Oh! Dear :oops: Perhaps I should be demoted and you should try and read the article without the need for colours....You know...Like the couple of people before you did... :roll: :roll:


Zan dear, I don't mean to disappoint you but I really think they just pretended to read it :roll:

But on a reflective note, keeping in topic, I really don't mind what colours you use or what you call them. They are all the same to me . . . COLOURS. Just as we are all the same to me . . . . HUMANS.


OH! You are trying so hard to be bitter, sweat and intelligent.......Well two out of three aint' bad I suppose........ :wink:


I don't sweat . . . I feel the heat :roll:

Dear Sir,

Do you mean "filing" as in putting into files . . . . :?

or

Do you mean "filling" as in blowing up . . . . :?

Yours sincerely

phoenix

P.S. May I have a break now as I am needed in my domestic capacity?

Thanks kindly boss.

Surveys done with recent migrants to any societies would reflect the same picture. :roll:

Migrants move to another country filled with the glow of presumed prosperity and better conditions. Then they have a reality check . . . and it is not surprising they would complain about what they did in fact find.

Studies with migrants over a longer time period, and especially once the migrants have had time to integrate (something the TCs never did) usually are a better indicator of institutionalised / personal racism.

This article is a non-starter . . . we have no idea of how the questions were loaded.

Before you jump the gun at condemning GCs shah, reflect on the fact that you are just looking for "facts" with which to condemn them . . . making you . . . . . . . a racist!

That would be a great speech if it were not for the fact that repatriates and Pontians are in there..... :roll: :roll: :lol:
