a bit of virtue signalling when someone responds to your deliberate provocation.

 

Had Vishwash Kumar Ramesh been solely of Indian nationality, you wouldn’t have posted.
Had it been someone named Lars Jensen, a Danish national, you wouldn’t have posted.

 

You comment simply to provoke....    forum vermin.

Great photo of a strong leader who will never give up.

 

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!

Never give up trying to get something right................

 

 Except a McD's order..............

I have a feeling the racists in this thread would never show their face ... and secondly probably live in Pattaya, and third are immigrants themselves.

Another one more interested in the colour of the gentleman’s skin rather than his toughness and amazing survival.

You guys should give it a rest.

 

His toughness comes from his Indian DNA, not because he holds a British passport. If anything, living in the UK has probably weakened him if you're anything to go by.

I'm racist, whatcha gonna do about it? Calling someone a racist doesn't give you magical powers to punish them, it's just empty talk to make yourself feel virtuous. Anyway, keep calm and carry on being woke.

Don't daft...   If you think this 'human beings' survival is anything other than pure coincidence and blind luck then its just a little bit naive.
