I haven’t seen anyone credible mentioning anything about “non-whites”. That would definitely be grounds for concern, but so far it has turned out to be a strawman in these discussions.
- jakelazaroff 1y agoAs I showed in the article, there's literally no other possible good faith interpretation of his "about a third native Brits" figure.
- angoragoats 1y agoIt’s strange how when we point out that DHH is literally pointing to specific ethnicities when he uses the term “native Brit,” the people coming to his defense like @periodjet mysteriously stop responding.
- periodjet 1y agoYou’re reading too much into my temporary absence. ;) I think you both are engaging in an extremely uncharitable reading of DHH’s “native Brit” phrase. Hopefully he will clarify more what he means in the future so that we won’t have to guess. In my opinion, though, he is referring to culture and not engaging in some kind of genetics-based argument as you seem to be implying. We’ll see!
- angoragoats 1y agoHow can linking the phrase “native Brit” directly to a Wikipedia article about ethnicity be interpreted as anything other than having to do with genetics?
- angoragoats 1y agoAlso, to respond more directly to one thing you said: > Hopefully he will clarify more what he means in the future so that we won’t have to guess No one’s guessing here other than you. DHH has been quite clear in what he’s referring to, and if you don’t see that you either haven’t been reading the responses carefully from me and others, or you are being willfully ignorant.
- periodjet 1y agoNo, he hasn’t. You’re just engaging in motivated reasoning and you haven’t realized it. You also haven’t realized that you’re part of a tiny minority with fringe beliefs, so don’t be so ruffled when you receive level-headed pushback. Goodbye.
- angoragoats 1y agoBye. Thanks for not responding to any of my questions, and instead only responding to the posts where I call you out for seemingly defending a self-admitted racist. I sincerely hope that in the future you can fix your heart. Edit: just saw the comment in your profile about wanting karma <= 0. Nice trolling! I’ll keep the rest of this post up to remind future me not to engage with those who aren’t serious.

- angoragoats 1y agoOh yes you’re spot on, definitely feeling the sting from you, an apparent racist sympathizer, attempting to assess my mental state. If you’re feeling charitable though, it’d help my horribly anguished mental state if you actually read the substantive comments/questions I and others have posted and respond to them.
- archagon 1y agoUnfortunately, I didn't save the receipts myself, but this matches what I've seen float by on social media: https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/total-remigration-anti-migrant-narratives-targeting-the-uk/ https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/total-remigrati... "Britain for whites" and "total remigration" seem to be major throughlines for this movement.
