WOW - There are some right jerks on this site. Some of the comments and questions on here are damn right offensive. I'm from south africa, I moved to the UK, to be safe. I've experienced a LOT of racist comments and insults during my stay here, but it's worth it just to be alive.
I have my own house, which I pay for, I pay my own bills, I work full time, and still find time to go to college.
I have NEVER borrowed money or had benefits the whole time I have been here, and nor would I ever want them. I'm seriously very offended by the things I've read here. Not as much by you, as I am by the rude guys who commented on your question.
Now I have a question for you, and the idiots below who think it's cool to insult...
If you don't like people moving into your country, why do people from your country move to other countries?
I've seen countless brits and americans in south africa...I was never rude to them...
PLUS - people from britain and america move to places like spain, france and other forgein countries etc....Do you have a problem with that too, or is your issue purely based on skin color?
So not cool.

I assumed you were talking about the UK - but now I am not so sure? It's not full of racists at all - we are one of the most tolerant societies in the West. Unfortunately that tolerance has been abused by some to such a high degree that people are sick of it and express that.
In some areas delivery drivers have refused to deliver to some households - because individuals come out with a whole wad of ID with the same photo on but all different names - yes ripping off yours and mine accounts and that is the tip of the iceberg - now that is what makes people unhappy!
Having an opinon against those that are abusing the system, the state, and a community is not being racist - it is a normal reaction to wanting to keep the country going and a reasonable place to live!

The world is full of racists. I myself am a racists. I really hate stupid people. But in spite of my racists beliefs I am not allow to kill or even discriminate against stupid people. Can you believe that under our code of laws if I call a stupid person stupid in public I can be sued? I have to share restaurants, theaters, etc with them. No back of the bus, no stupid sections in public places, they have all those laws protecting them. This isn't true in a lot of other countries. Many places you can be imprisoned or even killed because of your religion, color, political beliefs, drinking, having sex outside of marriage, and a whole range of things that aren't nearly as bad as being stupid. Maybe that is why they come here. For the equal treatment under the law.

Because without exception, this is by far the best country in the world to live in. That's why the whole world is trying to get in and illegals won't leave unless forced to do so.

actually life in the US is not that good afterall, but u see, our currency is 50 pesos/dollar, if i earned even 20dollar per day its 30,000/month back home.more than a salary of a good engineer!!we are here for money which is hard-earned from our own sweat, not from the local's tax or govt. we dont enjoy ur free-health care,or food-stamp,free-housing because we pay our own house rents,insurance and food.like other legal immigrants,we are working hard even with lowest salary in town simply because we are just considering the high conversion of dollar to peso.

You've got a point here. I don't know. If I was a foreigner, I wouldn't want to live here. The racists being part of the reason. I'dn much rather live on the continent or in Australia.

Dude, I really think you need to take another good look around this country! Sure there are stereotypes. But all races in this country have thier own stereotypes. People like you are more close minded than the majority of Americans, sorry.

One of the lesser of our problems, surely.
Still beats me why people want to come here, though, considering the mess Blair and Brown have made of this country. Maybe they don't check out the news properly to find out what's going on.

WE ARE NOT RACIST. we are just not allowed to express an opinion that contradicts left wing liberalism. liberals are the real racists. they come her because they know they can still get on the gravy boat. Freebies all they way. but not if your indigenous to the UK
