Prejudice"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

Taken from www.annaraccoon.comThe inimitable Anna puts my point of view far more coherently that I ever could...
"Walk the daytime streets of any big city in the UK, and you will find yourself amongst the throng of economically inactive multi-culturalism.
They don’t look like European migrants to me, they speak in many tongues, they certainly don’t appear to be at work ‘contributing to our economy’, they lean against shop fronts on street corners, and their wives fill the market places like a cloud of bluebottles.
Who are they Mr Brown? They are not your ‘net migrants’ hard at work packing carrots in deepest Norfolk. They are not caring for our elderly in their homes. They are just ‘there’, supported by someone, housed by someone, fed by someone, clothed by someone.
I am prepared to accept that some of them, a few hundred maybe, have faced unimaginable troubles in deepest Rwanda, they have my sympathy; I understand that some of them were born in Britain and it is not their fault that they cannot find a job;, but not thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions even, of economically inactive faces who stare impassively into the middle distance, quite content that they have become our responsibility.
They are the people we need to talk about Mr Brown, so would you mind not fudging the issue with your talk of net migration, and how highly skilled migrants contribute to our economy. We know that. We weren’t complaining about them.
Could you get back on track and talk about the millions, black, white, and rarely Chinese, who manage to shop, stay dry, warm, entertained, mobile and in communication with their friends and relatives without any sign of contributing to our economy?
They don’t appear to be taking ‘British jobs from British workers’ as you said. Why would they? They seem to be managing just fine as it is."

UhhThey don’t appear to be taking ‘British jobs from British workers’ as you said
No, I did not say that. Read my post again please. There is nothing in it which complains about "taking our jobs". That is totally not the point of what I am saying. Please stop trying to misquote me.
