It is of some concern to me that the native English are being discriminated against in their own country to a point where it is more beneficial to be a foreigner. Skin colour probably wouldn't have come into it were it not thanks to a series of increasingly PC measures which have now enabled people to cry 'racism' and take full advantage of the system.
I witnessed first hand in Hammersmith how 'British' was a surefire way of being relegated to the bottom of the housing queue behind Asians. Is it any wonder that British-born people of Asian descent prefer to think of themselves as Pakistani or otherwise?
It's a sticky subject that people avoid talking about precisely so that they aren't considered racist even for the most innocuous of comments. I'm all for the idea of 'fit in or ship out' for visitors to any country around the world but we're now so far down the path of political correctness that England is becoming a foreign country to the natives.
The world is changing and people are moving about far more than ever before but there is a huge difference between multiculturalism and positive discrimination, something which I absolutely cannot abide. Discrimination by definition means that one group loses out over another so why is one way racist and the other way not?
I wouldn't expect special treatment in any other country, Great Britain really needs to tighten up on that.

Something we can agree on Ken, when I made my original post I did not include you
This country is the only one in the world were racism is looked for when there is none, but it has a reveres effect on the indigenous population, when we are continually told we have to change to accommodate people from outside our shores, when in fact if left alone there would be no problem i.e. calling Christmas the Winter Festival so as not to upset people of other faiths. All these cockamamie ideas are perpetrated by the provisional wing of the Guardian, who's recruiting comes from the job pages of that newspaper, I use newspaper in the lightest terms
