Welcome to b.com Ukgurl I am not a Bangladeshi, I am white, BUT in my college believe me I am an ethnic minority Are you sure you want to know about the west?????? well basically, anything that is morally incorrect happens here; i.e. racism, sexism, capitalism and any other 'ism' you can think of. Culture is fish and chips, sex is out of control, and religion is either individualistic or non-existent anything else you would like to know???? just ask the Marawak!!!!!!!!

.......and nice to meet ya

Thankyou for your reply.Im also white and was born in the Uk. I was wondering if you have any ethnic minority family at all? And what makes you feel so strongly about your view of the Uk? Please get any friends or chat mates from the Forem to join the conversation! Thankyou! Ukgurl17 aka Eve

Anytime Ukgurl Marawak by real name is Martin, and you can call me either My view of the UK comes from the fact that I have been here all my life, have never had a holiday and have never lived abroad. My family is not poor, but they do not like to go too far from home I am keen to explore. Also, a lot of my friends from other countries tell me that people don't like me because I am white and have no business caring for anybody that is not As for the stuff about religion and sex, it is unfortunately true that the UK does not have very high values as far as these are concerned. If you feel differently, I would be interested to hear your opinions about it

I have no ethnic minority family that I know about, but I like to think that somewhere I am related to somebody much different than me. Do you have any ethnic minority family?

In time I am sure the others will join in to help you with your research

Ooh whats up with urban Diva? I didnt mean to cause an arguement!! Erm the extent of ethnic minority in my family would be that my grandma is a Flemish jew but unfortunately my mother doesn't practice so my sister and i also dont practice either. I understand your point about the attitudes of a minority of non-whites......Im trying to understand their culture and how they live but there's always a few! Nevermind, you seem to be coming in handy so far!!! Thanks Martin, speak soon, Evexxx

Noting is UP wit me. He just seem to have some sort of misunderstanding about how Non-whites look at him for being white. And I thought you wanted info from minority. I dont know how he is a minority if he is in England. Maybe if he was in Bangladesh he would be a minority. But than again, I could be misunderstanding this whole topic. Sorry if I am.

Good luck on your whateva you are doing
