I don't know what your story is, by the way: self-hating white liberal or ethnic minority with a chip on his shoulder? It's one or the other.
Hmmm, how about a third: I LIKE MULTICULTURALISM.
I'll simply wager this, British cultural was a lot less 'enjoyable' (i.e. how much your average person would likely get out of it) a hundred years ago compared to today. There are many reasons for this but one is multiculturalism. I accept that ethnic background can (via intermediating factors) have an inclining (merely inclining) factor on cultural output. Multiculturalism has added substantial diversity, without sacrificing the quality, providing both good and bad just like prior British culture did.
I fully accept ethnically white British culture (i.e. any culture produced before multiculturalism) has declined thanks to multiculturalism. I'd just be interested to know if you have much knowledge of what that culture was like? Can you point to specific works of culture that benefited from its nationalistic content or being based upon ethnically white culture? Food, music, literature, whatever else, please provide some examples.
