I grew up in the 40/50s and was married in the 60's. There were no coloured children at our schools then, it was the Jewish people who were the strangers, and the adults treated them with some suspicion. And the Catholics were also given a cold shoulder, the nuns used to knock at the Irish Catholics house on Fridays and they would have to give them money. I had friends both Catholic and Jewish.as children we did not see the distrust that adults did On the other hand my granddaughter has a lot of friends of different nationalities. She has grown up with them, attending schools with them and I imagine that she would feel the same as you do. I'm sorry it distresses you hc, As an adult now I see the invasion of all these foreign people as a threat to the stability of my home and the things I have worked for. They have brought with them an alien culture, terrorism and medieval punishments. The Sharia law appals me, and I hope it is never made legal here. It seems to be a mockery to all that my father fought for.
