To think Britain is getting more racist ?

So you agree with illegal immigration? No one should be able to enter any country, without a passport
other countries control their borders, so why it wrong for the uk, to have the same protocol?

Yep, I’ve had a few incidents and micro aggressions.

It’s got to the point where I don’t speak to strangers who are white people unless they speak to me. Once they speak to me and show they’re nice, then I’m happy to chat.

Notwithstanding my colleagues and friends of course.

Ah, native British. What does that mean? The Iceni, Taexali, Silures?

Please define what the native British is.

It is hard to debate when we have vague, nebulous terms.

Not more racist, but I think the way immigration is going in many parts of the world has now become too much for a lot of people
I do think a great deal are against islam as a religion and way of life

I think it's time we tackled racism in all its guises.

There are views in other communities based on race, colour or religion that we permit because of 'culture'.

This is never addressed..

Combined with shouting racist at any legitimate concern, it is enabling the extremists to claim a narrative.

I can still remember seeing a female politician from Rochdale trying to raise the issues we now sadly know more about in a TV debate years before it all came out. She wasn't extreme in any way but was given a very hard time and dismissed entirely.

Our more moderate politicians need to be braver or we are going to end up in a bad place.

Yet some sections of the community seem to be permitted to spew hatred unfettered while the police look on like friendly uncles

I don't think levels have changed, it's just more overt now. People don't seem to have any shame now.

You're absolutely correct @JifNtGif. I thought i was embarrassed to be white British after the Brexit campaign and the resulting chaos. Never did i think that we would reach this low. I work in a city centre supermarket that serves mainly immigrant communities. Their fear is palpable, aided by some colleagues outright hostility and racism. I report it and fuck all happens. Our customers pay my wages and I learn a lot - from asking how they cook with particular ingredients, etc. They enrich me. It really upsets me actually when they thank me for being polite to them. No human deserves thst degradation. Im not a Marxist, but he was spot on when he said "human beings complete each other"

They could go to India or Pakistan

Current populist (and in some cases facist) politics has also normalised, legitimised and made mainstream things that were not OK a few years ago. Am honestly not sure if more people are racist. Or just more people are comfortable about openly being racist.

Pretty horrible really.

Yes not good

feel sorry for my grandchildren

It's divide and rule. If we are all at each other, and blaming each other, we won't notice the massive theft taking place and who is really behind it. Same people who control the media (propaganda) of course. And government is basically powerless now, sold off all the agency they had a long time ago. Too many people lacking in critical thinking skills and being led down algorithm rabbit holes fuelled by their prejudices.

I think that it is because the native British population is going to be the minority by 2050 at current immegration rates.
This is bound to lead to an identity movement of what it means to be native British that did not exist before as there was no need, and as a reaction to sliding into minority marginal position with and competing with other groups for jobs and resources.

My Mum loves the English, she loved both of the Princesses of Wales and the Queen.

My Dad doesn't like the English (many Scots are like this I noted too). I used to ask him why he stayed here if he hates them so much, he never went home.

I don't understand why you would move to a country of people you hate and clearly don't want you here and stay whilst acting like you are a victim of the situation.

Living in a multicultural city, from what myself, family and friends have seen in person, people are more racist. To me, the very old people are the worst. They voted for Brexit to ' get the foreigners and p**is out' - their words, not mine. There have been foreigners living in the UK well before our entry to the EEC, as the EU was known then. Most arrived in the early 60s to escape the regime of Idi Amin. Some of the Hindus in Birmingham and Leicester had 4 generations born in the UK, esp those moved after WW2.

There is more racism between people from different countries. Hear that Polish hate the Albanians. Muslims are the worst. They don't tolerate Hindus.

Though many get along along with each other.

That kindness wasn't forgotten, those peoples if in trouble would always be looked after very well.

You will have to work out something with your neighbours, you are the same peoples of Indian descent, you should look after each other as the Europeans did during the famine in Ireland.

I won't go into the famine in Ireland too much ( other than there was other food than potatoes and soup). What happened was some like my family stayed and lived off the contents of the river, grass & all sorts. Some went to Britain as they were part of the UK then and some went to the USA which had lots of space at the time. They didn't get a free hotel, they went to work and looked after themselves .
The Americans were so horrified at the near dead starved Irish That arrived their plight wasn't hushed up.

Queen Victoria kindly sent money as did many others including some horses by the Choctaws in the USA. I don't think the horses were utilised as planned, regardless the gesture so touched the Irish that there is still an ongoing relationship between the two peoples.

Kindness and gratitude are something some cultures lack.

Constantly taking advantage of Western Europe peoples and insulting them has not been ignored.

So you thought you’d go and check their profile and review their posting history so you’d have ammunition to come back and belittle them on this thread. You’re all class @TheWildZebra.

Have you read this posters comments? They literally make zero sense.

Wow, what a peach you are. Are YOU on the spectrum at all (what a complete arsehole question)

It was a straightforward question it’s a shame the reply was a bit ahem

What do people want to do about all this

IMO I have noticed a few things in my town. Locals are becoming more hostile towards newcomers.

We were 99% British in the late 90s/early 2000s but it has changed so much, and it’s incredibly noticeable. It’s also a deprived area.

Has my town become better for being more multicultural? That’ll be a hard no, so I’m leaving.
