What utter tosh!

Do you honestly believe that all brown-skinned people look the same? That there's no diversity of appearance among them?

Just among black MPs there are huge differences. David Lammy and Clive Lewis could hardly look more different, likewise Diane Abbot and Kate Osamor.

I didn't say they look the same.

On the subject of David Lammy, he does not look like any of these but who has a passing resemblance from a distance

Kwasi kwarteng
Rishi Sunak
Boris Johnson

This thread has more important issues to discuss I am just surprised some people are so keen for some physical characteristics to be eliminated.

Fetishising features of other ethnicities is also a form of racism, btw.

No need for that comment. You've misunderstood.
There's no question of fetishising anything.
Just a desire not to be so pale.

Those not giving a shit if this is not true haven't experienced life in a real multicultural area.

The two negatives make me unsure what this means. I don't give a shit and I live in a really multicultural area. In Ireland admittedly but I feel the same about the issue here.

I grew up in north London. Dont know if you've ever been to London but even years ago, it was very very multicultural. So yes, I do believe you when you say that a lot of the antisocial behaviour you see on your bus comes from non-white people. However, have you also been to a really rough bit of south Wales, or the Essex coast? 90% white and still loads of threatening and antisocial behaviour. Scummy people come in every colour.

PS. The "no rush" people drive me mental too, and I would deport all of them, regardless of nationality or colour.

And they were the ones employing illegal workers

Take your points and wil think about them , thank you .
My primary issue does in fact relate to British values of tolerance and inclusion- it is my fear that if that ceases to be a feature of British culture if it is dominated by other less tolerant and inclusive cultures ie culture that sees women as second class citizens- that is not a tolerance culture.
There are areas in this country now that are absolutely no go areas for white women who are seen as asking for trouble by wearing simple’ western’ non provocative clothes..this is not tolerance or inclusion- by those cultures. Wereas in the main British culture is accepting of how anyone dresses.
so yes - i do not want area s were women are judged just for their (white ) colour and dress- I don’t want it to stay more of an accepting place .
this issue is very real in area s I have worked in . For example in a large traditional Muslim area - The women were not allowed to address me in my work context , just the men . . This to me is less of what I feel is British values of inclusion- when the women were not allowed to even speak.

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?

Gosh actually you're right.

Might be less blonde and red hair, blue eyes.

If there's less division by skin colour though thats all good with me.

The OP's concern that there will le 'less whites' is absolutely baffling to me. It's just a dog whistle.

Wtf? Is this Mumsnet or have I accidentally wandered onto a Stormfront forum?

I know this may make me sound like a conspiraloon, but I sometimes wonder if MN is being targeted by far-right activists. I'm on many other forums, and never see this sort of shite on any of them.

It's very strange. Worrying, too, occasionally I come across posts that are getting very close to inciting racial hatred.

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

Trump’s America? The Royal Family? Madelson? Looks like there will be no further arrests in the most well documented child rape ring in history. Mostly white men, many British.

Don’t kid yourself. Women have to fight for their rights, and those of children, everywhere.

Mixed heritage people with one immigrant parent, which is what he’s talking about, well that’s a lot of us now. My wider family is Irish, Polish, British, Jamaican, Pakistani, Canadian, the list goes on. If you want the UK just to be people who live in the same street as their nan, it’s already too late. It was too late 1000 years ago.

Perhaps there should a breeding programme for all redheads to only procreate with each other then to protect the diversity.

Or red heads / blue/ green eyed people should check the racial background of their partners and ensure the future generations of blue eyes.

Genetically diversity is good.

What she meant, double negative aside - is the well off and the non affected - in terms of some aspects- do not have a clue . As a post professional working in these sort of areas - the lack of british values of tolerance and inclusion for white British by some other cultures was mind blowing. This is what I wish not to increase. I want to perserve or culture.

It is, just like other forums. Anything that is written to purely to enrage is suspicious. Also, those false naive "I'm just asking questions" to give the poster a way to say something completely racist without saying it directly.

Ginmonkeyagain · 14/02/2026 15:32

The study defines "not white British" as someone with one or more immigrant parent.

FYI that is Boris Johnson and the King.

Mr Monkey is very white, British born and has two immigrant parents . This study defines him as not white British. It's racist bullshit.

So do shit loads of white men!

It’s white men in the Epstein files. White men who have kept women oppressed for centuries.

Let’s not pretend patriarchy is a race issue.

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'

I think people are fed up and want to say what they really think now. That was bound to happen.eventually. The left have tried to control language and speech for so long and suppress any discussion of something like immigration (which can be discussed without the involvement of racisim) that people have been unable to talk about their own lived experience. Which they are perfectly entitled to do. Reduction of immigration is a mainstream view. The left are trying to conflate it with racism but it isnt, and most people know that.

That doesn't excuse real racism of course. We just need facts and figures rather than "feelings".

Seriously?! You're only concerned about brown and black people because you think they're intolerant?!!!
Take a look in the mirror and have a word with yourself. Then pick up a dictionary and look up hypocrisy.

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 ?

Oh yes everyone coming into the UK has made has made it better. Definitely no rapists, drug dealers, knife attackers or murderers.

I don't think anyone is against selective immigration the problem is the scale and letting just anyone in isn't sensible.

You’re talking about individuals. Aside from the fact that white males are responsible for the vast majority of violent crime in this country, immigration policy and practice are dealt with at population scale. You might as well say no women should be allowed to marry men with children because Rose West helped kill her stepdaughter. It makes as much sense in policy terms.

But people like you and others on this thread and everywhere now don’t make much sense, and seem to be allergic to statistics, thinking and reason.
