I expect the perception is: what is a culture {in it's current equilibrium}willing to embrace? Which leads me to think outloud... If someone from say {hypothetically} Argentina? wanted to travel the world to experiance various cultures. Supposing his impression of London,paris or rome was, How come everyone here seems to be from the Mid east ? Would said person be wrong to feel that way? Is cultural identity worth preserving at all? Just curious to see what people think.


Is cultural identity worth preserving at all?

Sadly I'm just about to head offline (movie, then bed) but that's a good topic for debate. Maybe I'll have a crack at it over the next couple of days.

One thing I will say though, is that Muslims only comprise 2.8% of the UK population. And while most of them would indeed be of Middle-Eastern / Asian appearance, your hypothetical Argentinian visitor would have to restrict their visit to some very specific communities to get the impression that "everyone here seems to be from the Middle East".
