The Scottish census was published today. 55, 000 ( of those who responded ) were born in Poland.

The main news story was that 62% of Scots consider themselves "Scottish only" - not British. census

In Scotland, twice as many people now speak Polish than speak Gaelic.

The world is changing and national barriers are being broken down. There are some interesting ideas about how people will identify themselves in the future.

Yes, I'm hoping Europe in general will be much more multicultural in the future with non-European identities. When I see a happy couple consisting of a black African man holding hands with his pregnant white Polish or British wife, I envision a future of peace.

Hell no. Europeans aren't about to give up their native land after battling outsiders for centuries. Stay in the ghetto dump USA if you want that.

It doesn't make you happy that people are breaking racial barriers? Not that long ago, it was frowned upon for a white person to date a non-white person. (Well, it still is frowned upon by some people).

In the UK, Scotland included for now at least, nobody thinks about stuff like that nowadays, do they? Plenty of couples have different skin colours and the world didn't end.

I would have to disagree with you there. Some are happy about it, some don't think anything about it, and some racists will get mad about it.

But some Europeans do think it will end. And this mentality was more common not that long ago hence why interracial couples back then weren't as common. That's why I'm saying it's a sign of peace when more interracial couples are around...an end to hatred.

Honest question: Are you European?

Born and raised in America. My ancestry consists of mostly German (Bavarian) and some Italian, Native American, and English. :-)

Then why do you speak for Europeans? It's like me telling Africans in South Africa that they need to get over their racism and accept Whites. Or telling Israeli's that they need to swallow their racism and open their borders.

You are American. You will never understand the notion of Native people. Each race of people deserves their own region. Shoving multiculturalism down natives throats will just fuel more racism especially in hard economic times. ''The other'' is the first target when $$$ starts decreasing, it's just human nature.

I understand my Native American ancestors who were slaughtered by the white man when Europeans invaded America.

Only some. Common sense prevails in the end, and only the inadequate get worked up by who marries whom.

And look at the current living standards of American natives: banished to Inland prisons.

Mass immigration has a pattern: immigrants take over cities, example London, Brussels, Paris, Berlin and natives are pushed to outside rural areas.

London, Brussels, Paris, Berlin

Have you spent much time in any of those places?
pierogi2000  4 | 226

Yes and they are over-run with immigrants
jon357  73 | 23071

If you think that, I doubt you've spent much time there at all.

Then again, immigrants should be something you'd actually know about (though I'm sceptical you know much about anything, since you said that Japan is a 'Slavic nation') being one yourself.

The Europeans didn't treat the indians any different than they treated each other.

It was their land you idiot. The Native American population wouldn't be so small today if it weren't for all the deaths from diseases and mass murders caused by Europeans and their descendants.

So true.

Disgusting. I hate America more and more every day and I love it.

Just a bit more more immigrants in America should do the trick and another city will look like Detroit lol. What a paradise that will be!

pierogi2000, does your idea of multicultural immigration include Polish people who are the topic of discussion? Or are you just racist? as all your 'arguments' can be used for any mass Immigration.

I'm just curious how stupid you really are.

Why does every leftie in America claim to be part native? You are as native to America as I am to Somalia.

Interesting. I wonder if/when the BBC will set up BBC Polska to go along with the £15 million of licence-payer money that they invest on BBC Alba every year.

Europeans aren't about to give up their native land after battling outsiders for centuries.

Sure about that? You yourself didn't think twice about dumping what you claim is your native land for the riches and opportunities of the USA.

So 2.16 million households paying £145 a year licence fee should be grateful for

£15 million of licence-payer money

Aye, the great subsidy myth strikes again.

Do you 'feel' the same about Nigerians, Kenyans, etc? Shouldn't the Japanese do likewise? Chinese? ...or just the Europeans?

I understand my Native American ancestors who were slaughtered by the white man when Europeans invaded America.

Since you've stated that your " ancestry consists of mostly German (Bavarian) and some Italian, Native American, and English" most of your ancestors were the ones who slaughtered. As a reminder, native Americans were killing each other in tribal warfare for centuries prior to the coming of the 'white man'.

American liberals are guilt ridden. They believe in their own fictions. How about Polish American political correctness in all its absurdity as shown here.....

Not that that money pays for anything else on the tv or radio, does it....

This is the same argument every racist in America makes. Yes, there was tribal warfare but that is no excuse for invading land that didn't belong to you and then killing off the natives. Despite tribal warfare, the Native Americans would be thriving today if the Europeans never came.
