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.

Yep

If they're anything like you, I'm glad that they have a second passport as well.

As for your concern about the future of white British people... please save your energy. There are a few nutty racists amongst us, but most of us are doing just fine.

Overseas fees are 30k to 60k a year and must be covered by the university itself (who may pass on the cost)

UK students are heavily subsidised.. which is correct I think.

You had an ethnogenesis in 1066 (as I recall). The English people have been remarkably constant since. I think when the English become a minority, that will necessarily mean Britain will have become a different country

Do people actually want to do that though.

It just seems like there is a lot of misunderstandings and misinformation.

I don't know. I think some people want to stop all immigration, including students. Others have more nuanced positions.

As to whether those who want student immigration to end, I have no idea whether they have considered the trade-offs that might be necessary if we went down that route.

What does "becoming a different country" even mean, though?

Geographically, nothing will have changed (except for the effects of climate change).

Politically, who knows? The Scottish might vote for independence, or Northern Ireland might decide to leave the UK. I don't see England breaking up any time soon.

Culturally, things will continue to evolve, as they always have done. You might have noticed that the culture has already changed quite a bit since 1066.

Genetically, we might end up with a more diverse gene pool. So what? Why would they matter and what difference would it really make?

Ashkenazi Jews have some unique genetic diseases but they are also the most intelligent group on earth! That kind of human diversity is quite amazing!

I think you’re veering into racial stereotypes here. But Ashkenazi Jews are more predisposed to some genetic diseases due to a lack of diversity, partly because the Holocaust reduced genetic contribution to subsequent generations.

English can only be white. Otherwise they are British. Such was my understanding

Funny how other countries are allowed to object to this.

It’s not a stereotype. Literally, measurably
the highest IQ people in the world. Probably due to selection effects since this isn’t seen in Mizrahi or Sephardi groups. Iirc these genetic diseases were seen pre-Holocaust.

What?? This is news to me

Your understanding is wrong.

English is an ethnicity, British is a nationality. No?

?

Wow you are already erasing white English people. They exist whether you like it or not.

No.

English is an identity based on a social construct. It has no legal or scientific definition.

We exist. You don't get to define us.

I bet you are one of those, ‘a woman is anyone that defines themselves as a woman’ and ‘intersex people mean that there’s no such thing as a woman’.

Nope.

No, it isn’t because it hasn’t been measured because it plays into anti-Semitic tropes.

Really not sure what your point is. No one is forced to marry outside their racial group anyway.

So black people born in England can’t call themselves English?

What makes you think that? She's correct. English is not a nationality or an ethnicity.

Who told you this, your white English husband?

As a nationality yes, not as an ethnicity.
