Who said I'm scared?
So which countries to you think it would be positive to decrease their native population with another ethnicity?
Sound extremely racist to want to decrease a certain race

You've failed to explain anything 😂

Nah, read the thread, it's more like everyone thinks there's something wrong with having white skin 😂

I have read the thread, I disagree with your conclusion.

I do think the racist tropes being thrown out are disgusting though.

@marcyhermit do you not believe white British should continue to grow in population in Britain? If not why not?

No. I literary couldn't give a shit. In the same way as I wouldn't give a shit if the population of people with big ear lobes, or a long second toe or wear contact lenses instead of glasses grows or declines. Because it makes no difference to my life and I don't feel like I've lost something if I see someone brown!

I have explained although you are yet to mention which countries you think it would be a positive in? Why is that? I'll wait

Are you saying it will be good when there are fewer white people in Britan?

Yes

White is no different from any other skin tone. It's just melanin.

NoMoreLifts · 15/02/2026 00:49

I think it might be helpful to read about phenotype vs genotype e.g.physical appearance vs genes that you are carrying.

White is no different from any other skin tone. It's just melanin.

If Pakistan was being swamped by a million white European immigrants every year, do you think they'd shrug and say "it's just melanin"? If not, why not?

Is it a problem if new settlements are allowed in the West Bank? If not, why not? It's just melanin.

Somerford · 15/02/2026 01:16

What a difference a thread title makes

"Jim Radcliffe said Britiain is being colonised by immigrants" - MN lefties absolutely frothing

"Studies suggest indigenous British people are being demographically displaced and replaced" - its just melanin man, chill out

marcyhermit · 15/02/2026 01:46

Sounds great for their economy that a million people want to work and study there?
Out of a population of 260million I don't think they'd be 'swamped' though 😂
Pakistan also takes a lot more refugees in than we do by the way.

Scale it up if you want, call it 20 million a year if thats the number required for you to not find it funny. I doubt they view their country as an economic zone in the way that you seem to though, if there was enough European immigrant into their country that Pakistani Muslims were on course to br a minority in Pakistan it'd have been dealt with long before anybody needed to discuss it. European lefties would be campaigning against it and calling it colonisation.

Is this country the ancestral homeland of anybody at all? If not, do any people anywhere on the planet have any right to object to being displaced and replaced?

marcyhermit · 15/02/2026 02:08

It's not going to happen because of immigration though.
Pakistan isn't going to suddenly get 100 million immigrants in a year. Neither is the UK.
The UK is 83% white, there aren't enough immigrants that want to come here to change that.
If the skin tone of British people changes over many generations of people marrying and having children, who cares?

The UK is 74-75% white British today, and that is a rapid decrease compared to pre 1997 numbers. Once New Labour decided that they wanted to "rub the right's nose in diversity", there was a dramatic demographic change which continues to this day and was accelerated to an almost comical degree by Boris Johnson in the Covid Era. It takes two generations to carry out Demographic replacement, if the political elite are especially determined to do it, and that's what's happening now. Fortunately this can be dealt with at the ballot box.

I guess it would be possible/probable, yes. But I haven't looked up the research

ETA, it doesn't matter

Even if it were true, what's the problem? Worried whites might get treated like we have treated everyone else down the centuries?

Lots of who cares, so what. Who gives a shit.
Lots more if you'd care to look

Do you not care that your children will become a hated minority in this case? Wouldn’t you do whatever you could to prevent that outcome? Or do you already plan for them to leave?

Who is 'indigenous' to Britain??

Japanese are a combination of aboriginal Jomon, Korean rice farmers and Chinese mainland immigrants, stabilized about 1000 years ago.

Are you going to deny them a homeland too? By your strict standards nobody has a homeland, except maybe Palestinians 🤔

It would matter a great deal to me if some of our British values and rights were diluted or reduced
For example if the demographic was one that did not value women s right s - so hard fought for -and influenced policy .
I would be worried if Reform got in for the same reasons .

It matters to me that you're a massive racist.

People seem to mix up cultural heritage and skin color.

I am brown born and raised in France. I am as French as my mom who is white and born and raise in France or my grandparents who are also white and born and raised in France. My skin color doesn’t change the fact that I am French both in terms of nationality but also in terms of culture. IF every white person in France woke up three shades darker tomorrow, would all formerly white French people suddenly stop being French and enjoying the same cultural references, tastes, food etc…? Of course not, at best racism would drop alongside the rate for skin cancer but other than that nothing would change.

IF and that’s a big IF every white person in the UK happened to end up in a relationship with someone darker, how would them having a non-White baby change the fact that their kid will be from the UK raised in the UK by at least a parent from the UK with UK references and its culture, etc…? And what would it change for the generation after that who too would grow up in the UK from parents from the UK even though everyone’s all « black/brown/purple. » ?

People seem to think that if their country ceases to be white, it means they will turn into a Muslim state with a completely different culture and stuff. But that makes no sense because even if the newer darker generation came from mariages to immigrants rather than fellow dark UK folks, it’s already proven that second or third generation not only assimilate but tend to identify with the culture of the country they are born in rather than with where one or both of their parents are from. So anyone raised by British parents will feel British and most people born and raised in the UK will feel British even if one or both of their parents are Indians or Pakistani or from Ghana etc…

It’s my case. My father is a first generation immigrant and while I indentify as half African I identify as 100% French as that’s where I am born and where I have been raised and that’s MY cultural heritage. & I live abroad but my kids, whether white or not will be partly French. Irrelevant of their skin color.

Also a white person having a baby with someone brown is likely to lead to a white baby. I have friends who are the darkest shade of brown and had pale(!) white and blonde kids with blue or green eyes, very few people my skin color I know have kids who are even their shade, let alone darker, if with someone white, most kids are much lighter and either completely white or more tan than brown so mixed marriages etc… do not threaten whiteness and for the white population to disappear you would probably need a genocide more than people reproducing with others of a different shade. Especially because most of the world population (including most immigrants) aren’t even that dark so it doesn’t take that much to get new white babies so getting rid of all white people to replace them with just dark people would be extremely hard if not near on impossible. That the UK population becomes less white than any other shade is possible but if so then so what? Since skin color doesn’t define culture anyway it’s really irrelevant what color UK citizens are and it shouldn’t threaten the « culture ». So to me it’s worrying about nothing (and likely fear based on prejudiced/racism rather than anything tangible).

Edited

The thing people don’t want to engage with, however, is that race is more than just skin color. It’s a whole host of cognitive and physical traits that, while meaningless for an individual human, actually does have effects on a societal level.

When you lose a group of people, you lose that unique mixture. The loss of the Hungarian Jewish community, targeted by the Nazi regime, is especially pitiful. Home to some of the most brilliant people to have EVER existed, people like von Neumann, Leo Szilard, Edward Teller, just intelligent on an almost inhuman scale

Most of this community was murdered in the Holocaust. Others fled to the US and UK, but it’s a huge loss to humanity that that particular community has scattered and it’s only a shadow of its former self.

I’m sure people could make a similar argument about the uniqueness of the British people, and what a loss to the world their disappearance would be. I’m just not the person to make that argument since I’m not British.
