The White Population of London is Rapidly Declining
Real American:
So the fact that the number of white people is declining in our very own countries is a good thing? What the hell kind of racist thinking is that? Seriously, bigots like M Dogg and Joachim really get me. White people are supposed to "celebrate" diversity....i.e. celebrate the fact that they are becoming minorities in their own countries.
What if a report came out that said the number of Japanese people living in Tokyo was rapidly falling. Would that be a good thing? Do you think the Japanese would celebrate that fact? What if the number of Muslims living in Cairo or Mecca was rapidly declining? Do you think Arabs would get together and talk about how great it is that they are becoming a minority in their own land??
LOL, you idiots really make me laugh.

Street Crime Surges In London
A huge surge in muggings, amid a worrying rise in violent crime, have been revealed in Home Office statistics.
The figures for recorded offences, a blow to the government's anti-crime crusade, show the first rise in England and Wales for six years.
The number of robberies - most of them muggings - increased by 19% in the year to September 1999 compared with a fall of nearly 6% over the previous 12 months.
Overall, police in England and Wales recorded a total of 5.2 million offences in the year to September 1999 - an increase of 2.2%.
'Hard reality'
Home Secretary Jack Straw acknowledged the increase, but said the figures showed "a dramatic variation in crime rates across the country".
Jack Straw: Variation in crime rates across country
But Fred Broughton, chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, immediately demanded more cash to deal with a situation which he said was "nothing short of alarming".
He said: "The figures are the hard reality of fewer police, underfunding and big increases in workloads."
The home office figures showed that the biggest rise in crime was recorded by the City of London force, which saw a 22% rise, followed by the West Midlands force (16%) and Bedfordshire (12%).
Stop and search
In London, Britain's biggest force, the Metropolitan Police, saw its total number of offences top the million mark with a 9% rise in offences.
The city has witnessed a heated debate over stop and search tactics which have disproportionately targeted members of the black community.
Crime figures for England and Wales 1998/99
Violent offences: Up 5%
Sexual offences: Up 2%
Robberies: Up 19%
Domestic burglary: Down 5%
Non-domestic burglary: Down 3%
Theft of motor vehicles: Down 2%
Stop and searches have declined following the Macpherson Report into the death of the black teenager Stephen Lawrence - which criticised the tendency to target black and Asian youths.
Some senior policemen have blamed that for an increase in street crime, and Mr Straw admitted the reluctance of officers to use stop and search powers following the report "may have been a factor" behind the rise.
He said: "It has obviously made a difference. I am aware of course that the Lawrence report did represent a deep trauma for many officers in the Metropolitan Police Service and they became very concerned indeed about whether actions on the street could be categorised as racist.
"We want to see the Metropolitan Police use those powers. I think we will see, after the shock to the service in the past year as a result of the Lawrence report, an improvement in their work on the streets."
The figures released on Tuesday are broken down into divisional areas of police forces for the first time.
They show a variable picture of the ability of forces to tackle crime, with Lancashire showing the biggest drop in offences with 11%.
Rapes increase sharply
The rise in violent crime, which includes attacks, sex offences and robbery, is the largest since 1995/1996, when attacks increased by 10%.
John Stevens: Meeting Mr Blair
Paul Wiles, director of Research, Development and Statistics at the home office, said the overall increase in crime was caused by the rises recorded by just two forces, the Metropolitan Police and the West Midlands force, which saw a combined rise in offences of 129,000, larger than the overall increase across England and Wales of 115,000.
But he said both these forces had been affected particularly by a new system for recording crime.
The report said two-thirds of the increased robberies had taken place in just four forces: the Met, West Midlands, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire.
Increased wealth
But West Yorkshire - along with Northumbria - was one of just two metropolitan forces where crime fell.
People will be quite right to demand an urgent explanation from the Home Secretary as to why we are less and less safe on our streets
Ann Widdecombe
Research published by the home office last year suggested Britain was on the brink of a sharp rise in crime, partly due to increased personal wealth.
Most offences are committed by men aged under 24, while the 1980s baby boom also contributed to warnings of imminent problems.
Publication of the crime figures coincided with the first meeting between Prime Minister Tony Blair and the incoming Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, John Stevens.
Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Simon Hughes said the figures gave the government "a clear warning" that police chiefs need increased resources.
Shadow home secretary Ann Widdecombe said: "People will be quite right to demand an urgent explanation from the Home Secretary as to why we are less and less safe on our streets and in our homes under the party who promised to be tough on crime."
Crime figures for Scotland will be published in March or April.

Look at my avatar. What ethnicity am I. Muthaphukka, I'm Native and Mexican, and I live by L.A. which used to be Mexico, and is one of the most diverse places in the planet. Mexico City is full of Spanish, Portigals, Muslim, and other ethnic groups. That is a good thing. The world is getting smaller. And why do people think non white people make crimes. Even Tom admitted his area had more crime when it was all white. Try looking past color in terms of crime, and you will realize there is more than just a color. Oh, and Japan I think is behind in what they do. They still explote their Korean minority, and made many laws against non Japanese people. That in it's self is wrong, but then again you don't hear me praising Japan do you. Mexico on the other hand, has many, many brown people, but we celebrat our white people too, and other aspects of our history. The Irish that fought for us against the United States are heros. Latin America in general is a very diverse place, with many Europeans and people of African backgrounds, and we celebrat many things. Diversity is not to be feared, because diversity is the future. (can't wait until CWalker's daughter brings home a black man... lol)
