“What do you think of Birmingham Cathedral?” the man was asked. “It’s s***,” he replied, “but it’s a nice place to smoke weed. They’re not my ancestors — I don’t care.”
The fellow making this statement had obviously been raised in the U.K.; he spoke with a typical British accent. But he clearly had no use for “his” country’s culture.
How many Birmingham residents share his “I don’t care” sentiment is a question. But for sure is that many could join him in saying, “They’re not my ancestors.” Birmingham is, after all, a “British” city that is now majority non-indigenous. Or, put differently, it’s majority black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) — aka majority non-white. This is called “diversity” and is supposedly a good thing.
It’s considered so good, in fact, that now there’s an official effort to make Britain’s countryside more like Birmingham. (That is, “less white.”) As The Telegraph explains:
(more…)National Landscapes — previously called areas of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) — and their local councils have since committed to a number of diversity targets.
