I personally blame them for all the discrimination and ill-feeling between the races in Malaya and Singapore ..... no questions about it, they divided and ruled .... and when they left, they left behind a nasty legacy ....

could they mass-import all the PRCs so they won't overrun sg?

there's more than 1.1 billion of them .....more than enough to over-run half the world ....
they are importing a lot of peasants too ..... remember the cockle picking and drowning cases ? .... all illegal PRC migrants ... being fed dogfood by the snakeheads ....
Outside of cosmopolitan London, English people can be insular snoots. Society and relations between communities and classes have regressed to the point where people don't feel safe from criminals or the PC/HS brigade. And let's not get started on the standards of morals and education. The sensationalist media hasn't helped either. All these things are being felt elsewhere too but not as sorely as it appears.
I remember this CBC feature I caught in pluto ....
it's about community relations between immigrants from the middle east and south asia and the white locals in a working class neighbourhood ....
on one hand ... you have those immigrants openly worshipping osama and riling against the west, young kids talking openly of being suicide bombers and adults ranting about all the injustices the west is doing to the muslim world (while living in the west, mind you), and talking about taking over britain by birth and migration rates in a hundred years ...
then the scene cuts to an old english lady who crys while she complains about being spat on and stoned while she's walking down her old street by the new comers ....
next, they went to a yokels neighbourhood, where young redneck louts, kids really, were drinking lager and smoking with their older relatives, all unemployed of course, in the afternoon. talking calmly about the coming race war and how they'll kill too to defend their values their culture, and their way of life (religion was conspiciously absent from the list)... adherents of the british first party of course... they all looked like little storm troopers, only less in shape and drinking and smoking ... yoob culture at it's finest ....
sensationalist reporting perhaps ? ... but it leaves you no doubt that they are up the shit creek without a paddle ....
this is funny...

Something about it being irritating or something?
I only saw the headlines but not read the article
Now this one had me spewing water onto the keyboard ....
a few days ago .....
Fears that an Iranian ban on imports from its arch foe Israel was flouted by the sale of Jaffa oranges have sparked an inquiry in Tehran, reports say.
City authorities asked the judiciary to take action after the Israeli fruit was allegedly imported in boxes marked as Chinese, local media report.
Such is the infamy of dealing with Israel that an Iranian official went so far as to accuse the opposition of a "citrus plot".
imagine the panic ! ... it's a zionist plot ! ... the zionists are subverting the iranian fruit market ! .....
then comes the twist in the tale .....
A twist has emerged in the story of Israeli citrus fruit reportedly sold in Iran in defiance of a ban on commercial dealings between the two enemy states.
It has now been revealed the fruit, a type of orange-grapefruit hybrid marketed as Jaffa Sweetie, were not Israeli in the first place.
The Sweeties were brought to Iran from China, where faking the origin of goods is a common practice.

This is related to what you said: Polish immigrants abused on Facebook
"The paper adds that some of the sites most active members all happen to have one thing in common – unemployment, shortly shorn hair and a lack of respect for English spelling."
