Among all the other junk mail today came a brochure from Yorkshire with a black on the cover, b****s all throughout. Is this representative of England today ? I hope not but with the Brexit mess and all the Muslim mayors, it is beginning to appear so. If any English apply for entrance visas, they should be handed out forthwith. If we aren’t very careful, this will be America. I’m certain this seems trivial, but it is not. It’s becoming more serious everyday.

That is a curious thing, Carol. A friend and I were just having a conversation yesterday about a pictorial on Yahoo News showing the 50 prettiest woman of various countries. I said, "If it's Ireland, I want to see a freckled redhead." My friend objected. "If it is about the prettiest, does color matter?" And the debate took off from there.

The question, of course, was there any intent to be representative of that country's actual makeup or just beauty? America is tricky in this regard, especially if we count s***es. As a nation of immigrants, what ethnic or cultural group would best represent America? And by best I mean nails our heritage and general population. There is no clear answer to that question in this country. Yes, most were English yet there were Native Americans and Spaniards and French and so forth. A melting pot.

But for England, r****t or not, like you allude to, I would expect to see a White woman. The brochure form Yorkshire could have innocently used those images or was influenced to purposely produce those images as propaganda for a mind shift in what it means to be English. Anyway, something to mull over.

You make sense. I have a few objections but not big. It is probably propaganda. The BBC would have you believe that in villages all over England every couple is mixed
race. What do they derive from this kind of pictorial?
P.S. thank you for at least reading.

They can possibly derive greater political and social power. If this is the supposed norm, objections can be quelled or dampened, the radical change in culture accepted. The Left is not always Machiavellian in trying to push for e******y by such pieces as that in the Yorkshire brochure. Often it is their belief such things will disarm friction. Yet they can be "useful i***ts" for something more treacherous. Impossible to say which right now.

Carol Kelly

Very thoughtful. Thank you for that.

You're welcome. What I forgot to mention is that as this view inculcates, gradually becomes the accepted norm, all your possible objections, no matter how reasonable and fair, will be seen as prejudiced and condemned. Or, act sooner than later.

The advertising agencies are doing the same thing here. My wife commented that it seems every couple/family shown in commercials is mixed race. I don't see that many mixed race couples/families in the real world, but that might be because we live in the middle of the country and in a small town.
