MiAILBOXx READER RESPONDS TO DOUG COLLINS Society based on exploitation, oppression Dear Editor: T have to admit that I get a kick out of Doug Collins. He ex- emplifies so perfectly the predica- ment of the English immigrants. Some came here to avoid persecution, but the majority came to get rich. They had absolutely no interest in the language, culture or rights of the people who owned and occupied this land. Not only did they never consider living by the Indians’ laws, they felt obligated to eradicate the aboriginal culture. They almost succeeded at this, and in the pro- cess managed to convince themselves that they had estab- lished a British nation. Now, to their outrage, a new wave of Oriental immigrants. is taking over and doing with dollars what the English did with guns. Poor Doug blubbers about Asian investment driving the English out of their neighborhoods. He blames the Orientals for refusing to em- brace his language and culture and for wanting to retain their customs as the British have. He even blames the politicians for being weak. The fact that our politicians are looking for quick profits and are not spineless or stupid has yet to penetrate Doug's mental process. You would think our Doug would be grateful that the Asians aren’t intent on forcing their lan- guage and culture down his throat the way the Europeaas did. But he isn’t. Just their presence seems to be enough to infuriate him. Basically, our boy and his sup- porters have had their hands in the neighbor’s cookie jar for so long they think they belong here. Any new hands in the jar are, of course, greeted with howls of righteous indignation. But Doug, don’t despair. If it's any consolation, just as you are being undone by your own politi- cians who, true to their philoso- phy, will sell you out for a profit, so too the Oriental politicians will sooner or later sell out their con- stituents for a profit.
