Venting my spleen.

I wasn't going to write this at first, I couldn't really see the point. But as I thought on it, it occured to me that I probably should, just to get it off my chest and maybe to spread a bit on sense to the masses.
What am I on about? I'm talking about the rash of, quite frankly, racist, bigoted and downright offensive comments posted in some threads, by some posters. I'm all for freedom of speech, I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However sometimes I wonder where people get there ideas from, when I hear people commenting on foreign immigration 'diluting' our Englishness. That the integration of cultures is fundementally flawed, I have to say that my blood runs cold.
It is from this standpoint that Nazism took a hold of Germany, have we learnt nothing in the last 60 years? I hope and pray that these people are in the minority and I hope and pray that as a nation we don't fall into the trap that to preserve our culture we must prevent infiltration from others. Master race anyone? You should be ashamed of yourselves.
I work in a multicultural company, we don't seek to dilute each others culture but we learn from each other all the time. We are united by a common goal, we are tollerant of our differances. If it can work in business, surely it can work in society as well?
