Poland..wake up to a multicultural world [1059]
Only because of fatalistic declarations like this.
It's may be fatalistic but it's also realistic and the process is already under way. Open your eyes.
If you feel so strongly, why not try to change things? You can start by figuring out ways to revitalize run down areas of your community. If you and every one else who says similar things organized and worked to revitalize run down areas, they would be adding so much value to properties here and the bad people wouldn't be able to live in such areas.
I don't live in a run down area, and those which are run down are inhabited by some of the newest immigrants from very colorful ethnic backgrounds. I did my share of help and I gave up the senseless efforts.
I sat on a housing committee for about 5 years. Those mentioned above were handed keys to brand new housing units. Within a year it was hard to distinguish them from some of the worst areas of the Harlem and the Bronx. After inspections of those units we would not even try to wash our shoes - we would throw them out carefully and using latex gloves as you do with bio hazardous material. I am not exaggerating. The units inside were pure filth of the worst kind. Human excrement on floor was not uncommon.
Any suggestions that bathrooms do have their practical use were met with accusations of ethnic profiling and racism, even though there was apparently no racism when they were given the keys to their new, undeserved housing facilities.
For brevity, I won't describe what was relayed to me by some members of various charitable organizations working in some African countries, where efforts were made to better the lives of the native populations by installing clear water wells etc.
Maybe you could hire some of them to help renovate the neighborhoods?
You don't get it do you?
It's not even about the living conditions but about an entire, global cultural shift. If "culture" is even the right word here. Simply put, we are heading straight into what, by comparison, Middle Ages of the roman catholic church will seem like a golden age of freedom and democracy.
