i think what ake was trying to get at is that SOME of the immigrants that live in this country don't try to learn the language or try to make conversation when sitting on a bus, whatever. someof them don't invite the nieghbours to join their kids in paddling pools,or round for tea.

please don't shout at me saying that there are white folks like this, I KNOW THAT! but i think it maybe is more obvious when an immigrant does it, don't ask me why, but it seems to be.

when any group of people try to make their own comunity(?) others always feel on the outside of it, i wonder if this is why there is a seemed devide?

i might not be able to understand someone very well but am alaways happy when someone makes the effort to talk to me.

take care all
