73% Of British Would be Unhappy If Britain Became A White Minority State

Considering the population is a meer 8 million its a pretty poor example, compared to a country like the UK of 61 million that has been white for the last few thousand years.

Emiratis are extremely xenophobic. Anyone who has ever been to the UAE can attest to that.

Why is it a poor example? Why are the relative populations relevant? Most of the UAE is inhospitable given that it is desert and most settlements are near the coast - so you would need to compare population density in areas deemed 'habitable' in both nations.

Also, surely the UAE (and the land area before the term 'UAE came about) has been 'Arab' for a similarly long (if not longer) time than the UK (and the land area of the UK before the term 'UK' came about) has been majority 'white'.

By the way, when people say they would be 'unhappy if Britain became a White Minority State' do they ACTUALLY mean 'ethnically British Minority State'. (since most White people aren't Brits).

(Here's the poll in full)

A YouGov/Migration watch poll has recently shown that 73% of British people conducted in their poll responded to being unhappy at the prospect of Britain becoming a white minority state by 2066.

The poll also showed that 81% of British support the immigration cap introduced by the conservatives.

Tbh I'm quite disgusted at this poll. Regardless of what you say about YouGov or Migration Watch it shows that there are clearly a lot of people do not like this. Britain has about 11-12% of ethnic minorities as it's population not to mention and I'm pretty most of those didn't respond to being unhappy. Which doesn't say much about everyone else in the poll.

It's clear that white Britain is still quite racist. This is supposed to be good thing for the country for christ sake!

I'm sure they are. But interestingly, I don't think any of the Emirati Sheikhs (heads of states) have advocated complete deportations of the foreign European, Arab, South Asian, African and Oriental populations living in their midst.

What about Emiratis? They are a minority in their own country - and by the looks of things, they don't seem to be throwing up too much of a fuss at all!

Because if they did their country would fall apart as its built on foreign labour

Surely it would depend how it happened? Obviously if it was through genocide this would be bad, but what about through migrations and interbreeding?

Also, there are very many different kinds of 'black' people, just like there are very many different kinds of 'white' people? Would you not be particularly bothered then, if a different ethnic group that still came under the 'black' label became the majority ethnic group in your country whilst the previously dominant ethnic group became a minority?

Is it about ethnicity, or racial grouping?

I'm sure The Japanese, Chinese, Nigerians, Arabs, Koreans, and Hispanics would also be unhappy if they became the minority race in their countries.

It's not racist. It's how the human race works.

Sorry, but how can you blame people for being anti-immigration after the issues it has caused in the past decade? You're deluded if you expect public opinion to be against some sort of immigration cap.

And, it's only natural that people would dislike the notion of their race becoming a minority. Do you honestly believe the people of Nigeria or Pakistan would vote in favour of becoming a minority to white people?

I personally don't have that much of a problem with the ethnic make-up of Britain, so long as that's all it is - skin colour. If this increase in ethnic minorities comes with religious and cultural segregation and conflict, then I am wholly against it.

In summary, you're happy to throw around the 'racist' card without considering the underlying factors in this situation. Your comments are inane and ignorant.

True. For most people though, economic concerns outweight concerns over ethnicity. I doubt they care about their minority status since they are often very rich. Do you not think the same would be true in certain enclaves in Britain?

For example, British people living in certain streets in Belgravia may be in a minority.
