@JustSomeWaferThinHamis regurgitating absolute bollocks, designed to whip up anti-Muslim feeling.

Well, there's a surprise. Who would have guessed it?!

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?

I agree but I don't think that will happen.

Re green eyes : these aren't unique to white people. There are fully Indian people, for one,,who can naturally have green eyes. Any ethnic group can have them naturally due to gene variations, they're just more common in white people.

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?

But if you don’t, if it’s literally just melanin levels, why does it matter?

You really think ‘British values’ respect women? Laughable.

Why? Britain has misogyny but it is definitely better than many other countries, including many Euro ones.

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.

Yep, also Berbers eg. In North Africa can have blue eyes.

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?

Please can you quote the post that you're referring to?

So?
You can see their skin tone.

Yes it’s true. England will be a very different place demographically.

When English people are gone, English values will vanish along with them.

You see already that the weakness of Europe is allowing a more aggressive, regionalist approach to world politics, I can see Europeans are scared about this, but if they cannot project power or protect their own values, then they will be marginalized in this world. It is their own faults, I have to say.

I agree to some extent but do you then think that non English people born abroad or born here (with non-ethnic English parents) cannot acquire English values?

Well, exactly. The only logical explanation for someone obsessing about skin colour but denying that skin colour has anything to do with culture etc. is that they are for some reason obsessed with melanin levels.

So again, @Poetnojo - can you clarify whether it is about melanin levels and nothing else for you, and if so, why?

Breadcat24 · 14/02/2026 14:38

I wish I was less "White" much more beautiful to have a stronger complexion and much more interesting to have a more complex ancestry

Ther's no need to do down any skin colour. You can have a complex ancestry without having non white ancestry , and vice versa

Poetnojo · 15/02/2026 18:20

pointythings · 15/02/2026 17:57

Nobody is putting words in your mouth. We just want to know why you think skin colour is so important and meaningful. And we still don't know, because you haven't told us.

You did put words in my mouth, you want to retract them?

Hilarious, isn’t it, when women’s suffrage was still being fought for a mere century ago, conviction rates for rape are about 2%, marital rape was still legal until the 1990s, and 97% of women and girls in the UK have experienced sexual harassment.

This is significantly better than a huge number of countries though. France, Spain etc were all later in giving women the vote

Advent calenders evolved very quickly over the course of my life from classic nativity scenes with religious symbols in the windows to now just garish vague "festival" graphic versions of whatever branding the corporation uses

There are plenty of religious nativity calenders available @BlueJuniper94 if you look further than the big corporations.

Yes I know.

Are you referring to Putin's regionalist attitude? Trump's? I agree broadly re risks.

ToWhitToWhoo · 15/02/2026 18:24

In any case, white people aren't a monolith! They include a variety of national and cultural backgrounds, just like people of other skin colours.

I'm white as a sheet. I'm also the daughter of two immigrants, themselves of very different (though white) national and religious backgrounds. I'm definitely someone whom people like Rupert Lowe would hate, though they might not spot me as an enemy as quickly as they would someone with darker skin..

I find it incredible that we cling to this idea of 'proud to be British'. The English rulers wanted a unified Britain so they could rule all of it instead of just England. They forced the Welsh and the Scottish accept it then went all over the world and forced others to accept it too.

British, like it's empire, has always been England, (or English rulers/government) in disguise. It's not a name we should be proud of after all the devastation this awful empire went on to cause.

Now, we use the term British to equal diverse. We are being made to be diverse for the sins of the empire. UK white people know this, but we are told we are racist if we mention it.

Yes, in years time, there will be very little left of 'white' Britain. Our culture has to change. But, what our children are taught in school has softened the blow. They will grow up in diverse Britain and won't know any difference.

And before anyone comes and says I'm knocking those that come to live here, let me say, like all of us, I've met some wonderful non UK white British. I just remember how everything once was.

'I just remember how everything once was.'

  • I agree that immigration is bad if in huge numbers where people won't integrate. But 'how everything once was'? - there were Eastern Europeans, Chinese, Indians, Caribbeans in England in small but existent numbers in the 70s, 80s etc . Do they not count? Could they not have been properly British even if they integrated fully, in your eyes?

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.

My post about my ' white daughter ' was just a cut and paste of a post someone wrote about their "mixed race " daughter, I just changed the race to show how it reads the other way around

Yes, agree. So you weren't trying to imply that only white Europeans can have green eyes?
