According to location, having your children forced to learn languages and customs of immigrant cultures. Having the use of the word "Christmas" banned from many cities in case it offends 'other' cultures and religions. Positive discrimination in the workplace towards immigrants of less ability and no English language skills to 'balance' racial equality. Permitting racial abuse of indiginous population on a regular basis to avoid harming 'ethnic minorities'. Permitting racially hateful speeches and assemblies by ethnic minorities. Permitting and promoting the building of hundreds of mosques out of proportion to the needs of the local population. Permitting and promoting the development of immigrant only areas of business and domicile.
These acts are permitted and promoted by local government who are often dominated by the same ethnic groups who have no interest in the welfare of 'white' people.
There are many more examples, but I don't want to quote them and didn't want to quote these either, which is why you are not getting any detailed responses despite your badgering. The people who DO want to shout about it are facists.
Remember that under EEC rules we have to accept our 'quota' of asylum seekers. Remember also that under international rules asylum seekers are permitted only to cross 2 friendly borders. In some cases, they have crossed dozens to arrive at Sangatte and with a little help from the French there are almost 100,000 at any time from 30 different nations attempting to bust in across the border, and because of our benign and liberal ways, if they make it, they get clothed, housed, fed and watered and permitted to stay if they come from 'dangerous' regions, which also means their cousins brothers uncles aunts and second cousins twice removed.
These are a few examples of what I would call enforced multiculturism and just because it doesn't happen by Government decree doesn't mean it isn't enforced by virtue of 'force majeure'
It is a credit to the kindness and generosity of the British people that they accept that people suffering hardships should be taken care of from all nations, but we owe nothing to Somalis for example, and yet they are responsible for 90% of gun & knife crime in the capital which rises week on week. As Pete rightly says, because of the willingness of the people, things have mainly worked, although in the case of the UK, I sense the tipping point is close. In any event, I feel the United States deserves the Somlis because of your excellent Police work with the local crime lords there.
Thank you for dismissing the population density comment with an airy fairy wave of your hand, and remember that your own country is one of the most racist nations on earth. I lived in a town in the South of the USA for a few years where they used to hang a black man in the town square every Friday night on principle. The last one was in the early '60's. There was also a sign in another local town near me which read "Don't let the sun set on your black ass". When I was there, the racist symbol of the Stars and Bars flew above many City buildings.
There is no point to your continuing to 'try to understand' the problems of multiculturism in Europe because you cannot. There is also no point in us trying to understand the many ethnic problems you endure in the United States because we cannot either.
What we can do, is listen to another's point of view and accept what is said without attempting to impose our own, and foreign values on the status quo.
And yes, I am an old immigrant myself. Not Nordic, but Anglo Saxon possibly around the Dark Ages. That would be appropriate.
Nick, if we couldn't move on from previous mistakes then all of Germany should still be in chains.
Edit: And before anyone says it, yes, the British too.
