frededwards Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Boyfriday's comment was a frivolous, throw away comment, surely even the most hard-of-thinking can figure that out for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That easy Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Something that is quite apparent to me is that many in the established black and asian community resent the more recent east european arrivals. Quite ironic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frededwards Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I agree when I think you are right, and disagree when I think you're not. That seems fair enough to be, and is only what I would expect of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manlinose Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The Saxons were a confederation of Germanic tribes on the North German plain, some of whom migrated to Great Britain during the Middle Ages and formed part of the merged group of Anglo-Saxons that would eventually carve out the first united Kingdom of England. The Saxons, became the Anglo-Saxons after they had settled Britain and merged with the other tribes. That is the group the term represents. all that goes to show is that we are all (or most of us) descended from immigrants - the angles, the saxons, the jutes, the romans, the vikings were all foreigners who settled here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Something that is quite apparent to me is that many in the established black and asian community resent the more recent east european arrivals. Quite ironic really. White Australians resent non-white immigrants in Australia. White Americans resent non-white immigrants into the USA. That's because they feel themselves Australian or American and immigrants to be outsiders even though they themselves are descended from immigrants. Black and Asian people here may resent immigrants because they consider themselves British and see immigrants as outsiders. So it may not be so ironic.

Manlinose Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Shut up, asking for evidence is not juvenile. Attacking someone for doing so shows you have something to hide. something to hide? do you think he is responsible for getting half the population "up the stick"?

Oh It surely is ironic that the black and asian communities, who's arrival was(and still is by some) resented by many of the native white population are now resentful themselves of immigrants.

Oh lordy, you're not one of those people who believed that white folks have an exclusive on being racist do you? Some of the most narrow minded, spleen venting racists I've ever encountered have had black skin-it's a human condition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
