AIBU to think that racism is getting a lot worse of late.

Just read this awful story in the Guardian. Awful and makes me feel so angry and so unsafe as a half Black woman.

I agree. But also everywhere is getting less tolerant. I had a man be extremely rude to me when he thought I was pushing in front of a queue in him. He literally snapped and stared me down. I have never in my life had that from a man before. I had to say sorry I was just turning around from the counter (which I was). What I wanted to say was I'm not your enemy mate I just want a cheese baguette.

To ensure a fair discussion, the Bath company have issued a statement and she isn't one of theirs.

That’s when immigration went of the tracks, I’m not sure what else I can explain. Is 100k not off the tracks? 200k, 300k, 900k?
what figure would you say is off the tracks?

I picked 2023 because that’s when it peaked, which is why I said peaked in 2023 at 900k. Ot has gone down this year, I don’t have the figures but I suspect this due a larger than normal amount of people leaving.

Aka the Tinfoil Hat Crew.

I am neither in favour nor against. There are positives and negatives to everything. Demographic changes ard driven by many things, not just migration. Again, simplistic thinking.

No, I think they are addicted to cheap labour and don’t care about the issues as it will be another Government’s problem. I think it might actually be this Government’s problem though. It’s the same with environment, infrastructure, education..all short term and kicking the can down the road.

Cheered on by the ones who seek 'refuge' in the UAE?

Or the far right.

I'm still not understanding. Are you saying there's some magic figure that is "too much immigration". Why was 1994 OK, but 2023 not? How did 2024 with for you? I'm genuinely confused because those figures indicate that most people are coming here, effectively, at our invitation to do our work or to pay fees and costs to study in our institutions. You don't want them to come? What will be the right figure? Who decided it? How? Genuinely interested. Just explain who, if anyone, should be allowed to come in your opinion, and why. What you think is the right number.

The housing was more affordable and wages were reasonable. Also the roads are so overcrowded especially in the SE nowadays

we are told to be eco friendly and government want net zero yet they keep building on farmland for more housing.

Who is in favour of white people being in the minority in the UK? You said that people want a huge demographic change. Who?

Yes I’m saying there’s a figure that is ‘too much migration’. 900k people in 12 months is definitely too much, but I’d say net immigration of 30k is reasonable given the 10 million increase in the last decade. Do you not think there a figure that is too much? Genuinely interested

at our invitation to do our work or to pay fees and costs to study in our institution
Who's invitation? When were ‘we’ consulted? Do you really think people would agree to that sort of mass immigration?

In the interest of not being boring, can your reply not be more faux misunderstanding and instead some level engagement with what I actually write.

Do you mind quoting where I said this? The only person who said this was @pointythings , she’s now clarified that I misunderstood that she not in favour of a British white minority only she doesn’t care if they’re a minority.

A small point, but important one, white people aren’t forecast to be a minority ..only British white.

Do you mind quoting where you get this from?

white people aren’t forecast to be a minority ..only British white.

There isn't one. It's just that obsessing about skin colour does tend to make one look a bit racist. Whiteness isn't a proxy for cultural or intellectual superiority.

I’m pleased to see you write that. There is hope for us all

Apologising for being in favour of white British people being a minority in Britain. It’s not often you get that these days.

Two things, there are several religions with very similar rules to the above, Judaism and Plymouth brethren have several commonalities. But also, I assume you are taking about Muslim people, and again Muslims are not one huge amorphous group, many Muslim women work, don't cover themselves etc also there are definitely gay Muslims too. You would be surprised how much we all actually have in common when you can listen to each other

@MiloMinderbinder925 , I think you missed this earlier which is why you’re confused.

I'm not confused, you're refusing to answer the question and before you say 'what question?' I've asked you several times about who wants to make white British people a minority.

The answer to your question is pointythings, the user ‘pointythings’.

I see. You're saying that a single poster on MN is trying to single handedly change the demographic of the UK and make white British a minority.

No. I don’t think anyone has said that. You jumped in a quote/reply conversation between two people and somehow have got very very confused.

This is all getting a bit mad now is it not?

The original point of this thread is this guy has been sent round the internet accused of being a migrant pedo playing in a kids park.

That aside if we are talking about 1 million net migration a year, then yes of course British will be a minority at some point.

The discussion is really whether you’re pro or against that. Not that’s it untrue. The maths are simple.

You got anything more recent than 2010 and not behind paywall?

I just googled and sent you the first two. You are acting like this is news to you?
