It would be nice though if different nationalities would make an effort if they get an invite to a party/neighbourhood BBQ etc. It's called integrating! I don't think anyone at parties is expected to behave a certain way, we should all be able to be ourselves...tolerance and understanding on both sides is the answer, if different cultures want to live in peace next to each other.

I have a daughter who does these over the top parties and each kid has to then do the same when it's their birthday.
It's out of hand now as the next one tries to outdo the last one.
Imagine if these families know TJ might be there.
Has TJ's daughter picked up her fathers hatred and bigotry and fear?
There are very few black and Asian people here but I've not come across the problems TJ has with the few that are here.
Why should these families be expected to act out parts that you deem correct?
I can assure you very few white Brits intigrate with the natives in whatever lands they go to.
Many of the Jews in this country don't integrate with the natives even as far as having their own laws and courts outside of our judicial system but no one puts pressure on Jews to integrate.
If I was black or Asian I wouldn't let my kids anywhere near TJ and his kind would you?

I'm not talking about OTT teen parties where there might be lots of alcohol, maybe sex and even drugs involved. I was more thinking of neighbourhood gatherings. If newcomers or different nationalities can't cope with the way there neighbours like to gather, then maybe they are in the wrong Country...get it???

oh come on holly, you wouldn't expect a black family to go along to the local kkk meetings if that's how the neighbours like to hang out.

That could be the case, but I omitted to say that these mothers talking, their kids don't all go to the same school, so it's not an isolated case and surely it wouldn't be just balcks or Asians feeling that way?
Actually, I was inaccurate. At my grandson's party, an Asian kid did turn up with his dad who wasted no time in handing out leaflets to the gathered parents about the local curry house he owns.

At my grandsons old school .with the older grandson apart from him only one other child could speak English in his glass . So there was very little chance of other class mates coming to his birthday party . So if it was a kids birthday in a class. At the end of day the school would have treats and hand them out to other pupils to celebrate the child's birthday

her rollerskating parties were a regular in the calendar, never once did I notice the 'black or Asian' children either declining or just not turning up
this is true, however it's totally meaningless bollocks as it's anecdotal, just like the whole premise of the thread
