My goodness, people need to leave their ‘supremacist’ scarlet letters in their bags for when they’re actually earned. The Brits are just as much ‘native’ people to their lands as any aboriginal group. To want to keep their characteristic culture from being wiped out is no more supremacist than any other ethnic group doing the same. The hypocrisy is beyond the pale. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

He doesn't talk about culture though. He only talks about native. Like people coming from other countries can't drink tea or enjoy great British bakeoff or something. It's one of those "you know what I mean" posts with racist references. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

They are very much earned, but don't take my word for it when DHH says it himself. > 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. What does he mean here with that last sentence? Did he do a survey? Ask people where they were born or to self report their nationality? No. He walked through London, saw people who weren't white, and then went on his blog to complain about "non native Brits". He is explicitly talking about skin colour and implying that unless you are white you are not British. That definitionally racist. To then go on, and praise Tommy Robinson, a far-right extremist who's spent the past decade stoking hate. The message of this article leaves no room for misunderstanding. In DHH's own view if you are not a white "native" Brit then you should be removed. That is, by definition, a white supremacist. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Oh, is this the new talking point? The Brits conquered the world and imposed their "characteristic culture" on everyone else. They don't really get to complain lol | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
