I think that one of the problems regarding immigration in Europe, is because of the low birth rate of host citizens and the immagrants are producing at a higher right, just soon to have a larger population than the orginal inhabiants. Somebody tell if I am wrong on this.

I think you are right about the birth rates
Also Europeans IMO are more of elitists than Americans....In the US we tend to actually celebrate diversity. In Europe they think that diversity is deystroying the culture which they are used to. In the US however diversity is our culture, or at least a large part of it.

Ken.e I have to agree with you that. Also in Europe immigrants tend to not assimulate into society. Wilth the population ship, countries in the EU are actulay trying to encourage the natives to have more children.

I think Dom1 should be more sensitive with his comments about terrorism. Firstly, that is no result from racism commited by Brits, or from the UK not assimilating people correctly. But it is a result from the war in Iraq and (dare I say it) closer relations with the US. For example, Spain were attacked for the same reason.

Moreover, those are not examples of racism; British people (in general) despite some problems (I don't deny they exist, they are certainly a problem), accept other races in this country. And today there are few racist incidents, and it is not acceptable. Furthermore, the UK doesn't have large racist political parties, e.g. the most famous National Front in France.

Europeans do not believe that diversity is destroying their culture, we believe it is enhancing European culture. The motto of the European Union is "united in diversity." Europe is the most diverse continent on Earth.

If you travel to any large American city, you will find neighborhoods, where are races are represented.

In America regardless of your background you can achieve greatness. You have to strive for it and that means breaking down barriers and socialist ideas.

Scooby, NO
Those are the good Muslims. Sorry if you are so focused on bashing Muslims that you will not acknowledge that there are people who are both good Muslims and good Americans

Excuse me, in the Kingdom and Europe as a whole one can find races represented in every major city. One can achieve greatness in the USA can they?: Hurrican Katrina:

"Some 71 percent of blacks say the disaster shows that racial inequality remains a major problem in America, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted Sept. 6-7 among 1,000 Americans; 56 percent of whites feel this was not a particularly important lesson.

And while 66 percent of blacks think the government's response would have been faster if most of the victims had been white, 77 percent of whites disagreed."

- Katrina, Aftermath Galvanize Black America, September 9, 2005

Interesting how people who are not born in the USA cannot become president. Why can't they? Isn't that racist?

Futhermore, Europe doesn't have large racist organisations advocating violence against immigrants and racial groups, e.g. the Ku Klux Klan. Who's membership has actually increased since 1970. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan

The 2000 presidential election, out of the 1.9 million spoilt ballot paper, 1 million were cast by African Americans, who only made up only 12% of the vote.

http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=342&row=1
Politicians could easily have papers spoilt if they wanted to. In a country where one can succeed in if they work hard, why can't they win a presidential election even if the majority of the people voted for them?

Race riots: 2001 Cincinnati Riots, 1992 Los Angeles, Chattanooga Tenn e.t.c.

It would appear that the USA has a problem with racism that Americans refuse to acknowledge.
