It’s pretty galling to see someone who’s never lived in London talk mad shit about it. London is my home, not DHH’s. He knows fuck all, which is why he repeats tired, overcooked falsehoods.
What he’s saying is that he only considers white British to be legitimately British. He would look at former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and current Mayor Sadiq Khan and dismiss them as insufficiently British. Too much melanin I guess.
He’s even excluded white people from elsewhere who were born in Britain if they have a non-British ancestor. So according to DHH and his ilk Nigel Farage’s children wouldn’t be counted as white British despite having white mothers (Irish and German), being born to a British father in Britain and living all their lives in Britain.
What the fuck is the point of dividing people like this? “Just an opinion” my ass. DHH and people like him are dehumanising my fellow Londoners.

- testdelacc1 1y agoI did respond to one of his falsehoods, you must have missed it in your hurry to post this pithy putdown. DHH and his gang of “White Replacement” reptiles overstate the facts by saying 40% of London is white British. Nigel Farage is a leader of a British far right party who exclusively has children with foreign women. His children are as white as he is, British citizens who’ve lived all their lives in Britain. To any reasonable person, even someone who struggles to mingle with non-white people like DHH, Farage’s children would be white British. But the stats would count them as “white - Other”, which is another 20% of London. They twist the stats to suit their narrative.
- typpilol 1y agoSo how many percent are white British?
- testdelacc1 1y agoDepends. Are Farage’s children White British?
- NelsonMinar 1y agoIt sure sounds like simple white supremacy
- izacus 1y agoI actually accidentally walked into that protest while doing touristy stuff in London that weekend (yeah, great weekend to choose) and first it looked weird having all those people waving British and English flags walking around.... and then I noticed many wore shirts with "Make Britain White Again" (sic) slogans and unironically wearing "Make Britain Great Again" hats. Whatever that thing was, it was about as peaceful as "Truth Rallies" Milošević organized before the whole 1990s war in Balkans went down. DHH seems outright delusional in that post.
- LightBug1 1y agoIt's just another example of someone straying outside of their sphere(s) of expertise ... there are some excellent examples to the contrary, but fuck you money tends to tempt those with weak characters into these situations. Incredibly sad to watch. He literally has no idea what he's talking about.
- shadowgovt 1y agoAs a visitor, London was absolutely lovely. I felt hands-down safer on its streets than the streets of my home city, for what it's worth. Plus, hell of a good ramen shop near the West End.

- hitekker 1y agoMy girlfriend witnessed a robbery in London's city center ~2 weeks ago, in the second day of our visit. After that, we saw a homeless guy pooping on a wall; some of them screaming at others. I didn't feel like I was personally in danger, but I'm also a guy who's lived next to American slums.
- jmcgough 1y agoBasically every Western major city is becoming like this.
- charlezharper 1y agoI almost had my MacBook stolen out of my backpack from me in London (Shoreditch) a few years in broad daylight - by a black person that didn't even speak English during the attempted robbery. I'm from Africa so I'm born with the instincts that luckily prevented me from losing anything or getting hurt. I was just visiting the UK for 3 weeks, but that gave me a perspective how bad immigration laws can turn it into something out of control. Why does a place like Singapore, where 48% of its workforce are immigrants / expats - not have this problem. It remains the safest place on Earth.

- zahlman 1y ago> He’s even excluded white people from elsewhere who were born in Britain if they have a non-British ancestor. This contradicts your supposition of racism rather than enhancing it.
