Daily Mail:The UK maternity units in which only 1 in 10 mothers is of white British o

I prefer Kenyan attitudes to British attitudes, if I could exchange my middle class British life for a middle class Kenyan life I would, these countries aren't all tiny babies covered in flies you know.

Let's be honest, who prefers to read the comments?

Just one in ten babies is born to a white British mother in some parts of the country, figures reveal.
The statistics - based on NHS monitoring of the ethnicity and nationality of patients - show a sharp contrast in the backgrounds of new mothers in urban and rural areas.
While white British mothers accounted for just 9.4 per cent of all births in one London health trust, the figure was 97.4 per cent of all births in Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust.
The birth statistics reflect how mothers described themselves, not the ethnicity of the fathers or the babies.
Across all of England's 150 NHS Trusts there were 652,638 deliveries last year, around six out of ten of them to women who called themselves white British.

I am seriously find this article disgusting and just plain racist. I am even more shocked at the comments that are green arrowed.
Words just fail me.
I am not surprised from the DailyMail, clearly this article is just inflammatory and disgusting.

Yes but I am black and british and was born here. As was my mother and my father. I read the article and it makes it seem as though not being "white british" is the same as being an immigrant, and that isn't true.

The notion that there ever was a british culture to preserve, value and sanctify is a silly one. Romanticism and nostalgia has taken hold and multiculturalism has become a scapegoat for people looking for something their god awful problems on.

Is this a hobby now for people? Looking at the Daily Mail and going "ZOMG RACISSSST NAZIII FASCISTS ZOMG they are saying in some places 1 in 10 mothers are white!!!!!!"

Where's the racism? And what do you actually mean when you say this article is 'racist'? Racist seems to be true of just about anything lefties want it to be true of these days...

So is the idea that it is racist to say that in some places only 1 in 10 mothers are "white British" or that it is not true that in some places only 1 in 10 mothers are "white British"?

What about the exact same story which had a full page in the Sunday Times yesterday - is that racist too? "Birth rates reveal ethnic fault lines"....

You don't think our country has a culture?

None of this talks about culture in the way the Daily Mail or the forrener haters talk about 'Being British'.

And where did you get that profound revelation from then? I suppose there might not be a British culture to preserve, but there might be an English culture or a Scottish culture or a Welsh culture....still more a working class English culture or an upper class English culture or a ways that are particular to Cornwall or ways that are particular to Yorkshire...


Out of curiosity... is it also true that, for example, the notion that people of Pakistani origin or Indian origin living in Britain have a culture to preserve, equally silly?

Also, someone in the comments is going on about how we shouldn't give money for people with children, because it's their choice to have children. Of course, let the children become ill and disadvantaged, so you can pay a little less tax...
