Am I an immigrant - I hope not
I want to discuss culture/race and to some people, that is enough to call me an immigrant. I don't think I am so here goes....
I am temporarily living in an area in Texas which has the highest % Christian/Texan population in the US. In the grocery store, 70 % of the ladies have a full covering of makeup and big hair, and I can only just see their eyes...
99% of the check out staff are wetbacks (ok mexian american) and I talk to them and find them generally very pleasant and intelligent and happy and clean. Much more so than the equivalent 'white trash' youth in this town who are into drugs and guns and pickup trucks and Church etc etc
Nevertheless I feel uncomfortable as I did not volunteer or vote for my 'little bit of England abroad' to have it's culture changed to something nearer Mexico City than Dallas, The Series. And if it's not the Mexicans it's the Indians, Asians, and those damned Europeans. The place is just crawling with the buggers!
You see, it's not like I wanted to come over here and be American. Oh no. I'm a Brit, and damned proud of it too. I just can't believe that these Mexicans, Poles, Cubans and Muslims have the nerve to come to this, my adopted country, and behave like it's theirs. They don't even try to speak the lingo or eat cheeseburgers.
I know that talking like this, many Americans will think I'm just a typical British immigrant, but they're so wrong. You see I know that my cultural superiority makes me different from those bloody foreigners. I mean, some don't even worship the Christian religion that I've rejected. And as for the Mexicans - they're Catholic, which has far less in common with Americans that an atheist like me.
These people shouldn't be allowed into the US, if you ask me. It's just wrong. They make people like me look like IMMIGRANTS, when nothing could be further from the truth.
What do you all think*?
*please don't tell me what you think unless you agree. I hate cliques where people disagree with me.
** by the way, I'm trolling in this post, but in an intellectually superior way. Any good British atheist will understand this, and leave me alone.

It certainly wasn't written for your benefit. If you can't see the humor in your original post ("I'm a liberal atheist, but I don't like all these foreigners so I'm going to emigrate") then you're beyond help.

Re: Am I an immigrant - I hope not
Thats twice you have done it - I didnt say I was a liberal - I said there were Liberals in Wisconsin
I note you didnt chose to move to Karachi Pakistan ? is there a reason for that ? oooh careful !
Did I say my move was primarily dictated by my cultural isolation in the Uk ? You have assumed so much and misrepresented so much and misquoted so much that we can't have a reasonable discussion about it.
Shame as I know you are a deep thinker otherwise you could not have devised the mirror image post, intellectually disconnected as it is in some regards
too sleepy to wait for the response....
goodnight fellow Britons

Did you have $600,000 when you came to the USA? If so it is ok to feel superior to the wetbacks and ploes (with or without state subsidized Indiam fiancees)...but you are not allowed to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
