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 .

Reform getting in worries me a hell of a lot more than anything about "people who aren't white."
As they seriously seem to want to take women backwards.
What part of British values and rights do you think will be taken away from us by "non whites?" (for want of a better expression!)

MunicipalDarwinism
Any culture that sees women as second class citizens and treats them accordingly.

Oh for God's sake. We all know what you are insinuating here. That wide-eyed faux naivety doesn't wash.

MyrtleLion · 14/02/2026 14:27

Have you not met British people? Including British people whose skin colour is not white?

The chances of any group getting the power to change our tolerance, our humour, our ability to take the piss out of the slightest thing are tiny.

Boaty McBoatface is one of the most British things that has ever happened. It doesn't matter what your background or heritage, if you're British or have lived here for more than five minutes, you get it. That attitude is the same one that will never allow our rights to be removed by fundamentalist groups of any religion, political or cultural group. Once we've finished laughing we will fight and resist as we have done since forever.

Stop scaremongering. It's not very British of you.

Namechangedforthis25 · 14/02/2026 14:27

what is white anyway

Indigenous “white people” aren’t even white if you go back far enough

but even those “white” people are a global minority by far anyway

the UK has always been a melting pot of races because it literally had an empire

the world is a melting pot in the same way

so yes this could be a thing but it’s not to do with immigrants but rather the whole human race mingling as a human race - because we now can - due to air travel etc

but in reality I don’t see it happening in the uk anyway
Skin colour has nothing to do with culture so it really doesn’t mean a thing in any way at all

so a totally pointless irrelevant fact

LakieLady · 14/02/2026 14:27

Which was based on a study by Matt Goodwin, the article above heavily criticises his method - which defines 'white British' as those without at least one immigrant parent.

By that measure, my friend, whose South Asian forebears came to live in the UK sometime in the 1920s, is white. That'll come as news to him, as he's very brown and has been subjected to racist abuse and racist violence.

Matt Goodwin's definition of "white British" would also include descendants of the Windrush generation, as long as both their parents were born in the UK. I'm sure they'll be surprised to learn they're white.

CarefullyCuratedFurniture · 14/02/2026 14:28

What about Albanians? They are white, but they're also Muslims, and they're a big and growing immigrant community in England. They must actually make some racists' heads explode.

What rights and values do you think are being protected now that are attributed to being white as opposed to being British/european/western/liberal/modern whatever? Crazy dog whistle thread.

ExtraOnions · 14/02/2026 14:29

Odd how your current crop of Racists, hang their hat in “women’s rights” and “protecting women and children”, whilst simultaneously ignoring the fact that the biggest threat to women and girls are White British Men.

Shroedingers Racists

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

If you're worried about womens' rights your concerns should be a lot more urgent than the 2050s. The Republicans are systematically removing womens' rights in the USA and if they achieve their desired outcome of removing the vote from women, it's all over.

Whatever happens in the USA eventually comes here and they are doing their damnedest to spread their sickness to Europe. Farage and his lot would be only too willing to oblige. Farage is already talking about abortion rights and Goodwin is talking about how young girls need to be indoctrinated into starting breeding young.

Reform is what you need to worry about, not people with brown skin. It doesn't matter the culture, skin colour or ideology of the men in power, women need to vote to preserve and enhance our rights.

Who are “whites” ???

Katemax82 · 14/02/2026 14:30

I watched some infomercial in 2000 that said stuff like by 2020 France would be a Muslim country or something. Ignore these predictions

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

I'm not asking for the thread though, I'm asking for the source to your claim?
If this claim was on another thread, and wasn't you and "you're just worried" (about what?) why didn't you ask for the source on there instead of a new thread to people who won't know what you're on about - unless you're wanting to just spread worry (again, about what?) to others?

Merkins · 14/02/2026 14:30

Whites already are the minority and always have been. They make up only 14% of the global population. The far right’s ethnocentric view of white equaling superiority is obvious Nazi bollocks, as is their great replacement theory. They’re just scared of anyone who doesn’t look like them.

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’

Are you saying Romans from 1500 years ago? Who were also pretty diverse from all over the Roman empire and beyond. We've had Normans and Vikings since then, not to mention huge influx of Irish and a steady stream of people from Commonwealth countries and refugees from all over Europe from the two world wars. And of course we have spread ourselves all over the world too. Populations change, so what. Have you looked at your DNA?

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.

Natural redheads and blindes wont exist. No more blue and green eyes

We will all have identical features and colouring brown hair, brown skin and brown eyes. In irself it is attractive but not if all other variations no longer exist. We are told diversity is good. Well there will be no diversity in appearance.

Do you all really think that is a good outcome?

2 of my son's are probably the whitest people you would see (my 7 year old is like a male Wednesday Adams)

Does it matter what skin colour people in the uk have?

This.

Reform is what you need to worry about, not people with brown skin. It doesn't matter the culture, skin culture or ideology of the men in power, women need to vote to preserve and enhance our rights

Completely agree with this, and it's why as a woman I'd never vote for Reform. I think they're the biggest threat to us.

Oh FFS, who cares.

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

Totally. Who gives a shit what colour anyone is?

Have you heard of evolution? Do you know where humans originated? Do you understand how Homo sapiens arose and evolved?

Somersetbaker · 14/02/2026 14:35

Time to recreate the aryan master race. Didn't go well for the last man to try it did it and the Daily Fail thought he was a jolly good chap. Why doesn't the OP admit she's racist and proud of it.

Oh bless you. You really don't get genetics, do you?

Have a look at some of the most genetically stirred-up populations in the world, in Central Asia, Afghanistan, etc. You'll see people with skin of all colours, with red hair, brown hair, even natural blonde hair occasionally. You'll see people with blue, green, hazel and brown eyes. So don't panic, poppet, morphological diversity will continue.
