The USA started from a 'clean sheet', did not have established race, language, religion and culture - apart from the indigenous population who were more of less 'ethnically cleansed' (you would have thought they would have welcomed the vibrant diversity of the immigrants wouldn't you?) The USA does indeed have communities of different races etc. They get on well don't they? No suggestion of racial tensions, riots etc? Also, each nationality revels in their particular 'heritage' - ask the American Irish or Italians what nationality they identify with.

Canada? The English speaking Canadians get on really well with the French speakers don't they? No calls for an independent French state within Canada is there?

Australia of course ethnically cleansed its indigenous population and is now experiencing the usual problems of mass immigration of people of different race, religion, language and culture.

British Empire ended peacefully? What apart from America, Canada, Ireland, South Africa, India, Malaya, Cyprus, Kenya, Southern Rhodesia, Palestine, etc

....................................................


USA? started from a clean sheet?Yes a clean sheet of existing established cultures and languages and religions,largely geographically separate.

Very established Spanish culture and language in the South West and California. French culture established in Louisiana (Louisiana law based on French law to this day).British on the east cost

Race issues are very much due to the perversity of slavery and its lingering effects.Not the artificial creation of the USA based on people of differing ethnicities,language and religion per se.

As for present -day Canada? No,I'd say generally now a belief in a united Canada as the way forward.A main reason? policy of multiculturalism.Also,another generally stunning example of immigration from, all over the place within the past 60 years and policies of multi culturalism.

Have you lived in Australia?I have.Its also generally a stunning example of successful mass immigration over the past 60 years of people from all over the place.

Of course there were violent uprisings within the British Empire.I took issue with your statement that such was largely the outcome.And even your list of "insurrections" is wrong.Take S Africa.Empire didn't end because of an insurrection.Rather a conscious decision decades later to grant dominion status and later a revulsion following the introduction post 1948-1950's of apartheid. Your other example of the USA is misplaced.The origins of that"insurrection" were about tax not nationalism.

It's pointless discussing it really, you just come out with the usual "it's all the fault of slavery", you turn a blind eye to the many tensions and problems in multi-cultural societies, and you always will. It's quite funny though that you are playing down the desire of Empire countries to free themselves from Colonial rule and revert to their own Nationalism - as if they were quite happy under the yoke apart from paying taxes and this and that.

Judge put it very well earlier "For many reasons, people just don't mix too well." But of course you will never recognise that.

And you turn not just a blind eye,but two blind eyes to anything remotely positive that has ever happened or happens now in a multi-cultural society.

But,I can agree with the proposition that I don't mix too well with views like your own.I certainly recognise that.Though,as for Judge's general proposition that "people don't mix too well" which is true at times (and equally untrue at times), IMO its regardless of (rather than definitively because of)and not predicated upon whether the people one doesn't get on with at times are of a different religion,language or culture. Civil wars in the USA and England are examples showing that

Ok. I see that in your eyes I am saying as "usual", its "all the fault of slavery".Hmm.Racism and its continuing economic,political and social effects are in the USA,nothing more or less.

And you turn not just a blind eye,but two blind eyes to anything remotely positive that has ever happened or happens now in a multi-cultural society.

As for the proposition that citizens in the Empire weren't in significant numbers seeking independence from colonial rule (largely not unlike any group living under occupation),not sure any reader could reasonably think I suggested that.In reality,there was frequently no pre-colonial "nationalism" for them to revert to,since we had drawn up arbitrary borders during the colonial period.

But,I can agree with the proposition that I don't mix too well with views like your own.I certainly recognise that.Though,as for Judge's general proposition that "people don't mix too well" which is true at times (and equally untrue at times), IMO its regardless of (rather than definitively because of) whether the people one doesn't get on with at times are of the same or a different religion,language or culture.

As mentioned to Nick, circumstances are such that I can't really ask you the obvious questions, so little point in continuing - you can say what you like and call me whatever you like, unfortunately I can't reciprocate.

How do you know what I was carded for? Are you privy to such information? I also note that you merely make a flippant remark in response to a post about a regime, that you no doubt think is wonderful, shooting dead 30+ workers.
