Really? Yet you go on to mention your encounters with "EE's"...

I have edited my post for clarity.

I stand by my encounters with some Eastern Europeans. Some are amazingly pleasant, amazingly so. Others, not so, to the point of racism. And no, its not like anywhere else you go, I've seen racial hatred and there has been a notable increase in generalisations, prejudice, racism I've witnessed and experienced and its mostly from Eastern Europeans (ironically I could be generalising here*). I boil it down to this: many don't live in a place like London, which is culturally rich/diverse.

That said, I welcome them to integrate and learn more about the varying cultures that make up Britain and invite them to add to the wealth of Britain's multicultural society by adding their own cultures to it.

On the subject of jobs I've noticed that in McDonalds, the petrol stations and shops in my area there are newly employed Eastern European staff. Are they taking jobs? People said the same of Caribbean migrants decades ago.... As long as the service is good I really don't care. I did laugh at the woman in the petrol station who asked for my ID and then bumbled through trying to explain what she meant by 'I've heard Black don't crack...'

*Everyone is a little bit racist [Avenue Q it's why Ican laugh at American comedian jokes] IMO and my tolerance for these things is quite high. I like acknowledging, understanding and laughing at the differences between cultures/races, which is why Ms DDD and I work. Interesting side point, right now she's got an afro comb and running it through my sons hair which has her length but my consistency/texture. Beautiful sight.

Probably all bollox that someone will pick apart and I've almost certainly contradicted myself.

Hoh hum.

True dat.
