back to mahogany though. if i have to describe it in few words though, it's not like minorities treat white people as if they worship them. a lot of them actually despise white people due to the same reason (color/personal/historical) etc. let's just say that the feelings are anything but mutual. white people are scared of becoming a minority in their own country due to alienation and loss of hope towards their own homeland country, and the rising immigrant rates are just feeding to that fear. i guess the reason why they feel scared is because they don't want to feel replaced by people who were never born in their homeland.
sorry for the senseless rambling. like i said, it's 4 AM
Well I mean of course a lot of people hate white people, but they're terrible people too.
Why lose hope towards your own country, though? If anything, it gives you more hope. A friend of mine from the Phillipines is one of the most Irish people I know. I'd be glad to accept more people like him. I think the problem you're getting at is still a perspective problem from them.
Plenty of Polish people have come over here too, but that just means more opportunities to make friends, not an opportunity to feel alienated. If someone shuts their ears and eyes and blocks out the outside world, I think it's their fault they're being alienated, not that of the immigrants.
I don't think it's reasonable of anyone to feel like they'll be replaced by foreigners. You need generations for that to happen - and at that point, the immigrants' children and grandchildren are born in your country, and the country is just as much their homeland as it is yours.
No bother mate, I think you made a lot of sense even if I disagree with ya
