Re: English And Proud!

Well I'm a bit of a mixture but I was born in England and yet if I can celebrate St. Patrick's day I'm darned sure I should be able to celebrate St. George's day.

I don't think it has anything to do with feeling superior so not feeling the need to do it. It seems more like apathy mixed with fear of being criticised for upsetting people of other ethnic origins which is a bit daft.

Why can't we all just enjoy being who we are and enjoy sharing who we are? I love the Chinese New Year celebrations but I'm not Chinese so maybe Chinese people would enjoy a good old St. George's knees up if there ever was such a thing. (That's just an isolated example by the way)
