To think there should be a site called "Racist Mumsnet"

[GothAnneGeddes]

That way, all the bigots who've been cluttering up Mumsnet of late could post there and spare the rest of us from reading their biogoted stupidity.

AIBU?

Now there's a very valid point Cozy9 and one that would be lovely to explore without emotive words being bandied about so readily.

"sheer number of people"

So how many people are acceptable?

What makes you arrive at a particular figure?

Are you aware that we have equally high rates of emigration from the UK?

Are you just talking bollocks?

"It's now a FACT vat white people are a minorittie in Britin."

What absolute nonsense.

Do most people from Britain emigrate without enough money to bring something to another country? There aren't the systems in place for them to be able to do anything other than this.

Have most immigrants come here to enhance our country? what level have they come in at? Have the masses come in at say middle class level? Most immigrants have come here to help their own economy or better their childrens education. As the Irish did.

In state schools Pendeen they are.

Really?

Where?

Certainly not in Cornwall.

Cornwall is a predominant white area

I asked my friend why she couldn't move out that way and she said because her husband is black and wouldn't be accepted. So your argument is crap really. Inner london's state schools are a different matter, inner london paying schools are yet again perdominantly full of white children.

It seems to me that upper and middle will defend mass immigration to the hilt because the cheap labour will benefit them. They will not be touched by job loss. It's very hypoctritical to the point of ridiculousness.

Yes, I know. I live here. Your statement was incorrect.

or your pun didn't come across?

Pun?

Statement of fact.

I think JesusintheCabbageVan suggested the "white people are a minorittie" in a comedy way as a topic for Racist Mumsnet?.

I'd like to speak to you again when it's on mass Pen I really would.

It's not about colour or country really is it. It's about someone that doesn't do stuff the same way as you because they do it differently where they were brought up. North/South or Veggie/Roadkill or Muslim/Atheist.

So 1) you remember that everyone is a shade of grey

and 2) you remember that some ideas ARE shit - and that Britain is slightly better because we have done all the shit already - women blamed for everything, religious wars, non democratic rule etc etc

Cozy9 what about that mother on here that didn't want her son in the nativity because she believed that portraying false Prophets was wrong. Seriously everyone just said well that's her belief she's entitled to it rather than "bollocks no all seeing God is going is going to care if a small child does a Nativity or not" (which is the conclusion her religion will come to in another 500 years time).

Um, what do you mean 'what will happen to them'? Paranoid much? Nothing will happen to them, except maybe after years and years of being socially rebuffed whenever they spout racist claptrap they will start to wake up and realise it's the 21st century.

Not all Brits who emigrate have money. I certainly know some skint Brits here in France. If it makes you feel better they're on even more benefits here than they would get back home so it's not just the UK getting fleeced I guess.

My upset is sheer numbers, sheer influx and not being able to cope on that scale, it's never been about creed nor colour.

ClippedPhoenix, you basically claimed the whole of state education system is minority white, you didn't specify anything about Cornwall or inner city London. You said:

In state schools Pendeen they are.

It is, to say the least, quite revealing that you think the number of white people in state schools is a useful statistic to use in regard to immigration.

The statement was nonsense ClippedPhoenix

Admit it.

White people are not in the minority in Britian.

Or are you saying that's a fact?

Count the numbers dreaming, count the numbers. Mass of anything will cause huge problems. Which it is doing.

That's true Whatever.

It's the narcissism of minor differences.

We care so much now about skin colour or religion but just you wait until the aliens show up.

Or the zombies. Alive/Dead trumps just about every other difference.

Ok. I am well aware this is an argument fail, but I've never done it before and it's always fun to try new things*.

So: sure, my DH may be an immigrant, one of those who came here en masse to spoil Britain ... but at least he knows how to speak the language correctly, unlike some.

*Unless you are a bit racist and think 'new' might mean 'different' or 'non-white' ...

(Now, does it destroy or strengthen my argument that the language in question there was originally French, or are Normans far enough back in history that we accept them?)

Yes, that did throw me slightly as well.
