sccsux Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Oh god, not another let's bash american thread Where's this happening then, 'cause it's most certainly not in this thread.

poppins Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The Immigrants that have come to the US over the years, not only do they want to become American they follow the American cultures, they didn't move to the US to change it like the Muslims are doing, once an immigrant get his/hers US citizenship (which is not easy or cheap to do) they consider themselves Americans right away...then wherever they came from comes second.

Ps: Don't Muslims in America consider themselves Americans first? Are you saying they should renounce their religion and become Christians in order to be proper Americans?

boyfriday Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 You daren’t even say that over here. Most immigrants I know who emigrate here most definitely consider themselves British first, many I know are more patriotic and have a better knowledge of British history than the many of the 'indigenous'.

Grandad.Malky Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 . popcorn tossing, burger munching 'soccur' fans ? Steady on, cant imagine that being acceptable if the roles were reversed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that's true BF, I equally doubt what Malky and Poppins wrote is true either. If all Polish immigrants see themselves as Brits now why do we have a Polish centre on London Road?

If all Polish immigrants see themselves as Brits now why do we have a Polish centre on London Road? I don't believe such centres are indicative of any culture not feeling part of the host one. As I said earlier America probably has a wider selection of ex patriate and foreign clubs associations than any other country, immigrants and their offspring like to maintain some interest in their mother country..there's even an association of Irish police in America, along with many others! http://www.nhpes.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hardie Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 This is interesting if alittle OTT. Still its an interesting take on the problems with multiculturalism. Why do you show us this three years after it was broadcast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
