Naff as all too many ‘trendy’ western names might be, the apparent fact that certain ‘cultures’ don’t adopt more local names (from the host country) occasionally, just serves to further confirm the lack of integration/cohesion that multiculturalism is causing – ie, the ongoing destruction of britain as we knew it.m4rkb wrote:I'll say in their favour, at least they pick traditional names for their kids.

It is certain cultures yes, so point taken for sure.

Re: Multiculturalism - part 3
Yup, because their descendants worked on plantations in the US as slaves where their original names were removed so their identities where stripped off them and they had to adopt the names of their masters' choosing. This probably explains why they have these names.m4rkb wrote:It is certain cultures yes, so point taken for sure.

What Roy is suggesting is people coming here from the subcontinent, ignoring their heritage, traditions and religious practices to have indigenous names and if that happened, he'd be sneering at them for "selling out" and would have the same irrational contempt for them anyway.
Anyway m4rk, does their name really matter? Wouldn't it be boring if every cunt was called Dave, Bob, Jim and Mike?

Actually these people didn't grow up on plantations. Your seem to be getting mixed up with Kunta Kinte old son.
As far as I know they do it as they feel more British. Certainly the ones I had in mind anyway.

Ah OK. I've found over the years that younger British Sikhs tend to anglicise their traditional names much like you've indicated. Probably because a lot are into business and it's a good form of self promotion. I think with Muslims, they're expected to not use nicknames or alter their names.m4rkb wrote:Actually these people didn't grow up on plantations.

Re: Multiculturalism - part 3
Muslims tend to have their names based on religion so it's doubtful they would change them.
Abdul for instance I think means slave and Abdullah slave to God.
A good fucking job Kunta Kinte wasn't called Abdul then ennit or all hell would have broke loose.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

I'm with m4rk on this based on some of the Indian's I know. A lot of these are still Indian citizens and live in India.

I know no British Sikh's who have anglicised their name though they shorten them. My old mate Sarb is properly Sarbjit. And Muslim's do shorten their names, dear old Waseem is always Was. And he is a practising Muslim.

Re: Multiculturalism - part 3
I've experienced a number of Sikhs with whom I've worked and played football in the past who have English first names, same with women. Some Muslims of the Deobandi strand prohibit the shortening of names although you're right that shortening names is more commonplace.Carlos J wrote:kancutlawns wrote:Yup, because their descendants worked on plantations in the US as slaves where their original names were removed so their identities where stripped off them and they had to adopt the names of their masters' choosing.

Re: Multiculturalism - part 3
Whilst discussing Indian and Pakistani names. I've always noticed to my untrained eyes that the Indian football team throughout the years tended to have Portuguese sounding names or look more Nepalese in origin - I ken the Portuguese were there at one point - but is football a 'Christian game' in India?
Some names from their wiki
Eugenson Lyngdoh, Keegan Pereira, Rino Anto, Alwyn George, Rowlin Borges, but not to be too biased there is a Mohammed Rafique in there too
I'm guessing no one plays it, but still what that huge population, and the links to Britain, and their confederation you would think that they would at least qualify for the first round AFC qualifying, but they tend to go out early on. Even Bhutan made the first round and not too long ago they were the worst ranked team.
Oops, gone into the football a bit more than planned but I´d be fascinated if anyone knows more.
I dont know too many Indians or Pakistanis, but a few and I know a Jock in there
The couple of Chinese people I know have all anglicized their names too - George, John, and nope unfortuantely not Paul or Ringo, but Mike, Mike ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Kow. They are prods, Church of India, from Bangalore and Tamil Christians, hence time spent in Bangalore and Tamil Nadu. Even my charms could only get so far with some, as they would say they wanted to marry some good Christian Indian guy. Yeah right.

Re: Multiculturalism - part 3
I really dared think that the madness that has gripped the establishment regarding all things politically correct might be waning slightly in recent months, what with various proclamations that multiculturalism/mass immigration has not been a great success, but a couple of snippets in the news today just showed be how wrong I was.
The government is considering relaxing rules regarding faith schools (which of course is all about muslims), and is also - staggeringly - considering allowing muslim policewomen to wear the full face mask.
I do despair.

But instead of common sense dawning on people and saying "Right let's stop pretending any of this was a success" what we'll most likely get instead is a new wave of even more blinkered and intransigent liberals with their heads buried in the sand even further down than they were before.
All these Gender Studies graduates together with all the other meaningless social worker courses only have one area in which to find a job. Local authorities and associated state jobs.
Listening to the rubbish they come out with, do not be surprised to see it get even worse. It would be interesting (make that traumatic) to actually see what qualifications are required in the recruitment departments of the Police.
