Hate how racist everything has become, and how quickly it’s happened.

I was just looking at facebook, and a ‘Sad face’ newsmaker article came up. Practically all the comments mentioned boats, asylum seekers etc etc. Its really getting me down.

Travelled to the south west last weekend. On the way down no flags on bridges. On the way back, in some areas, every bridge.

Its scary how quickly it’s all happening.

A few ‘well timed’ reports? What the actual hell. A CHILD was raped.

I can hardly believe what I am reading on here these days.

I'm not referring to a child being rape, but to politicians on the radio shouting that white women (not children) are being targeted. Claims they cannot substantiate when questioned.
Please also refer to the other evils immigrants are reportedly accused of. Not sure why you extrapolated 'child' and left the rest.

Do you see it as a war, then?

Would it be a problem for you if the majority of the population were mixed race?

It would be a different country, yes.

YourFavouriteFalafel · 25/08/2025 13:40

Absolutely, and I am a proud to be a British Muslim.

Why did you create a mixed family? Or is the it typical do as I say, not as I do?

You don’t have any problems with the destruction of an ethnicity? Does that only apply to white britains or do you also have no issue with it for other ethnicities?

You don’t think generalising about an entire group of people is racist?

Hahaha. What is the point of a discussion like this? You don’t have common ground even on what the words you are using mean.

I dunno, the establishment spends ten years telling white people that they are the font of all evil and should check their privilege and you're surprised when they develop their own critical consciousness and decide to prioritise themselves.

Font of evil? Who said this and in what context?

What critical consciousness have they developed? I'm waiting for someone to tell me what they mean when they chant all the popular phrases.

And how are they prioritising themselves? Repeating racist chants, burning ambulances, hoisting upside down flags onto bridges? What's the priority there?

Of course I'm open to understanding what this all means, so feel free to tell me what exactly the critical consciousness is.

You're being utterly ridiculous. There is no threat to white British ethnicity at all. White British people are not at risk of being exterminated or forced to procreate with people from different ethnicities.

Would I care if white British people were to become a minority in this country? No, for the reasons outlined above. I do not feel remotely threatened by the existence of British people with black or brown skin, and nobody has been able to present a coherent argument as to why this would be a problem.

Would I care if white British ethnicity eventually faded out entitely because every single white person who had children chose to be in an interracial relationship? No, I would see that as progress and as a natural evolution away from stupid race-obsessed society that we have at the moment. Diversity is good for the gene pool.

Who said that?

It is a generalisation about a group of people so racist? Along with your implied response that saying Muslims believe in Islam is racist. I presume saying red haired people sunburn easily is also racist? Or those studying at Oxbridge have above average academic ability?

I think white British will be a hated minority in their own country, the way things are going. And it’s gonna happen in a lot of poster’s lifetime.

That's an interesting perception and is to be seen.

I have a large and very diverse family and a diverse friendship group, and I don't know a single person that hates a white person, but then I don't know everyone.

I know people who hate racists folks of all varieties though.

So Britain only belongs to white British people?

That means it doesn’t belong to you either, doesn’t it?

Why does “living in the country all your life” entitle you to a council house paid by others? Genuine question.

Why should the “white british people” get one? What have they done to get one? Or is your success criteria just being “white British”?

Do you genuinely not think a country should put its native residents first then? That’s interesting.

Well, there is a danger of that if the racist voices are allowed to drown out the not-racist majority. But hopefully most people will realise that they're just a bunch of fuckwits and not representative of white people as a whole. Those of us who aren't racist need to ensure that our voices are heard.
