Firstly, this thread should be in the Serious Debates Forum not a BB one.

Secondly, I agree that the immigrants coming to our country are often very prejudiced and it is fortunate for them that they are taken in by a country that is tolerant, fair and bends over backwards, (sometimes to the detriment of the indigenous population), in order to provide them with homes, food, schooling, medical facilities and employment.

I am proud that Britain is the most welcoming and tolerant nation on earth - I challenge anyone to cite any other country that takes in the levels of immigrants that we do, considering most refugees and asylum seekers will risk life and limb to cross several safe countries in order to get here. Is that a deafening silence I hear?

Immigration aside, judging by the comments on this forum alone, sexism, homophobia and disability discrimination is still thriving in the younger generation, so despite the strides in legislation and education, ignorance and prejudice in these areas still prevails.
