Looks like its happening in London. Blue Mink Great Big Melting Pot turn out coffee coloured people by the score.

So what's wrong with coffee coloured people?

Perhaps we should encourage the Government to set up rehabilitation camps here in the North West?
That would create employment for shall we call them, The Social Security Guards regiment (from hereon referred to as the SS)?
These camps would create two things:-

1/ Employment in the Capital for truly white people plus the bonus of free accommodation as these off whites and even darker souls are transported away (we'd have to take the darker ones as well to prevent it happening again).

2/ A reason for those of us that can prove their lineage goes back at least to the Normans, though preferably the Saxons, to work together.

Of course the SS and the camps would be built up around truly humane principles, any of the inmates that find themselves turning white due to the wet and cold conditions of the camp being situated on say Oswaldtwistle moors would be free to leave, so long as they have a job and house to go to.

What a wonderful Country we could create for ourselves and with no harm coming to anyone that really matters.

I think you get the idea.

I am not known for being a P.C. person, but even I find the starting thread somewhat beyond the pale (pun intended).
Perhaps the person that started it should take a really good look inside themselves and consider why they needed to make that statement?

The Blue Mink song 'Melting Pot' was completely anti -racist.

Well, you gotta recipe for a get along scene,
Oh! What a beautiful dream,
If it could only come true, you know, you know.

If the starter to this thread was making the statement from a racist standpoint, they couldn't be wider of the mark.

I see the census findings as good news!

I regard that song as pro integration

I think this is the sort of thing he's referring to (from the reporting of the census findings yesterday http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20677321):

The most ethnically diverse area was London, where fewer than half (45%; 3.7 million) of the city's 8.2 million residents were white British.
Since 2001, the number of people of mixed ethnicity had almost doubled to just over 1.2 million in 2011.

Sounds a lot like major Canadian cities ... in TO 43.7% of the population is foreign born, and 46.9% are "visible minorities". I think that the problem is not ethnic origin, but religion. That comes out pretty clear in the census. (or "clearly" if youse want to be picky

)

Seems strange to start a thread, then not either (a) expand on your point, or (b) respond to the follow-up posts of others.

What's the point of that?

Par for the course for this poster.

Do you think he imagines himself as some sort of agent provocateur who drops these little intectual depth charges then stands back to savour the ensuing discussion?

No, maybe not...
