Pakistani Muslims probably. As they all look the same to us, we will
probably end up with Hindu Indians and Seikhs feeling victimised soon.
Blacks don't like being "targetted" by the police and complain they are
over-represented in our gaols.

Very true. I don't have a problem with having them here per se, I just have
a problem with 65 million people living on a small island which is better

Re: OT - Politically Correct --------
Very true. I don't have a problem with having them here per se, I just have
a problem with 65 million people living on a small island which is better
suited to 10 million. Most of the recent population growth has been through
immigration.

Re: OT - Politically Correct --------
We don't seem to have any big problems, at least in this area, with south
Asians. Most that I know are Indians, they have their own sub-division of
several streets in the next town over. But then.... most would be
considered affluent with education and good jobs
