After all their country was filled with foreigners without the indigenous population ever being consulted?

Sometimes i wonder how it will be in the near future.
Not good as British people live the British way, foreigners do not.

First of all, we're called "Native Americans." The term "Red Indians" is VERY offensive (hey, I'm light olive with hair courtesy of Manic Panic Flash Lightning).
The UK had an empire where it did the same exact thing--displacing indigenous people and pushing its culture on others without their consent. It's hard for me as a Native woman to have any sympathy for the UK in that respect, as they did that to my particular nation (Eastern Band Cherokee.) But a difference between Cherokee people and the anti-immigration faction in Britain is that we Cherokee were much more open to new things. What makes the so-called "British way" better than everything else?
And to the lady above me whose kids were all scared by other sorts of people, you're talking to a woman who speaks six languages. There's no excuse for only speaking one language in the Information Age, nor is there an excuse for such xenophobia.

I, as a Welshman who's land was taken by the English, can certainly relate to the plight of the native Americans,

I live in a quiet little village in the middle of Norfolk. We do not have a single non-white, non-British person in our entire village! I recently took my daughters to London for an overnight trip. We were there 2 days/1 night and didn't speak to another English person the whole time, Not One!!! How scary was this for my children!

I don't know how the native americans felt. I just wish Enoch Powell was alive, he would say, rightly, I told you so.

Most countries are now multi-cultural.
