Ethnocentrism in Developed Nations

Attempts to build a multicultural society in Germany have "utterly failed", Chancellor Angela Merkel says.

I think brain drainers should rethink another strategy to return to their homeland.  Developed nations are nolonger tolerant to multiculturalism and make one wonder if the days of Hitler will revisit the world leaders.  The German's Chancellor's remarks were irresponsible and could spark violence that may cost German immigrants immensely.

She said the so-called "multikulti" concept - where people would "live side-by-side" happily - did not work, and immigrants needed to do more to integrate - including learning German. 

The comments come amid rising anti-immigration feeling in Germany.  A recent survey suggested more than 30% of people believed the country were "overrun by foreigners".

According to the BBC News, a recent study conducted by Friedrich Ebert Foundation think-tank - also showed that roughly the same number thought that some 16 million of Germany's immigrants or people with foreign origins had come to the country for its social benefits.  I don't see any new reason here why people migrate to another place, its always economical, social and political reasons that inspired people to migrate.  The sole attribution of the 16 million German immigrants to migrate to that country for social benefits alone is bias and fabricated.

Let reminiscent on some of the world’s famous immigrants throughout history.  In 1620, English Pilgrims seeking religious freedom arrived in Plymouth Massachusetts and the English Puritans followed suite.  By the 18^th Century, over 60, 000 criminals of European descent were brought to the U.S. as indenture servants, and soon to be followed by the Africans who unwillingly captured and brought to the Western and new found World.  In 1847 and 1849, thousand of Irish caused a population explosion in the United States due to bad harvest that caused potato famine in Ireland.  Several other nations including the Germans, Chinese, Japanese to name a few also migrated into the United States not only for Social benefits, for economic and political reasons as well.

In recent months, French President Sarkozy supported a bill that will prohibit Muslim women from wearing a full veil in public.  This is one of the fundamentals for the women in regards to their religious rites.  I think a reasonable legislation would be the exposure of their faces to reveal their identities, because of National security reasons.  But a full barn is a step too far towards ethnocentrism and Frenchnazation.  Most Muslim women, in France's immigrant communities and around the world, do not wear a full veil, but the niqab, which covers the face apart from the eyes, is widely worn on the Arabian Peninsula and in the Gulf states

After getting heavily criticized for banning face veils, the nation of France again painted a target on its back for organizations and countries to throw darts at when it began to make deportation of illegal Roma (more universally known as Gypsies) a top priority.  What happens to humanity, Liberty, Fraternity and Freedom for all mankind?  Developed Nations are supposed to extend their hands to those that have fallen in the pitch but present occurrence indicates other wise, instead they shovel cement on the fallen nations and buried their citizens six feet below.

Finally, for all of you who are brain drains in the making think twice before having children in a foreign land because they will always be categorized as third class citizens.  Go back to your countries and help develop it because it’s better to go to a place where there is no path and leave a trail for the vulnerable.  Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Sarkozy must be ashamed of them selves for their political orgies against immigrants.
