To be scared people aren't taking far-right extremists seriously?

[AnxiousApocalypse]

There is so much anti-immigrant sentiment in the UK and the West in general. There are a lot of people that believe if you are a person of colour that has grown up in the UK but have immigrant parents, then you are not British enough- even if you have spent your whole life here and integrated into British society. On Wednesday, three far-right extremists were convicted in Sheffield Crown Court of planning a terrorist attack but there was hardly any coverage. At my workplace, people talk about immigrants coming over on scam care worker visas schemes, bringing their dependants and taking up resources such as school places and NHS appointments when those are already lacking for those born in Britain. I thought that scrapping overseas recruitment for care workers and heightening the qualifications threshold for skilled worker visas by the government was quite severe, but comments on the Daily Mail and Telegraph articles show that this isn't enough for most people. What about all the universities having to make cuts due to losing significant income from the new restrictions on international student visas? Will most people not be happy until the UK has no non-white people at all?

No, it just shows that the self appointed arbiters of ‘right think’ like you appear to be, seem everything that doesn’t agree with your views to be ‘racist’. It’s not the same.

Very rationally said.

Thank you for this post. Good for Dame Jasvinder. I hope that the people on this thread shouting racist that anyone who dares mention this sort of thing have a little think about the consequences of making people scared to act for fear of being called a racist. There are real women and children being harmed here.

You said that it's a requirement for Nigerians to be black. An ethnostate is a state where citizenship is restricted to members of a particular race or ethnic group. You were describing Nigeria as an ethnostate.

Have you asked a Nigerian if you can expect to be regarded as fully Nigerian as a white person?

Again with this obsession with skin colour. I explained to you that Nigeria is not an ethnostate, you are Nigerian if you have Nigerian citizenship.

You were talking about 'indigenous' Britons being white. That there was two tier citizenship and people of colour such as Indians, aren't fully British.

I asked you why being 'indigenous' was so important to you a few times, but you refused to answer.

When did I say that Britons are British BECAUSE we are white?

You talked about 'indigenous' Britons as authentic Britons and immigrants who get citizenship as not being fully British. 'Indigenous' is a synonym for white.

In direct answer to your question, although I haven’t claimed to be ‘indigenous’, I probably am quite indigenous, having strong Celtic family lines that have been traced back 100s of years

Why is being 'indigenous' so important to you?

I will not engage further with your dishonest misrepresentations of my comments. It is not conducive to a productive conversation.

Oh dear.

Beyond your comprehension and knowledge base, obviously.

Seeing this whole racial culture war 'debate' is quite depressing. The Russians would love nothing more than to see the UK and US plunge into a race war and implode. But let's keep playing a game set up by Putin's trolls...

What action do you want?
