Multiculturalism in action

[simon.r]

I have 2 (white) adult children.

My daughter is going out with a half Scottish / half Dominican Republic lad, my son is going out with a Welsh Vietnamese girl.

Fantastic isn't it?

Ok, fine.

Your future daughter in law could be half Welsh. I'm so sorry.

If they're nice people, it is indeed fantastic. If they're arrises then it is not.

To be fair - some Americans are a bit loud.

Yes - just about every couple in an advert is now mixed race. If it wasn't acceptable then it wouldn't sell.

No danger of in-breeding then.

is that acceptance though? Most news readers are ethnic ..etc..the older generation are set in their ways as a rule..
my parents mid 70's are sort of mellowing..but the 95 yr old FiL will always be a racist..
in fairness to him he was based in the middle east during ww2 for a time..but he hasn't quite mastered the PC terminology yet

At the risk of getting all SC&P about it, is this multiculturalism, integration or assimilation? Multiethnic does not necessarily equal multicultural.

One of the summerlings had a boyfriend who was a mix from Belize, China Ghana and Uk! He was lovely my only problem was keeping him fed..... (Rugby player!!!)

Multiculturalism is all well and good until if affects where you live. We have these new neighbours who we've been polite to. But there's such a cultural divide. They have different values, different language. I don't mind being sociable but don't really want my kids playing with them after they started picking up their weird words.

I think they're from somewhere called Yarksheer.
