im not even really sure what i think on this anymore......
my assumption is this.....
pimp..... you said yourself.... your indian connections are far greater than the mere fact that your parents are indian, you say its much deeper and its in your blood, cultural upbringing, etc.... all of which i understand 100%....
you say, and i agree, you had no choice on your place of birth and this anyway is of no significance when talking about race etc..... i agree also.
so like you said.... your indian.
although you live here and are in esence one of us, (again i agree,) you "feel" your connection with india and you ancestral roots.
you feelings on loyalties should there be any kind of unrest between india and the u.k have been made clear,( again, its a poor annalergy, which firstly im tied of hearing about and secondly, it wasnt me who brought it up...)
based on all of these facts i would say you were a "second generation indian immigrant"...
still not sure what relavance this has or weather it matters at all......???
all i know is that in my book, all these issues point to the fact that you are an immigrant and should acknoledge the fact. in fact, i think you may well have done.... these post have been long and hard going ....ha ha ha ...its just the same for me , this country is my blood, my roots and culture and im proud of it and want to defend that. its not that i fear change, its just that i think the whole "multi cultural" thing has been forced on us..... dont know how, dont know what can be done about it, or even that anything should be done about it ??
i dont mean this in any derogitory kind of way.
i guess its not really about race at all, its about equal rights, civil liberties and the p.c maddness. how many times have you heard the expression " the worlds gone mad "....
this whole debate started about an ice cream and some
tw@t winging or possibly even pulling the old race card just to prove some lame irrelavent point about a picture of an ice cream looking like the symbol for his god ???
well all i can say is this...... maybe he got it wrong...... maybe its his god who looks like our ice cream.... did anyone stop to consider that ????
