multicultural Britain

Firstly, I want to say I don’t like Tony Blair, because he always makes Britain follow the USA in the international invent. Like this times, in his speech, which left me a negative impression again. Because he reiterate a crackdown on funding for religious and racial groups, saying in the future they would have to prove they aimed to promote community integration, are not destroy the society. I still think his speech was “alarming”.
I think Britain is a multicultural country. But I felt we can’t got the supposed deference in many aspects, such as the employment, emigration, public service, etc. whatever where the people from, Indian, African, or South American without white people. I just want to say racialism is still in existence. But in here it’s more badly than the USA. In here many people who were aboard can’t find a good job, they just can engage some simple and lowlihead job, although some of them have strong ability.
In my opinion, in the multicultural country, we must deference each people who come the different class, or from the poor country have the different complexion or religions, we need to understand their cultural, habit, anything. What is multicultural country, I think it meaning the country accepted many kinds of cultural from many places. Like in Muslim community, the Muslin people have heavy religions, in these countries there have many intricate problem, like the women’s power, people need follow the religion policy. I think we need to deference them are not ask them following us, because it’s so difficult for them., them have long tradition.
How to building a good multicultural country? Jamie Vaide, London, He said: "The right to be in a multicultural society was always implicitly balanced by a duty to integrate, to be part of Britain, to be British and Asian, British and black, British and white." Mr Blair also said: "If you come here lawfully, we welcome you. If you are permitted to stay here permanently, you become an equal member of our community and become one of us. "When it comes to our essential values - belief in democracy, the rule of law, tolerance, equal treatment for all, respect for this country and its shared heritage - then that is where we come together, it is what we hold in common."
I think so.
