How I am partly to blame for Mass Immigration The greatest mass migration in our history has taken place. ... It wasn't because we liked immigrants, but because we didn't like Britain. We saw immigrants - from anywhere - as allies against the staid, settled, conservative society that our country still was at the end of the Sixties. Also, we liked to feel oh, so superior to the bewildered people - usually in the poorest parts of Britain - who found their neighbourhoods suddenly transformed into supposedly 'vibrant communities'. If they dared to express the mildest objections, we called them bigots. ... The thing that made these new residents different was culture - language, customs, attitudes, sense of humour. Rather than them adapting to our way of life, we were adapting to theirs. This wasn't integration. It was a revolution. Yet nobody - especially their elected representatives - would listen to them, because they were assumed to be Powellite bigots, motivated by some sort of unreasoning hatred. I now believe that the unreasoning hatred comes almost entirely from the liberal Left. It really does seem so many hate their society. Perhaps even hate the color of their skin. Want to change it. The grass is greener on the other side of the fence sort of mentality. I despise Tex-Mex food. I should demand such restaurants offer Pizza. It's my right to go there and be accommodated. I should not have to adapt. That's what is happening, in Britain, the EU, the States... Even the AP is changing its ways concerning the term "illegal immigration". Trying to balance on the head of the political correctness pin. The underlying theme being "Thou shalt not offend!" The company's decision comes after years of controversy over the term. Fusion, the ABC-Univision joint venture, does not use "illegal immigrant" because we believe it dehumanizes those it describes and we find it to be linguistically inaccurate. Linguistically inaccurate? Well, perhaps so. As Jay Leno opined, "Undocumented Democrat".
