Terry K, do you think that we can ever totally live in harmony, different ethnic groups, or do you think it will allways be a fine line, with all groups having to be careful?

Why do some ethic groups integrate better into the british way of life. Do you think that for example, banning santa at the birmigham bullring, incase it may offend ethnic minorities, will be detrimental to integration, as we are in britian now, and unless the message gets across that ethnic groups have to respect our festivals, its not going to work?

"Bradburn is worse than a racist pig. He also hates anyone who is not racist."
dianavan, shut up about the racist thing. At no point have i said that i believe that one race is better than another, i am not racist, end of story.

Is racism allways going to occur, is it a natural thing. someone who lives in manchester probably believes that their football team is better than Liverpool, and visa versa. pride in your own, and wanting your own to survive over others in natural. one species of animal only helps its own really. We are programmed to want the continuation of our species. That is why soldiers in WW1 found it very difficult, to kill (only 2% shot to kill the enemy,) this is of course, infantry, rather than machine gunners and mortars, air strikes etc.
A bear is going to want to help its own species over a koala, that is only natural. Can racism ever be removed totally?

all the best
