I think the problem is not skin colour, but type of person. I live in a mixed area but everyone no matter what their ethnicity is a good citizen.

We will have by 2050s a large mass of people who are not “citizens” but members of communities that have no interest in the country: not the history, the football team, the the art/literature, the Eurovision Song Contest - whatever. My cousin who is a teacher in East London says that in the last couple of years she has experienced for the first time parents who see no necessity for their dcs to learn English.

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.

British values of tolerance and inclusion, you say... There is very little evidence of that value still being mainstream among white British population. "Accepting of how anyone dresses" apart from very white, very British Boris Johnson comparing Muslim women wearing traditional dress to letter boxes.
Let's not kid ourselves about prevalence of tolerance and inclusion in white British society. That ship has sailed long ago (if it was ever there to begin with).

This thread is wild. Someone will unironically start talking about rivers of blood in a minute. The dark underbelly of this society is starting to show itself. It sickens me.

I agree, but it's not for the first time.

I'm so old that I can remember the National Front coming out with similar shite in the 1970s. There were little posters on lamp posts around Croydon, where I lived at the time, predicting that in 50 years time, there'd be no white people left in Britain if immigration wasn't stopped.

It was bollocks then, and it's bollocks now. It's just a pisser that this shite is still being spouted 50 years later. And just like 50 years ago, the opposition is mobilising again.

This why there’s a massive list for English as a second language classes?

How about the funding for these classes be reinstated and the classes become more accessible?

In Britain, due to British values, that Muslim woman has the right to speak for herself, has the right to vote without her husband seeing where she places her cross, has the right to her own money, has the right to report him to the police if he doesn’t comply with British law. She is entitled to apply for housing in her own right if she decides to leave him, which she can under British law, and she will be supported by the apparatus of local government and police if she does so. And so on.

Can you show me an example of where any of the rights women have fought for have been threatened by changes to legislation proposed in the House of Commons by black or brown MPs on the basis of their own skin colour or the culture of people who share their skin colour? There have been black and brown MPs for decades now, so surely if you think that this erosion of British values, and by extension British laws, is going to take place if more black and brown people live here, you have evidence that this is happening? What is the evidence that British law and governance is under threat? Apart from Reform’s rhetoric, and that of the rich, white, British men of the establishment who run it, and their cronies?

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'

Have you been to Bangkok? It’s all white men as sex tourists.

Those children are not attending school then? Or does your cousin teach in a different language?

Unless white people suddenly stop having kids what this means is that your descendants will have kids with non white people, therefore producing kids that aren’t white. So these people will be your family, if that makes sense.

I couldn’t care less about the colour of the public but I don’t want any theological fanaticism taking over.

My family is already like that. No problem.

Plenty of white British (and other nationality) men going off to places like Thailand as sex tourists. Plenty of white men in the Epstein files spouting misogyny and ignoring the trafficking of young girls.

Its for Thailand to decide whether they want them to stay or not. They make their own laws. Just as the UK can make its own laws about who stays or goes.

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

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.

OP I live just outside a city centre, pretty much the cheapest area to buy a house in (entirely why we bought here).

In my street there are 10 houses.
Of these I am the only "white" person.
My neighbours are a mix of Hindu, Sikh and Muslim.
Some born here, some immigrated here.

Their children (and fathers) play cricket and games together.

They have various occupations, all speak English and in the 20 years I've lived here Police have never had to attend for a crime as far as I'm aware.

They all look out for all their neighbours and take pride in their homes and neighbourhood.

Tell me - in what ways are they not displaying British values?

WhatAboutThisUser · 14/02/2026 16:04

I’m curious where you live OP, if you find it so surprising.

If the percentage of people who aren’t white constantly increases then it’s eventually going to reach over 50%, it’s just a question of when.

The point being it’s white men who are going there.

Common denominator is the poor behaviour of men. Regardless of colour.

"Accepting of how anyone dresses" apart from very white, very British Boris Johnson comparing Muslim women wearing traditional dress to letter boxes.
Let's not kid ourselves about prevalence of tolerance and inclusion in white British society. That ship has sailed long ago (if it was ever there to begin with).

Johnson is an arsehole but he wasn't saying traditional Muslim dress which is hijab, was like letterboxes, he was talking about the burqa which is not a mode of dress as advised in the Quran but a garment with no religious basis imposed by men in some muslim societies to oppress and abuse women which conceals the entire body including hands apart from a small opening at the eyes which is still usually veiled.

It's nothing to do with Islamic scripture, doctrine or tradition and is a cultural form of extreme abuse of women in the same way FGM has no scriptural basis in Isalm and is a form of oppression and abuse dictated by men in some muslim societies.

Perhaps you should educate yourself before being so willing to throw women and their bodies under the bus in your virtue-signalling quest to be 'tolerant and inclusive',

I live in a place like this too. BUT there are places not like this at all and statistically they will be growing.

BuffysBigSister · 14/02/2026 16:13

Are you saying only victims that you approve of are worth caring about? You're willing to ignore sexual abuse if its by white men against non-British women? What about the rapes committed by white British men against British women? Can we talk about them? The common denominator is men. Regardless of nationality or colour

Thats anecdotal. Repulsive but anecdotal. Can we use those men in the bar as the example of white men in general? We would need to know what percentage of white men do that to judge.

What utter bollocks.

I grew up in Croydon, and lived there until I was 36. I lived mostly around West Croydon/Thornton Heath/South Norwood, which was very racially mixed even the late 70s/80s.

It didn't bother me then, and it doesn't bother me now.

im not seeing facts and figures about black brown men stats. So this is comparable imo.

But yes hopefully it’s only a small percentage of white men that choose to be sex tourists.
