Whites are becoming the minority by 2056 and its a huge significant cultural shift in our society.
Significantly the biggest cultural shift in 1500 years

this was the statement on the thread entitled ‘ to be concerned about growing resentment towards people of colour’

Skin colour does not equal culture.

Why would it matter even if it was true? The UK was formerly the largest coloniser on the globe, so people all over the world were part of the British Empire and later the Commonwealth. People in those countries were British subjects for decades, usually without any choice, and were subject to British rule, English language and control from the UK. When we needed workers in this country after the Second World War, we turned to the Commonwealth to fill the gaps in native skill sets and numbers. Our country owes people in former British colonies a huge debt, for the rape and colonisation of their countries and the overrunning of their own political and cultural systems. It’s only natural, therefore, that a lot of people living in the UK don’t have white skin. This has historically been a country of migrants from all over Europe, a mongrel nation, since at least Roman times. It is a noble tradition, and one which has contributed to our rich culture of food, music and literature. I am so sick of anti-immigrant rhetoric, as an historian. The Britain that filthy racist thugs and Reform want you to bemoan is a myth. Our culture is so much richer for what all the people living on these islands, wherever they are from in the world, contribute.

Yet, here you are thinking it’s ok for people to rape and colonise Britain?

If you think the numbers of people immigrating here is doing that, you have a problem with simple arithmetic, and basic reasoning.

dairydebris · 14/02/2026 14:13

Who cares?

I expect we'll all be of mixed heritage within a couple of hundred years.

Human variation is beautiful and fascinating.

Thestarsmayalign · 14/02/2026 14:13

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 .

British values are nothing to do with the colour of your skin.

WhisperingAngelisnotbad · 14/02/2026 14:15

I have 1 parent from a proudly Celtic family - so a very long tradition of links to Britain - and another parent who was an immigrant from the. Commonwealth after WWII. My husband is very English. Am I white British? Are my kids?

No, no, no. OP is just a concerned citizen, I am sure.

You do realise a lot of non ‘whites’ are also British

ClearFruit · 14/02/2026 14:16

'White' people are in the minority across the world.

PS what a fucking ridiculous thread.

'Whites'. For fucks sake.

Which demographic are you concerned about? Come on, don't be shy.

Oh FFS, who cares.

We should be more concerned about poor people becoming the majority than
" whites" becoming a minority.

Thought poor people are the majority

ExtraOnions · 14/02/2026 14:18

The area I live in is 99.2% White .. unless something very odd happened, then this is unlikely to change anytime soon.

I sometimes think that Journo’s think everywhere is London, and it really isn’t.

I have no issue if “whites” become a minority, places change, and who’s to say that our culture is superior

How on earth are you making the leap from talking about skin colour to worrying about women's rights?

Have you swallowed some racist propaganda about black and brown men being a threat to women while white men are just trying to protect them?

And have you actually watched the news lately?

The Op is able to make the leap

because she is a racist

they specialise in making leaps

Thattimenow
Absolutely not a reform voter! Read my comment.
I would not vote reform due to their stance on womens rights.
Please see my comment that the reason I expressed the concern re population shift was around the potential move away from a cultural stance that recognises women’s rights - hard won.My issue would be if cultures that did not recognise these rights became more dominant , those rights may be affected if policymakers were affected.

So where's the source? Sounds like a load of shit to me.

And so what if it is true, races are getting much more mixed, it's no longer taboo to marry outside your race and people travel all over the world. We have mixed races many times in the past, it makes us what we are.

several people have found the thread - on Aibu- that I am referring to.
I will try to link it .

Happyjoe · 14/02/2026 14:25

My mum in the 1950's was told that everyone by the 1980's would be 'coffee coloured' by her teacher, in a class.
Racist twats and hey, still the same old shit spun out today. Sigh.
