In response to Re For Those Who Love To Criticise.. (Caring)

What is crucial for the nation is considering all groups/all views in
schools and laws which is extremely difficult and sensitive.

Why the sensitivity? Because idiotic politically correct dancing monkeys think so. Has anyone actually ASKED minority groups if they are 'offended' by western culture?

These people choose to live in our countries and as such they should accept our way of life and our culture. What happens to Christian people who go to Saudi Arabia and try to build a church? 88 my friend, no questions asked.

Do those of us who live in China start demanding that the Chinese government do more to embrace our culture and introduce some road-rules? Or do we just accept it as being the Chinese way of life, safe in the knowledge that if we don't like it, we are free to leave?

Yet we have to lose our 'Happy Christmas' in favour of 'Happy Holidays' in case it offends the people who send our schoolkids home with a card that says 'Happy Diwali'. Does any ethnic minority give a rat's-arse about Christmas?

Chinese kids go to school on Christmas Day, yet most FT's are given time off because the Chinese respect that it's our tradition and a day of drinking and eating a years supply of chocolate. Problem? - No!

The US government wants to ban the word 'oriental' in case it offends oriental people, yet the word 'oriental' simply means 'eastern', so why not ban that too? Has anyone took the time and trouble to ASK oriental people if that word is offensive? No! It's just the idea of some drunken dancing monkey that is paid a fortune to come up with stupid ideas in order to prevent potential racial-tension between ethnic groups that quite frankly don't give a f*ck. It's complete bollox!

Oh, we must be sensitive to ethnic culture - well that's fine - just so long as they are sensitive to ours.
