| happydolphin said: I noticed how black people seem to be much more integrated in the british films I watch. They have the same manners as the white british most of the time, whereas in american movies, they are always different somehow (either they have an attitude or they speak differently, or they have graver voices). |
It's pretty much because multi-ethnic culture is pretty much integrated into the overall British culture, we may have a few areas here and there which have one main ethnic group but overall we're in close contact and this has had an impact on the younger generations growing. We all go to the same schools, live in the same neighbourhoods and so on, Britain is a small place with 65m plus people and the Government can't afford to have poor ghetto like areas they want every area doing well off so they can tax us to death and the more cultures the better for them as new cultures bring new opportunities as they bring their cuisine and talents. As a result everyone pretty much has access to the same oppotunities.
It's why black, white, arab, east asian and so over here all speak the same over here even down to regional accents, don't know how things are in the US so I can't say too much but if it's not the same that alone is a powerful factor as not growing up around a certain ethnic group or non at all is a mental hurdle, I know each state acts like it's own unit unlike here where the government define everything so that's another thing in itself.
