Why am I interested in this?

It is not because the man is a Sri Lankan. What is curious here is how people would interpret this in light of racism.

The comments people have made in response to this were very interesting.

Most of the ethnic minority have disgustingly rejected his way of thinking, the obvious reaction.

But even more interestingly, the majority of British people who have commented on this have gone even further to label him as a racist !

There comes the confusion! Is this man a Britisher or a Sri Lankan for him to become a racist against the ethnic minorities?

My answer is he is even British than an average Britisher.

He has come to this country 18 years back and now is a legal British citizen.He has a British flag mounted on his car and also has one hanging in front of his house. He even runs his own web site called http://www.britishnessforever.co.uk/. where the head banner runs the slogan;

"Let’s fly the British Flag to honour our brave Soldiers and to say we are proud to be British"

Brits have lot to learn from him !

This man has severed all of his old roots and got himself replanted in this country with all of his heart and soul.He is not a Sri Lankan anymore!

Now I don't blame him for that. He is living by the principles that he think is right.He became a hardcore Brit and making a big effort to show it to the world.

The question is, in spite of what ever he does, will he ever be accepted as an equal by his other "fellow Britishers" in this life time?

Answer lies in the part of the article that I have quoted..

There he is still an "immigrant post master - Sri Lankan born Deva Kumarasiri......"

I feel sorry about you.
