Baroness Flathers hates Bangladeshi's!

Baroness Flather - Migrants are money hungry scum who shouldn't be allowed to have children

Well to be fair, Baroness Flather the first Asian female peer didn't say those exact words but she might as well have. According to Flather, Bangladeshi's and Pakistani's have large families because they want the large families so they can bag the extra benefits and larger council houses. Meanwhile Flather is keen to note that Indians do not fall in to this because they have settled in to the pattern of British behaviour when it comes to family sizes. On top of that Indians like to educate their kids.

Firstly Flathers comments, whilst having some merits they also do a great disservice to many Bengali's and Pakistani's who have got themselves educated and are trying to break free from poverty. Of course her comments do apply to certain communities where there is a large Asian populous where unemployment is high and levels of education are low. But the Baroness much prefers to tar everyone with the same brush.

One of the points she makes is that these groups have kids for the benefits, but surely if this was the case then similar groups would have less kids back home in Bangladesh or Pakistan. But Bangladeshi's and Pakistani's have always had large families whether it be in South Asia or in Europe, maybe it's more to with culture rather than the need for benefits.

At least Flather didn't alienate herself from the entire Asian community, she praised the Indians because they value eductaion and don't have large families. Or maybe it's because they are not muslim. But being of South Asian descent rather than looking down on the entire Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities, why not try and say something positive instead of casting them further away from mainstream society.

I guess it's pretty easy to turn your nose up at the simpletons when you're rich and you can pretend you didn't come from the same place as the people you insult.
