ARGENTINA is our 2nd homeland

[ARGENTINA]

Thanks for the Argentine Republic Armenians along other minorities have integrated in all kind of governmental political activities fully in all level .For instance previous minister of security Leon Carlos Arslanian could be fine example among others armenians who contributed in critical key points in representing political authority . We are very aware in Europe ,Russia and USA racism or blood related brotherhood is long lasting illness which hasn't got immediate cure for the minorities. Unlike the" white "governmental models the other part of the glob here in LATIN AMERICAN countries (argentina,brasil,Venezuela,uruguay,chile .colombia etc.)the minorities enjoy extensively political and commercial freedom .

Well, I don't know much about Russia or all of the other European countries but here in the UK (and I'm sure it's the same in the USA), ethnic minorities have complete 'political and commercial freedom'. They have exactly the same rights as any other citizens (in some cases, some would argue, more).

Re: ARGENTINA is our 2nd homeland

well you want me to paint everting black that is ok with me..I am frequently visiting england since 1975 nothing have changed. The political freedom obtained by minorities is direct consequences of political inevitable mechanism of representing multicolored nationalities which they represent .Pakistanis,Hindus,chines,west-indies, living with english stocks had to have representatives in their borough people from their sort to solve their particular social problems. Deep down non of white english block will shake hand with any of the above minorities unless they are obliged to do it. Commercial freedom finishes if you go suburbs or small towns,you are not well come in no where if you have darkish skin colour. I know them because they take me as an Irish man or something else when we have social gatherings so their social act is natural as should be , no way maid sorry

This is not true, I work in an office where there are many West Indians, Aficans, Asians and East Europeans and most people get along just fine and don't even think about each other's race/skin colour etc.

Not true, almost all towns in England now have successful shops and garages run by Asians.

I can't imagine any Englishman mistaking an Armenian from Argentina for an Irishman :-s

I admit that in terms of social life, most people tend to stick more or less to their own race, especially outside of London. (Not that there is anything wrong with this.) But your picture of Britain as a place of racial hostility and oppression of minorities simply does not ring true.

Oh and by the way, Britain also has an Armenian in a high Government position; Lord Ara Darzi, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Health.
