He's rather right about London and many parts of the EU, Europe has been losing its cultural identity for years.

He's rather right about London and many parts of the EU, Europe has been losing its cultural identity for years.
- gameswithgo 6y agoCultural identity is never lost, but cultural identity is always changing.
- the-dude 6y agoSure, I will have a shot at describing some change. I am a blond male who has a bit of a feminine hairstyle, which imho matches my body type. In the last month I have been called cancer whore ( Dutch: kankerhoer ) twice, this is new for me. However, young females have been called cancer whore for years now, and it is the political correctness which supresses discussion about this. Because that would be racist.
- pjc50 6y agoStreet abuse is never OK regardless of who it's from, you don't have to pretend there's a racial conspiracy to stop you discussing it.
- the-dude 6y agoThanks for the kind words. I am not pretending there is a conspiracy at all. The PC is out in the open.
- shadowgovt 6y agoCan you give some concrete examples of someone being censured for criticizing people being called cancer-whore? It's not out of the realm of possibility, but that seems an extraordinary claim.
- the-dude 6y agoDo you actually have an opinion about people being called cancer whore out of the blue or are you just here trying to supress discussion about it?
- ceejayoz 6y agoBeing called "cancer whore" is bad. Claiming there's a big conspiracy of "political correctness which supresses discussion about this" is entirely unsupported thus far.
- ceejayoz 6y agoHow is "I got mistaken for a woman because of my hairstyle" a racist thing?
- the-dude 6y agoIt is about cancer whore, not the mistaken identity. This term is only used by immigrants towards native women.
- ceejayoz 6y agoWell, and Dutch-born white musicians, it'd seem. https://www.dagelijksestandaard.nl/2019/11/talentloze-tuigrapper-lil-kleine-scheldt-anouk-uit-voor-kankerhoer/ https://www.dagelijksestandaard.nl/2019/11/talentloze-tuigra...
- zozbot234 6y agoThe Dutch have a way of using disease names as a source of profanity. Cancer, cholera, TBC, smallpox, all of these can be swear words. Corona will probably make the list soon enough. (Compare the Quebeckers with their chalice and tabarnak.)
- 54351623 6y agoCultural identity? Sounds pretty Orwellian to me, rather like group think.
- hylaride 6y agoI don't think immigration/multiculturalism is the cause of that (though maybe it’s an accelerator). The world is homogenizing. Travel to any city in the developed world and all coffee shops, fashion, etc look the same.
