The point that mankind is migratory being is a fair one. It's happened since we started to walk, and will carry on until we can't.

If people are prejudiced against people because of the colour of their skin, that's their problem. No need to keep harping back to days that were as simple as a pre-war Gracie Field's film, when the only darkie was the cheeky sweep, and nigger was the colour of the oil cloth on the kitchen table.

Mankind may indeed be migratory; but he is also territorial ... and it is common in history, as you probably quite well know, that migration and territoriality clash. And that seems to be what is happening in Britain now.
