The London magazine Time Out recently interviewed a Turkish immigrant who said that the English were now the foreigners in Stoke Newington. This, of course, was reported as a cause of celebration: we must celebrate diversity. We have to celebrate it, even though for white British people celebrating diversity basically means saying sorry. We have to celebrate diversity, because otherwise it might rise up and kill us: Northern Ireland, former Yugoslavia, Israel, Rwanda, Gujarat, northern Nigeria have all recently suffered mass deaths as a result of diversity.

Every man ought to be a macho macho man, 
To live a life of freedom, machos make a stand, 
Have their own life style and ideals, 
Possess the strength and confidence, life's a steal, 
You can best believe that he's a macho man 
He's a special person in anybody's land. 

Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey! 
Macho, macho man (macho man) 
I've got to be, a macho man 
Macho, macho man 
I've got to be a macho! (dig the hair on my chest)
