Why do British people support multi-culturalism?
I live in India,the main stream media here keeps on blabbering about supporting national identity, also Indians born in other countries like UK also called NRIs(non-residential Indians) are more patriotic towards India. Films like “Namastey London” clearly give the message that no matter where you are born you should support India. Moreover, here you will find ads on tv and in markets to illegally immigrate to UK and Canada. But the thing that disturbs me the most is how acceptable it is in mainstream media here for Indian men to sexually exploit british girls (not just british but any white girl like australian or american) by making the excuse of taking revenge for British rule on India.This generation wasn’t even responsible for colonization. I am also pretty sure that it is same in Pakistan and Bangladesh too.Don’t British people understand that these people won’t integrate in the society,on the other hand they will exploit Britains view of being “politically right”.And what proved my ideas were right, was the latest case of Pakistani men grooming young white girls for prostitution.These men will never exploit girls from their own country.Emma West was jailed for passing racist comments in a tram,moreover her address was circulated on facebook and twitter and she has been receiving death threats ever since. But four Somali girls who physically assaulted a white girl named Rhea Page were freed by saying that muslims were not used to being drunk.Rhea lost her job due to trauma and was deprived of justice because media was too scared of highlighting the ethnicity of the attackers.What the hell is wrong with British society, call me a hypocrite, but British will be a minority in coming years in their own country. We don’t see British ppl coming to live in India even if they do ppl around here are too hostile against white ppl especially women.It is high time that Britain does something to tackle this problem.
by multi culturalism I mean immigrants flooding UK from outside the Europe. Greece is in Europe.
Canada and Multiculturalism – is there a Canadian culture left?
Multiculturalism became incorporated into official policies in several nations in the 1970s for various reasons. In Canada, it was adopted in 1971 following the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, a government body set up in response to the grievances of Canada’s French-speaking minority (concentrated in the Province of Quebec). The report of the Commission advocated that the Canadian government should recognize Canada as a bilingual and bicultural society and adopt policies to preserve this character. Biculturalism was attacked from many directions.
John Diefenbaker saw multiculturalism as an attack on his vision of unhyphenated Canadianism. It did not satisfy the growing number of young francophones who gravitated towards Quebec nationalism.
Why isn’t Canada a melting pot society where immigrants have to assimilate and conform to Canadian values and standards? Are we loosing our heritage?
The Liberal Party government of Pierre Trudeau promulgated the “Announcement of Implementation of Policy of Multiculturalism within Bilingual Framework” in the House of Commons on 8 October 1971, the precursor of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act which received Royal Assent on 21 July 1988. Symbolically, this legislation affirmed that Canada was a multicultural nation. On a more practical level, federal funds began to be distributed to ethnic groups to help them preserve their cultures.
Was it this mas fault that multicultralism is failing in Canada?
Typo “was it this mans fault”
Canada was never conquered by Spain and the French lost all claim to Canada in 1759 in the French Indian War.
