Scared of growing resentment towards people of colour

[AppleJuiceAvid]

Is anyone else scared there will be a war in the UK? Elon Musk seems to be encouraging it and Donald Trump supports far-right ideas, saying that European countries face civilisational erasure due to immigration. When you've got the rich and powerful like Sir Jim Ratcliffe saying that the UK has been colonised by immigrants, this just stokes people's anger even more against non-white immigrants. More and more white people are growing resentful of non-white people.

So selected multiple cultural cities then, not everywhere at all

Thankfully we have Rupert Lowe with Restore Britain and I believe he can turn things around for our country.

Classic ‘I’m a not racist but… I didn’t see enough white people in a place I used to see white people and the brown people made my eyes rain’

@AppleJuiceAvid - I understand and share your feelings - world events are, frankly terrifying right now.

I should add, I am not a person of colour, but I believe the people of colour who are seeing a rise in racism, and it sickens me.

Yes of course - why would anyone object to those coming legally? They have been checked for criminal records, pass all the criteria and are very welcome. Just as my neighbours were when they came.

No-one knows how many gave got here illegally. I strongly suspect the true figue is far higher than the "official" one for obvious reasons.

Even dog shit is more diverse these days!

Riots and protests could easily escalate into civil war.

What is it about seeing black and brown faces on the streets of our city that brings you to tears? Because in all honesty, that sounds like something probably better addressed through therapy than a vote for the Advance Reform Segretate Everyone party or whatever they're called.

YANBU that growing resentment to people of colour is a worry. I don't think it's going to be 'civil war'. I mean, who would that be against who? And we don't have guns here, thank God.

As a Jewish person, and the daughter of someone granted asylum here, I am really disgusted and upset by the campaign of hate being ramped up against immigrants, often by people like Musk who know absolutely nothing about the UK or what life is like here.

The vast majority of immigrants want to work hard and will integrate, and they contribute hugely to the economy, often doing the jobs no one else wants to do. But because immigrants are human beings, like any human beings some people will be bad people and criminals. I think by all means there should be improved systems so countries can refuse to take people with violent or sex-crime-related criminal records and send them back. But to take the attitude 'we shouldn't let anyone in in case they're a violent criminal' is ridiculous.

I don't think outstanding girls' are creating a moral panic!

I'm going to have to hide this thread so I won't respond beyond this: don't call me ignorant. This poster said whites were becoming the minority by a date. Didn't say where (since whites are the global minority). Didn't give any evidence beyond having 'heard' it. It is not my responsibility to find evidence for someone else's bullshit claim.

Your evidence illustrates it's bollocks too. You can ask AI anything you want to get the answer you want and it makes things up (I know this because I work with AI) and what you found didn't even say what you wanted it to! Show me actual evidence AND why that's the end of the world anyway, or just say "I'm a massive racist" and have done. Seems to be perfectly acceptable on here these days anyway.

But that's the equivalent of when posters are talking about male violence, domestic violence or sexual violence and someone pipes up saying 'some women do that too'.

Yes they do, and we know but it's a way to try and distract from the topic in hand and shut down discourse.

Womens rights have improved in the same way as workers rights, disability rights etc because of changing times.

It's completely disingenuous to suggest that has anything to do with immigration.

Unless you're saying that womens rights in the UK to not be forced into arranged marriages, be subjected to FGM etc are a consequence of immigration in which case yes, you're right, but they are directly a causation of immigration where the UK had to put laws into place to prevent that where such laws were previously not needed.

Violence towards women is an epidemic everywhere but the rights of women have increased in the UK exponentially whereas they have not in other countries and cultures so when those cultures choose to live here but maintain those cultures and beliefs, there is a conflict.

And that is why specific legislation is brought in to prevent or attempt to prevent child marriage, forced marriage, FGM, forced virginity tests etc, girls being excluded from education based on sex etc. Which were not part of British culture in the later half of 20th century and not now.

And abuse and child sexual exploitation of DC exists everywhere. But when certain cultures or Religions use that culture or religion to target DC of different religions or cultures, that is an issue.

Many of the non-white CSA gangs used their religion or culture to facilitate their abuse.

The UK is responsible for it's citizens, including their crimes. It isn't responsible for the wellbeing or comfort of people who came here, ignored our laws and committed crimes.

And when non-British born men who are convicted of rape or multiple rapes of women or DC and use the asylum system or human rights legislation to avoid deportation to their countries of origin which was part of their sentence given when they were convicted of serious crimes, that is a problem that British sex offenders simply don't cause.

This sums it up perfectly.

The OP has evidently done one.

A zombie thread.

That doesn't make any sense.

What a stupid comment with literally no point.

I feel like you think chatgp has made some kind of profound point for you but it's really missed the mark.

Have you watched "The Zone of Interest?"

Highly recommend. Hugely powerful.

Well OP never came back.
Is she wearing a tin hat and shitting herself in her understairs cupboard?

Got us all talking and arguing though didn't it.

Culture wars are made of this drip, drip, drip of hatred and division by unknown sources who then fuck off laughing at and profiting from the mess they make.

I know. 🤣

I understand the impulse to hide this thread. These views are horrible, it hurts to engage, and you're also opening yourself up to some nasty personal abuse. But I also feel that we have to speak up against racism.

(Mind you, I don't engage with all these threads, only when I have the strength and energy to ).

I don't think anyone is having a moral panic. The problem with talking about immigration online is that everyone is assumed to be one extreme or the other. When really it is a mixed bag. I've been an immigrant for much of my life. I like living in multicultural environment.

But isn’t it just as reasonable to want to live in a non multi cultural environment (and I don’t white- I just mean mono cultural not mono ethnic)

People have just had enough of our own culture pushed aside, it's got nothing to do with what colour people are at all, its just certain groups of people refusing to accept British values and expecting us to change.

Elon Musk and Ratcliffe are both immigrants themselves so are they going “home”? Or do they think they are superior because they are white and male and happen to have money? And do not get me started on Musk thinking he should spread his sperm as far and wide as possible.
Of course these bastard billionaire men want to stoke fear to gain more control and power for themselves. Ultimately though, they too will get sick, old and die and sooner rather than later. for Trump. That must really bug them, that they cannot beat death despite all their money and power. And if they are going to be remembered for being nasty villain bastards primarily, how miserable.
