Only when it is too late will the nay sayers admit they were wrong and multiculturalism doesn't work.
You think Britain is a "white country". You're a bigot.
Which is why you can't actually engage with any of what I've written. There's no actual basis to your position beyond prejudice.

I love how they state
white Brits are now in a minority in London, making up just 45% of its residents.
How does 45% of a population constitute a minority when the other 55% is made up of MINORITIES?
Mixed 405,279 5.0% = Minority
Asian 1,511,546 18.4% = Minority
Black 1,088,640 13.3% = Minority
Arab 106,020 1.3% = Minority
Any other ethnic group 175,021 2.1% = Minority(all above = 40.1%)
White 4,887,435 59.8% = Not a Minority even if White British 3,669,284 44.9%

45% in my book is still less than half which means a minority compared to other races. Call me racist I DON'T CARE! When an area loses its original appeal due to other groups coming into that area then it means one has to either change their perspective on things or change their location. Looks like many brits decided to change their location. Also says that maybe, just maybe, multiculturism isn't all that it's cut out to be. sure wouldn't want to live in an area where my language has lost its place.

Bob receives 45% of the vote for Presidency
Jane receives 31.5%
Steve receives 14%
Does this mean the Jane, Steve, Jim, Joe, Tammy, Scott, Mike, and Tim are now President? NO why because Bob received the MAJORITY of the vote.

You see, there you go again.
Have you read this?
terms and conditions
Pay special attention to:-
15g.) Political Baiting: You will not engage in politically-charged rhetoric, politically-inspired name-calling
Which is why you can't actually engage with any of what I've written. There's no actual basis to your position beyond prejudice.
I'm more than happy to engage with any poster. I can engage all night long.
So far, you have proven to be a slippery customer who craftily skates around awkward questions put to him.....I rather suspect because you don't like the answer.
Like this question, for example:
"I wonder how your wonderful multicultural/multiethnic utopian world outlook would go down in New Delhi and Islamabad?"
We both know the answer to that one, but you don't like it because it doesn't support your political agenda.

But you haven't answered his question. Insulting a poster to evade answering a question suggests that you are unable to justify your position.

Without trying to again evade the question by insulting him (again), how well do you think a multicultural/multiethnic utopia would go down in New Delhi and Islamabad?

Ah yes! This is the simple question that is skillfully avoided.
The same people that want Europe flooded with everyone else will say the world has no boarders and belongs to everyone. But the prospect of Europeans doing it to others is colonialism.
But to your question specifically, the answer (if it ever comes) shall be interesting.

The BBC article makes it clear that white British people at 45% of the population of London are in the minority. I am puzzled why you think it is somehow disingenuous to refer to this figure.
If you would like to introduce data that white and non-white British people are in the majority in London then please be my guest. It will further the debate by introducing new information.
With respect, I think you are deliberately misunderstanding what I have written.
London state schools have undergone a "startling turnaround and are now the best in England" according to a study by the Financial Times newspaper. The FT analysed 3.5 million children's exam results for the six years to 2011. In 2011 London pupils did better in five GCSEs including maths and English than pupils from any other region.

You said that Indians wouldn't like it if they were in a minority in their own cities. I pointed out that there is no city in the UK where British people are in the minority. White British people are in a minority in London (although they are overwhelmingly the largest group)

In addition to the 620,000 white British people who left London in the first decade of the 21st century it is also likely that a significant number of non-white British also did so. Sadly the BBC did not supply those numbers.
With the 2011 census revealing that 37% of London's population being foreign born (42% in inner London), it suggests that immigrants are in some sense pushing British people out of the city. The BBC suggests that white British people have moved out due to rising house prices allowing them to move to the coast. I don't find that argument terribly convincing.
