Racism In Cornwall
There have recently been a spate of posts decrying the 'ghettoizing' of inner city areas by immigrants and thier (British) descendents.
Therefore, is the following story cause for concern:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news /racism-rears-its-ugly-head-in-cornwall-851605 .html
I think it's fair to say that we're all pretty much sick of extremism and the fear it induces to moderate people....so what should be done to allay the fears of those immigrants and their families who chose to move out of inner cities?
Also, could this be one of the reasons why black and Asian families choose to live in certain areas - 'safety in numbers'?

Oh dear ruby, it's not like you to get your facts wrong.
TRUE CHRISTIANITY does not demand anything but love to ALL people regardless of their politics, sexuality, sexual orientation, or anything else that you can think of.
Yes, men in robes and funny hats condemn in the name of Christianity, whilst taking into their midst the cassock lifters who are too effeminate to go get a mans job but want to sponge off the sweat off the backs off true workers.
I get a little peed off with the double chinned brigade who eat more than they sow.
Life is tough for me, and I'm just letting off steam.

Still not sure how targeting the tiny number of Asians in Cornwall can be justified as a defence of the local community. And to be honest, I don't understand how the establishment of a resource centre can be viewed as giving them preferential treatment...any more than,say, a women's health clinic should be viewed with suspicion by male council tax payers.
Does any part of the story suggest that integration into the wider white community will continue to be difficult whilst this tiny minority of racist thugs continue to stain the reputation of the generally welcoming and decent people of the South West?

I know of a white family from Birmingham who moved to Cornwall and were made to feel so uncomfortable by the locals because they were "English" they moved back.(It was in the local paper as well)
I have vowed never to cross the river Tamar again.
They can stick their pasties and tin cans where the sun don't shine!
Usually Newquay in August.

It's getting off the subject a little, but believe me - true Christians (at least those who I have met or have heard interviewed on telly) aren't too hot on the gays.
But let's not dwell on that. Most major religions aren't too gay-friendly.
My original point is that we should be encouraging black and Asian families out of the inner cities and into the suburbs and rural areas.
If we don't then we cannot complain about areas where "You never see a white face".
Actions have an effect. If 'immigrant' families are to integrate, then they shouldn't feel threatened by isolation.

at the risk of sounding racialist i will have my tuppeny worth get illegal immigrants out now any one who is subbordinate to english or british society can stay anyone found with a gun or knife on them during police searches should be deported immediately and get funding from there own government to fight the deportation then our taxes will go down i mean abbu hamza what a rediculous situation so have a go at me but my grandfather was killed to let you in here so behave you idiots and you are thick because you need specialist lawyers to fight your case you know the one you shouldnt have a leg to stand on
What does this tell you about our humanity?
Can we ignore our feelings in favour of P.C.?
Ever heard of, "White Flight?"
That is simply white people saying, "Here, have it! It's yours! Now leave me alone whilst I build a new life for myself!"
Anything wrong with entrepreneurs wanting to live together and being creative and wealth creative and sharing the benefits of their enterprise?
Yes of course there is!
Look at Africa for a great example of tribalism strangling enterprise, of corruption, of a lack of inventiveness.
Yes, Britain would be better served without many of the ethnic minorities, not because they are ethnically in the minority, that would be racist, but because the superstition and backward cutlure they bring is dragging our British culture into the gutter.
Do you really think that this does not have an effect on mainstream British culture?
For Gods sake, they killed each other in Northern Ireland for a lot less for thirty years!

actually wba birmingham is going to be the first city in 20 years time where being white will be in the minority.....
....well it was in the news about 6 months ago, its a fact.
Actually, that is an opinion not a fact. I wish people would learn the difference.
I dont mind people living here as long as they are prepared to be british, if they dont want to speak english and pledge allegiance then they should stay where they are.
Great - that means a lot of AB posters can go as well since they don't like / respect the Royal Family - or does it just apply to immigrants? Does the speaking English also have anything to do with writing English, since again, most people who complain about the immigrants seem to have a terrible grasp of the English language?

Afraid your post has confused the hell out of me.
I was referring to Asian families who have moved to Cornwall and have seen attacks by local thugs.
I literally cannot follow your thought patterns...honest.
Re-read your post, and I think you'll see what I mean. The story isn't about illegal immigrants, guns or knives???

A big thank you for bringing that up!
I've seen a number of posts here on AB which point to the worry white Brits have at seeing whole areas 'go immigrant'. Therefore, don't you find the story about these attacks worrying?
Remember, we're not talking about Asians 'colonising' Cornwall...there simply aren't the numbers to do that.
The point is, to stop the spread of non-white areas, non-whites need to spread out all over the country.
Isn't that a simple truth? If people are against the proliferation of ghettos then surely they must be as abhorred as I am act the brainless acts of thuggery by these cowards in Cornwall?

Hi again sp1814
Just read briefly the additional posts since I commented and it does seem that your post has derailed a bit and it worries me that people on here sound more concerned about immigrants livng here rather than the attacks itself!
Some of the comments on here are quite shocking to read like;
'Yes, Britain would be better served without many of the ethnic minorities, not because they are ethnically in the minority, that would be racist, but because the superstition and backward cutlure they bring is dragging our British culture into the gutter'.
If anybody is dragging the British culture into the gutter, its the indivduals that carry out these attacks and yes sp1814 you are correct in saying these attackers are cowards they are RACIST COWARDS!!!!!!

How on earth did we get to muslims and immigrants? (And why do these two topics always get mixed up?) I thought this thread was about racism in cornwall and other rural areas!
I'm so glad I wasted precious time giving it this a well thought out, considered and even based on experience answer. This is exactly why I come in to News less.. same bl00dy arguement, same bl00dy mindedness.

China Doll / Sonak - thank you for your posts.
I find it dispiriting that we've now got to a point where even unprovoked attacks on defenceless families are now seen as 'justified expressions of community preservation'.
Wrong on so many levels, but there ya go...looks like it's going to get worse before it's going to get better.
