| | Indeed, some of the nastier “racist” incidents of recent years have featured attacks by white Englishmen on “asylum-seekers”, most of whom are white-skinned Slavs from the Balkans. | | | It cannot be said often enough that the immigration policies of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s were a great and terrible injustice on the English working class. | | | Now it is a bedlam of vice and crime, and there was a ferocious race riot there in September 1985 when police launched a campaign against drug trafficking. |

| | In truth, the post-World War II period was an era of momentous changes. | | | During the early 1970s, films like American Graffiti and television shows like Happy Days began to portray the 1950s as a carefree era before the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War, and Watergate--a decade of tail-finned Cadillacs, collegians stuffing themselves in phone booths, and innocent tranquility and static charm. | | | The Beat poets and writers scorned materialism, traditional family life and sexuality and tapped into dissatisfaction with the prevailing blandness of conventional culture. |
