That article spends a lot of words in trying to paint DHH's "native Brits" in a positive light but never mentions the following sentence from the article:

> A statistic as evident as day when you walk the streets of London now.

How is DHH able to determine nativity as defined by "being born and brought up" simply walking the streets of London if it has nothing to do with what you look like?

Plus he even links to a Wikipedia page about white vs non-white British population in London and uses the non-white number. If he wanted to, he could've referred to the foreign-born vs local-born numbers too but he did not.

I don't think DHH is racist, but he's so infected by the anti-woke mind virus that he's happy to parrot racist talking points to "own the libs". Whether that's any better, I'm not sure.

It seems like the author has infinite rope to extend to DHH. That's not being nice, that's being oblivious.

That isn't even the worst part. The real, actual problem is that this kind of hateful racist rhetoric is now being used throughout Europe and the Western world more generally (including, it seems, by Tommy Robinson himself) to support and promote the absolutely batshit insane idea of "remigration". Basically, this means that even if you've long been an actual British citizen, or a citizen of the Western country that supposedly enacts this policy, you can suddenly be considered "not native enough" as a matter of public policy and be subjected to severely punishing policies that reduce you to a sort of de-facto second-class status; with the underlying notion being that you should be somehow compelled to "go back" to "your" real country, whatever that is.

Of course it should go without saying that this is a regression to actual fascist-era thinking, it's outright unconstitutional in mostly any of the countries that would be considering this (but of course that doesn't stop populist politicians from bringing it up, because why would it?), and needless to say, any hint of this being considered would have quite detrimental effects on any kind of underlying social cohesion. It's not just about high-minded principles, there's very practical consequences when this kind of outrageous inflammatory rhetoric is allowed to gain ground without very on-point challenges being raised.

I'm in a weird boat in all this drama where I don't care what DHH thinks about the UK or the UK
