Racism, Gypsies, immigrants, problems & solutions

[Zenith]

Happening in the UK right now with UKIP. Anyone who votes those fascists in I want nothing to do with.

Regarding UK, and to some extent the rest of the western Europe, I think there is a cause to it. As I've heard, native white British are less than half the total population living in UK. Of course, black people are not native of UK, they have immigrated into UK during the last centuries. It is possible that within this racism lies the fear / worry that the country which used to be made of British people, was built for them, and with a British culture and etc. becomes a country of Muslims (Arabs and North Africans), Eastern Europeans and who knows what. If you add to this the possibility (I don't know how it is actually) that the birth rate of British people is declining while the others are rising, they you may end up, say in 100 - 200 years with a UK that barely has any British in it left (and say, 90% of them to be of Islamic faith). That would mean that the British culture, their ethnic group, their values and etc. might be endangered.

In Eastern European countries, there are very few immigrants coming (so there's no worry of being swarmed by foreigners), but on the other side they have the problem that many of their own leave to the west. This causes a decline in the birthrate and inherent difficulties and imbalances (e.g. less and less youth able to work and more and more old people who can no longer work). On the other side, those holding to the "traditional values" and to bullshit theories like "a people is made of an ethnic group that share the same religion and the same culture and etc." find themselves with a country and a people which, according to that notion of people, is endangered by the West (the youth of the eastern countries embrace the western culture, they drop the eastern orthodox faith for atheism and agnosticism, they give up the traditions for the western trends, etc.)

I believe nationality is quite a bullshit (I mean, proud to be Romanian for the simple fact that you were born within some borders). But I believe many people need to have a national identity, and a cultural identity. So it is possible that this globalization thing was not thought out very well.
