The majority of people in England will have four English born grandparents and eight English born great-grandparents - I do and so does my wife.
There is very little inter-marriage between Muslims and non-Muslims and many cases of women being killed by their families if they attempt it.

I think the constant use of the word 'communities' sums things up - what it really means is groups of people of similar race, religion and culture concentrating themselves together in given areas with little attempt to integrate (whatever that means). But apparently 'communities' are a cause for 'celebration'. No significant race riots lately (be patient) but plenty of terrorism emerging from the 'communities'.

I consider New Addington to be a community. What is interesting is how its make-up keeps changing. Recently went through an African bulge, now Polish. They all seem to rub along quite well and definitely have a sense of community. Croydon seems to me to be a good example that we don't have to build communities on ethnic grounds but I do think shared schooling is absolutely crucial to break down the barriers. That is why I have concerns over recent policies towards single-religion schools.

That's the most insulting and stupid thing I think I've ever heard.

And there lies on f the problems in 'modern' society.

People are offended by the reasonable but tolerate the absurd.
