"Multiculturalism". What the liberal idiots don't understand about multiculturalism is that it's based on mutual respect, and quite honestly many of the refugees/immigrants/whatever you want to call them, have no respect for Western culture. Therefore host nations have no obligation to respect theirs.
It seems like the tide is finally turning. Let's just hope it's not too late.

Can we all please ignore saturnz? He's obviously trolling (poorly) with the intention of derailing this thread with his pointless bulls**t.
so how did the colonialists respect indians, africans, americans and aborigines?
Okay, so that makes it completely justified then. Two wrongs make a right?
And you still haven't answered me - is Swahili African or not?

1) The colonists were not exactly moving to Africa to take advantage of the free dental plan.
2) They didn't. Look at the multicultural wonder of South Africa if you want to see how it turned out.

If it wasn't for those colonialists you'd be begging on some street in India :erm:

how did the ottomans respect the lands they colonized - you seem strangely silent on the marauding muslims for some reason but very vocal when it comes to "white" colonists

I wonder what his feelings are about the Islamic conquests in India.
If you have been living in a predominantly English country for years, and you can't speak English, then you must be going out of your way to avoid learning it, and/or you must be completely segregated. It is one of the most complex languages, but it is also by far the easiest language to learn if you are living in the west (or just about anywhere else) given it's reach, and the resources available. Loads of people who live in countries that aren't predominantly English can speak English, and it has far more second language speakers than it does first language speakers, unlike other languages.
because it is a colonialist in the topic that expect others to adapt when colonialists have never shown an inclination to adapt to the areas they colonised
when the topic shows the ottomans asking migrants to adapt then I will speak about that okay

I'm not sure it should even be mutual respect. You come to a country for the benefits that it has to offer, you respect the culture that provides those benefits. Your host country doesn't have to respect your culture because it's not demanding anything of it. The most it owes you is tolerance of your culture in so much as it doesn't conflict with the laws of the country and the rights of others. Over and above that respect should be earned.

They didn't. A lot of them were brutal madmen by today's standards. What is your point?
You know Germany went to war with the world in the 1940s, the world should go to war with current day Germany now. (this is about the level of logic I'm seeing at this point)
yes it is an african language, what is your point?

I'm sorry I honestly can't take you seriously while you're referring to modern day Britons as "colonialists". You realise the colonial era ended a long time ago right?

Afrikaans is an African language yes. What is your point?
