I reckon this is true having looked at some opinions across the internet. But feel free to challenge if you disagree - make sure to provide a number please.

I feel the same way about those on free Palestine marches being anti Jews

lnks · 04/10/2025 14:31

Citation?

AhBiscuits · 04/10/2025 14:31

Where did this figure come from?

QuietlyFrench · 04/10/2025 14:32

I’d be very surprised if they “identified” as racists. Most racists will deny they’re racist because, you know, one of their friends is black; they just want to protect our kids / women / public services; take our country back, etc.

It's good that you recognise that some people really do have legitimate concerns about mass migration and are not actually racist.

InsectsMatter · 04/10/2025 14:33

Another goady thread insisting that those who have concerns about mass immigration are ‘raycist’.

OP, the term has been so over used as to have no meaning at all.

Do you think that the constant marches of ignorant anti semites screeching “from the river to the sea” every weekend are racist or is loathing Jews and Israel not really racist?

Your citation is 'I reckon'?

Posts like this are so immature and lacking any kind of common sense.

And plenty of people would agree with you there, but some of those same people will deny the outright hatred, and racism, at the heart of the people who choose to go to Tommie's march. Funny that.

SnackQueen · 04/10/2025 14:36

If that’s the case then 100% of those pro-Palestine identify as racists.

Myrtletown · 04/10/2025 14:36

Yes, the data came from my research over the internet.

Feel free to challenge it and provide numbers. This is a discussion site after all!

No, I’m interested in free speech and mis-information according to MN

Do tell us more about this research, that has yielded the specific number of 81%

Utter bollocks. Which methods did you use to collect and analyse all of the information you found on the internet. What you mean is that this is based on your own opinions and confirmation bias.

You are making a claim. I think the onus is on you to prove the claim.
Otherwise one might think you are making statistics up just to stir up discord.

A 1000% this. How can anyone disprove your claim if you don't provide the information you used.

Underthinker · 04/10/2025 14:45

This thread is obviously a reaction to the 11 million immigrants one, which had an exaggerated statistic in the title. The OP here is making a point, rather than trying to persuade anyone that the thread title is true.

Misinformation... Like when people are making stuff up?

Sorry, what is it you don't understand?
You claimed a statistic. You need to prove it.

Unless as a PP said you have made it up as a TAAT. In which case the whole thread needs deleting.

Myrtletown · 04/10/2025 14:48

How’s it a TAAT? What are you talking about?
