What would the Left call the Right, if the small boat people were white?

I'll start by saying, I am very anti open boarders, and I am horrified that so many illegal immigrants are arriving every day. But for me, it has absolutely nothing to do with skin colour, it is more to do with :

ONE) They have no documentation, and we have no idea if they have criminal backgrounds

TWO) They tend to come from cultures where women are not respected

THREE) They often come from places where rape is not a crime

FOUR) They cannot work, and it is costing Millions to house, feed and clothe them

FIVE) We are granting asylum to some people who should never get it - like the Hamas bodyguard we heard of yesterday

Lots of valid reasons I feel, however, for me, it has nothing to do with skin colour. If I had to be locked in a room overnight with a white man from a backward culture, or a black man from the UK, I would choose the latter, every single time.

It isn't colour, it's culture

But I see that people on the Far Left just scream "Racist" to anyone who opposes illegal immigration. What would they scream, if all the small boats were full of white men? And would people still march for England?

Mmhm. & Cartesian co-ordinates in 2d are generally of form x,y. In 3d x,y,z.
So your premis of co-ordinates w,y & x,z as one instance appears to describe a line rather than a polygon if the letters represent arbitrary integers.
Perhaps you could provide a diagram for clarity, they seem popular on the parking threads.

Two pairs of coordinates, a,b and c,d

You can complete the rectangle by inferring c,b and a,d.

It’s often used in 2d computer graphics.

We're stuck with white British men (though the vast vast majority are perfectly lovely).

No need to import foreign men from worse countries

Well all the men coming into my property to do repairs and maintenance jobs over the past year have been white British men. I probably should have told them they can't repair the damp and sort out the central heating as they are white British men and untrustworthy.

I just wish the right would get more angry about things that truly matter rather than being manipulated into thinking immigrants or anyone ’other’ is to blame for your shortcomings in life

Who says we don't "get angry"? It's as though you're objecting to the fact we see illegal immigration as being a problem and arguing it's preventable. How boats are stopped from coming over is another matter. We don't have to be happy about it and include home born rapists into every concern. We are also best placed to decide what truly
matters - to us.

You spoke of cartesian co-ordinates. If only you'd stated your assumptions or included a diagram your comment would have had more clarity.

This whole subthread is daft because nobody is suggesting excluding people on the basis of an arbitrary polygon.

I have nothing against polygons myself.

Why are you trying to manipulate people into believing they have shortcomings? You seem to have been manipulated into believing people with different opinions on immigration are somehow deficient? Who manipulated you into that belief?
