It is for quotes like this that i have joined this board. I am in full agreement that we should celebrate and honour our different traditions and cultures. I would hate to see Europe become one big melting pot of "White". When i hear of places mentioned in this thread such as Ireland having mass immigration by Eastern Europeans, i am not happy about this. I would hate to see the island lose a bit of itself. When i travel in Finland, i want to know that i mam there, immerse myself in the rich history and cultute. When i travel in Friesland, i want to still hear the language and be told the stories of their forefathers.

It is for these reasons i have chosen Cultural Nationalism, as ethnicities can sometimes get murky. There is much blood shared between many Nations across Europe but the culture of the land must not be lost.
