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).
