Old people or not some rightly want to retain their "own" culture. Just as immigrants want to retain their culture. It seems a person born in a country wanting to retain their own heritage is somehow a "racist" but an imigrant rejecting the culture of the host country is not a racist........How strange the way people analyze life.......
Standing up for ones own way of life is not racist. Racist is when people hate someone just because they are of a different race or colour and no other reason....

I agree with this, I feel that older people are more resistant to change. Younger generations are more tolerant and are used to the countries state of flux as we adapt to the changing face of the UK. Schools educate children in multiculturalism, but the elderly are still confused and as said ignorant towards other cultures that differ greatly from our own.
