Asian muslims are far more racist than whites. Specially the ones that are born in Britain. One of the main problem is the British law is too soft on blacks, muslims, asians.

(1)Well, mr foxy whiskers, if it weren't because of whiteys industrial revolution, there wouldn't be such a massive worldwide overpopulation, climate/landscape change and greed for consumerism and individualism. The not-whiteys would have no more reason than they had 300 years ago for moving to the west. That is: almost none. They would still be there in their traditional societies with no luxury, high infant mortality rates and low

Fact of the matter: No matter what race, a given person can achieve anything with an equal amount of opportunity and education; yes, 'white' people are a minority, that's always been the case - you're arguing that 'because we white people are a minority, we should not allow them into the glory of 'where we are'' - 'x jobs for x nationality workers' is bullshit - there are more qualified doctors and engineers graduating in india and china etc. than there are graduating high school elsewhere.
