In 30 years- so one generation? When quite a lot of immigration is from White countries ( Poland, Albania etc?)

Exactly, I think these people are using white to mean white British, so excluding white Europeans.

This is what people who say London is majority non-white mean. London is NOT majority non-white. It is majority non-white British.

And how do you think it reads? Because nobody seems much bothered by it.

I'll go post it on the black mumsnetters section and get back to you shall I?

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

Right, so you were indeed referring to me.

Thanks for confirming this. That confirms what I originally thought. You are just making things up because you know that you're losing the argument.

The problem with just making things up is that everyone here can read. You just end up looking a bit stupid.

Which bit of it do you think people might interpret as being racist exactly? Genuine question.

Please articulate exactly why you think it would be interpreted as racist.

Perhaps you should retract your made up posts and spurious allegations first?

Which ones would those be?

Carlie97 · 14/02/2026 15:04

I will tell you why it's an issue. It's because some non-white men see women as not equal to them. I've seen first hand that they see women as something they own. Something they can ogle when it suits. I also don't want my country to lose its culture, customs and heritage.

As a white person, I'm also very regular a minority on the bus I commute on and it's fucking bedlam because of the other passengers and their cultural norms. Shouting down their phone on loudspeaker, taking up two seats instead of one, throwing litter on the bus and taking forever to look for their pass or money because 'there's no rush'.

Are they from India? Unfortunately India as a whole still has big issues with civic sense. I hang out a lot on reddit for India & this often comes up.

This is also common in people from overcrowded countries.

StarlingTheConqueror · 14/02/2026 15:08

Here is my issue with your post @Thestarsmayalign
It’s based on the assumption that British values are better. That we have equality between men and women in the U.K. we have values that (seemingly) other races do not share.

Now, just looking at the last 20 ish years, can you clarify, do the British values you want to protect include

  • there is rarely a prosecution when women report a rape but men very regularly won their trial for libel against women who claimed they’ve been raped?
  • a country currently openly supported Israel and the massacre of Palestinians and children. Just like it also supported to Weapon of Mass Destruction in Iraq etc….
  • a country becoming keener and keener on reducing human rights (see right to protest for example, Palestine Action etc….)
  • a country where paedophiles are known by the Police or Media (or at the very least lots of presumption, witnesses etc…) but nothing is done. And no I’m not talking about the recent Epstein stuff. I’m talking about some football managers, police officers etc…. Much more mundane stuff.
I mean the list can be quite long if you just look a bit. (And I voluntarily didn’t go into the more historic stuff from the 1960~1980, let alone earlier on)

So yes, for me, your post comes across as quite racist. Like you believe that being white British sort of gives you this aura of ‘being good’ whilst others ‘are culturally different and bad’ clearly assuming that anything that isn’t white British culture is not as good.

I very much feel that if the British values you find so important are that important, then you should start by upholding them. I believe this includes tolerance and inclusion (or at least that’s what they teach in schools right?)

Britain has huge flaws but so does everywhere. It is one of the best overall.

What country in the world do you think has the best values?

I wouldn't dream of misusing the Black MNetters forum in that way. I'm sure we don't need to resort to that anyway, as you can just explain your thinking.

Catza · 14/02/2026 15:06

I don't think the inclusion of "non white" was necessary. Some men see women as not equal to them. And I see plenty of them being white and British.

These are statistically more likely to be non white though. Misogyny is everywhere but the worst countries for women are mainly in ME and Africa, as well as Afghanistan, Pakistan, to some extent India etc

The made up post refers to the one that I have already quoted above.

The spurious allegation relates to you calling me racist. I challenge you to find any evidence to back up that claim.

This is pure fabrication.

Someone told me that my made up 'white daughter' should only reproduce with a white partner lest mixed race creep into my family.
I asked if the same would be said to the mother of the "mixed race " daughter she described in the exact same way lest whiteness creeps in 🙄
So again what did I make up?

Are they?
I mean, I agree women are treated worse in the countries you mention. I’m not convinced the men in general are more misogynistic though. It’s just that the worst ones are in power

”British values of Tolerance and inclusion”

also seen in

Chucking bricks at mosques
Picketing outside hotels with Refugees in them
Trying to outlaw women wearing what they want

It's not intolerant to think it should be compulsory to show your face. There is often coercion to cover face in some communities, but aside from this, showing your face is a basic British value.

Forced marriage , rape, FGM, child marriage & similar, arr more common overall, mores held generally tend to be much more misogynistic.

Many comments seem to think having light skin and corresponding features is a bad thing and can be eliminated.

Yet India a predominantly non white country has a caste system that favours lighter skin ?

Are you saying India is right to do that??

I agree that no skin colour should be bashed.

Carla786 · 15/02/2026 18:42

AmusedShark · 14/02/2026 15:34

No it isn't.

But there aren't many white British men who travel to other countries to engage in forced marriages, circumventing the forced marriage laws in the UK. Then bring women back to the UK on spouse visas.

Who think their wives shouldn't work outside the home, learn English, know that rape in marriage is illegal and should just sit in misery in their homes with their husband and ILs.

There's not many white British men and their family members and friends murdering wives, sisters or daughters who dared to 'dishonour' their husbands or families by wanting to escape abuse or have a relationship their families don't approve of.

There aren't a lot of white grooming gangs using religion or culture to facilitate the rape of white children by telling them they had to marry a good girl from their religion or culture but you're really my girlfriend and the one I love but you can't tell anyone or my family and community will shun me.

Or telling white British girls that in their religion or culture, it's usual that your girlfriend has sex with other male family members or friends and if they don't, their 'boyfriend' will be shamed in the community, or even beaten up.

Forcing white British girls to have abortions because a mixed-heritage DC would confirm that a sexual relationship had taken place.

Murdering White British girls who 'dishonoured' the rapist by having sex with another man.

JFC it's like Rotherham, Rochdale, Bradford and so on didn't even happen when so many people are claiming 'men abuse, Epstein was a right nonce and he was white, nothing at all to see here where religion or culture may play a part'

Exactly

That just demonstrates what I said about power. The worst ones are in charge. Many, many men in the rest of the world would be ok with all that.
