Ah so should you say similar to the poster who actually posted that about her mixed race daughter, that she better only reproduce with non whites lest whiteness creeps into her family?

Is anyone worried about whiteness in their family? I think you've hallucinated that one!

it’s been raised by Defra as a issue to counteract their observation that the countryside is ‘too white’.

A council in Wales was considering a ban apparently driven by demand from the local Muslim population

There’s plenty of clips on x with people being harassed for walking their dogs in the ‘wrong area’ but obviously there is going to be little official paper trail of what sounds like local hostility to people walking their dogs.

Obviously (and repeatedly) I’m not saying this is all Muslims but there are groups who do this.

Maybe try walking your dog in a heavy concentration Muslim area and report back on the reaction you get? I’d be genuinely delighted to be proven wrong (as with everything I post on this topic).

I don't have a dog. But plenty of my friends do and none of them have any problems, despite the fact that there are lots of Muslims around here.

Can you provide links please for your examples? With reliable sources?

Not X, because we all know that that's a racist cesspit.

Yes, a bit of clarification would be good 😁

As I’ve said, I walk rescue dogs (who already get a bad reaction from some, especially the bull dogs and assorted reactive dogs) in a Muslim area. Zero negativity from Muslims.

If you think that ethnicity is solely about skin colour, you really need to read up on some cultural anthropology. 🙄

Ethnicity and genetics are often closely linked. Do you think they are totally separate?

Do they mean ALL white people or specifically white Britons?

They are probably also failing to account for the fact that's it highly unlikely immigration will continue until then at that level (which is probably what the prediction depends on) and for the fact that immigrant birth rates tend to fall in line with the rest of population by second generation.

I think the year 2056 is a typo (not of yours, I saw it in the other thread), as it seems rather a precise year to use? Anyhoo I went searching on Google and can't find it mentioned. I can however find other mentions:

whites will 'become the minority in the next 40 years'.

https://metro.co.uk/2025/06/06/im-scared-a-report-britains-minority-white-future-23348192/

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 mother wouldn't be white British as her father was a Polish post-WW2 immigrant. This seems very dubious.

I'll answer that when you answer my question about why you are so concerned about skin colour, and only about skin colour, not any other human qualities.

Are you referring to me? I don't recall anyone else on the thread having mentioned having a mixed race daughter, but I may have missed it.

If you are referring to me, then you are just blatantly making things up now. That often happens when people start to realise that they're losing the argument.

As it happens, my mixed race daughter is very likely to end up having children with her white boyfriend. So her dc are likely to be 3/4 white. Personally, I couldn't care less what ethnicity they are, I just want them to be healthy and happy.

Grace Kelly's German side of the family are far more interesting than her Irish roots. One of them tried to kill Hitler.

No idea what that poster was hinting at either.

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

Edited

To be fair, immigration from the empire was very small until it was over. That was the huge unfairness for Windrush generation etc: they has grown up during the empire being told ot was the mother country, but then when it ended they arrived to face a lot of aggression, at least to some extent.

Sounds like from what I can gather a gobshite on Twitter took a line out of context and used it to spread fear on there and certain people lapped it up. Maybe one person raised a concern? Which is what they were asking people's to do, raise any concerns and /or wishes.
Wales councils have said they haven't banned it at all and aren't going to.

pointythings · 15/02/2026 17:38

You keep going on and on and on about 'white people deserving to thrive' without any context. So what is it that you think is worthy of thriving purely based on skin colour? And why? I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm trying to get to why you think skin colour is so important.

But you did say I was equating colour with morals and behaviour etc and I've asked you to quote me, maybe you would like to retract your accusations?
