While being a social conservative I quite liked the clause 28 or whatever it was back in the eighties...(because I believe in the traditional family model as the ideal). However, saying that I don't like the idea that it caused the closure of help groups......something should have been done about that. I like the idea of help or social groups because if you are in a minority they are a way of connecting you and avoiding isolation......Obviously what I don't like is the tendency for them to become centres of activism....though I suppose that's the nature of minorities.

With regard to the perception of mixed race relationships: Originally posted by Stirlingsays Quote There has been a change but I think it can be over emphasized. 'US Public approval of interracial marriage rose from around 5% in the 1950s to around 80% in the 2000s. ' Again, as you say, that's not to say how many people actually are in a mixed race relationship. But it does tell you that there has been an extremely drastic change in public perception and of their acceptability. Point being we wouldn't find anyone sidling up to the teacher about that one nowadays .. and yet in Hungary perhaps we would see that due to a differing national outlook.

' Edited by dollardays (12 Jul 2019 5.03am) Like most things I imagine it's all about how the question is framed and then how the results are publicised. I mean, I don't 'oppose' interracial marriage....I mean, does anyone actually ban that anywhere? So if I were asked the same question I'd be 'approving'.....because hell, I'm not telling someone they can't get with who they want. This doesn't mean I'm not concerned about the hegemony of the English in England though...Or Europeans in Europe generally....I think that should be protected. Also there is what people say and what people do.....The stats would show real attitudes percent wise.....I'd imagine the highest percent of race mixing would be whites with East Asian, especially white males and Asian females.

On top of DHL (as i posted somewhere months ago) reporting that they are transporting less 'stuff' than before, now FedEx are saying the same ie people 'aint buying anymore 'cos people are skint. On top of this, along with the continued Deutsche Bank collapse, 'rich' people have become poorer for the first time in 8yrs. This is not good news. Buy Litecoin.
