I would just like to point out that Marie Antoinette was not in fact French but Austrian by birth, being born a Hapsburg.

I by the way am told that my direct line of Male Ancestry can be traced back through identified individuals to 1430 and apparently I am almost certainly descended from Edward III, (also possibly Charlemagne, Mohammed, Confucius, and if he existed and has any descendants, probably Jesus too, but then you all too are all likely descended from most of them).

We are all ultimately related to everyone else and we might not need go back that far to find our last common ancestors.

To get back on topic, I think it might be a good idea to examine the subject of 'Racism' from a different perspective, that as common to the 'United Kingdom'

If we concern ourselves with the matter according to the 'PC' view of the evils of it, a very interesting point comes to light and it is well worth considering since it could well explain WHY the issues of 'Racism' suddenly became so prominent, particularly in the UK and also particularly in the recent history of the 'Once Great Nation' which some say is still 'Great' and good luck to them.

In the days when the fearsome might of the 'British Empire' was truly famed and feared throughout the world, those mighty warriors and statesmen who engineered the expansion of their territories became quite adept in 'Tagging' the downtrodden populations as they passed through and over them, the 'Tags' were ALWAYS detrimental and demeaning and the jokes abounded in the 'Halls of Power' and elsewhere, indeed, the more insulting the 'Tags' the more readily they were received among the elite and the 'Campaigns' against the 'Fuzzy Wuzzies' in 'Bongo Bongo Land' were always a great topic of conversation in the 'Officers Mess' when the 'Campaigners' elaborated among themselves, their tales of 'Derring Do'.

So you see, actually, ALL the names NOW regarded as so offensive were invented by those who should have known better BUT, as is usual in the UK, the BLAME for any misconduct has to be passed downward to the general 'Whipping Classes' since they are like sponges and can absorb any amount of shite their leaders choose to throw at them.

Prince Phillip remarked that he should not remain in the company of his 'Japanese Hosts' for too long, lest he develop 'Slitty Eyes' a great joke according to his 'Brown Nosers' BUT, woe betide any one of the general public who dared make such a comment, he also passed a remark to his equals (according to protocol) in 'Papua New Guinea' when he enquired whether or not the 'Wogs' were still eating each other another great joke, until one of the 'Prols' try it.

So you see, there IS a reason for why it has become so 'Taboo' to pass 'Racist' remarks, it exposes the ignorance of those that went before AND, vividly emphasizes the fact that the 'Bulldog' which terrorized many nations when it was a pup, is now receiving a well deserved kick in the arse now that it's jaws have lost their clamp.

So to ALL those persons of various nationalities who have been subjected to the inventive insults of the past generations, take heart, for as the 'Black Man' said.

"De higher dem fly, de further dem drop, an' the mo' dem Honkeys push us down, the mo we come up".

We’re all racists… get over it!

Would you rather your daughter marry a foreigner or one of your own?

I’m sure you’d all rather one of your own for the obvious perfectly logical reasons which just so happen to be… racist!

I am married to a "foreigner" and I have a Japanese sister in law, and an American great nephew. I don't have any particular problem with the ethnicity or genos of whoever my Children might chose to marry, one of whom is incidentally married to a Russian, but if the person happened to be a lying thieving toe-rag, like it seemed my Sister's first (English and thus to me non foreign ) husband was, I'd be a tad worried.

Don't concern yourself with his imaginary extrapolations.

[Get Real!]

My new, wife to be, already is, maybe to be ...Belorussian !

Did I ever mention that pedophilia law is a little bit different in Cyprus?

Basically, you can’t marry someone who is young enough to be your great grand daughter.

Or perhaps a few words of caution from one old friend to another.

'Murphy's Law' on the perspective between a younger woman and an older man:-

"Sex is like snow; you never know how many inches you are going to get or how long it is going to last. ... If you get them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow. ... Never trust a woman who acts like you are so sexy she can't help herself (except when she has her hands in your pocket)".

Take care and enjoy.
