Where did you get that number from?

It was in the article, although referring to London, not to the entire country.

> 2000s. Chiefly because it's no longer full of native Brits. In 2000, more than sixty percent of the city were native Brits. By 2024, that had dropped to about a third. A statistic as evident as day when you walk the streets of London now.

From DHH’s linked blog?

Yeah.. About that ... What is a "native Brit"? A white person? Isn't a 2nd or 3rd generation Londoner from Muslim or catholic background with non white skin a British?

I can't see how it was calculated but if you check government numbers, legal migrants are less than a 1% and illegal are not even close to that.

If you are worried about how much they cost, I'm sure they are less than the war in Russia, or many of the electoral campaigns for sure.

Are you sure this info is unbiased and well curated?

They are just responding to the post about the quotation. What's your problem?

I’m not worried about anything. I ain’t even sure if DHH is correct in his tone. It’s more like something similar from the book I read about biker gang’s white supremacist.

London, not the UK.

White British plus white Irish make up 82% of the population of the UK. It is slightly complicated because the Irish are a native population in Northern Ireland and and immigrant one in Great Britain and there were slightly different ethnicity options in the census in Scotland to in England etc.

Even if it was the case, which by merely impression of being there for few days recently, but even if it was, are the folks he referring slaughtering white people? attacking them? Curbing their right for their beliefs? Taking all the jobs deeming a class, race or group segregated?

I don't think so. If anything, i don't think "native Brits" as he called, not wanting to do any of the low-end jobs.

I get why people are frustrated, but it feels like anger's just being used for political gains. There is no easy answers to the current economic problems.

This is exactly the same Brexit maneuver, done by the exact same people trying to rise a political party that has no true solution rather than blame people.

After the EU nothing has improved in the UK. There was no money for the NHS anyway. It is just a political trick IMO

I have a more cynical cynical variation on that take. its being used to distract attention from the need for real economic (or any other) change. Politicians want business as usual (i.e. the Blair/Cameron "centrist" consensus).

I do not think the EU is relevant to this. They have the same problems.

I don’t want to sound like Elon musk (he’s corrupt like the rest), but white people aren’t really reproducing at a rate to keep them going. There’s other ways for a race to die out. You think a majority asian Britain is going to be favorable to whites?

> i don't think "native Brits" as he called, not wanting to do any of the low-end jobs.

Because they’re awful jobs. The elites running the country opted to import cheap, exploitable labor instead of improving the working conditions of their countrymen.

And this is ultimately the problem with immigration. It’s done by an elite that hates their people. The elites profit while the common people suffer.

> It is also a habit of tyrants to prefer the company of aliens to that of citizens at table and in society; citizens, they feel, are enemies

Aristotle said this thousands of years ago. The behavior we’re seeing isn’t new, and the response of “we want people that look like us in power” isn’t anything new either. Race is an extension of family, and a ruler who views the people as an extension of their family will rule much better than one who views the people as cattle.

The ultimate problem is the rich hate the natives and have too much money. They push immigration because it cheapens their bottom line and ensures the people will remain divided. They refuse to use their wealth to better their nation.

> There is no easy answers to the current economic problems

There is an extremely easy answer. The levels of corruption are so astronomical that simply installing rulers who aren’t corrupt would turn things around overnight. Unfortunately, the elites have done a good job conditioning the people to view good elites as “far right racists” simply because they’ll prioritize family over foreigners. And until we can unwind that conditioning, things are going to continue getting worse at a time when we have technological miracles.

> You think a majority asian Britain is going to be favorable to whites

Yes it will be. Most British Asians are culturally British and become more so with each generation.

Secondly, there are multiple different Asian cultures in the UK, so the most substantial common ground different groups of Asians have is our Britishness. The dominant culture is very much British because each minority culture is individually small.

Also, there is a long, long way to go for the 9% of the population who are Asian to become a majority.

> There’s other ways for a race to die out

Races (in that sense) always die out. I cannot see many Angles or Jutes around in England.

> Because they’re awful jobs. The elites running the country opted to import cheap, exploitable labor instead of improving the working conditions of their countrymen.

That much is true.

> Race is an extension of family

That is BS. I can define who is family. How do you define race? Shared culture? I have dealt with that idea already. Genetics? It does not map well to usual categories of race. You can only make sense of this by selecting a few inherited attributes (primarily skin colour) and classifying people by a literally skin deep difference.
