Do non-white Brits feel like guests in Britain?

Since you were born in Britain anyway, there is no doubt that you are British. Those people who want to discriminate are in the vast minority, and you cannot generalize and make it seem like the whole country does not want you. There are many people who get discriminated against on other grounds, whether it is gender, religion, sexual orientation, etc., so you are not the only one facing discrimination. If you want to stop racism, sitting and complaining about it is not the solution.

Genuinely heartbreaking to read this. I'm white but I am proud of our multi-ethnic culture. I mean, Britain's entire history can be summed up by the word "immigration".

May I ask what makes you feel this way? Who makes you purposely feel like you don't belong? What made you "clock on" to the idea you're not equal?

sad to hear that

I regularly travel across the world. Dubai, California, Hong Kong, Toronto you name it. All very multi cutural places absolutely thriving like no tomorrow.

The free movement of people is essential for prosperity.

Anyone who disagrees with this basic logic will fail. Go to some of the most racist parts of this country and see for yourself.

Multicultural society is a thriving one.

As much as many would like this to be true, it is simply not true in general. There are people in Britain who's ancestors have lived on the island for thousands of years.

The huge immigration over the past 50 years is completely unprecedented actually.

Are you broken? Did I say I was the only one? I even asked if anyone else felt the same (thread title..duh)..its not a complaint its a fact. Your logic is seriously flawed how did I imply I was looking for a solution?

Born and raised here, still feel like Im in someone else's house tbh, but thats down to being purposely made to feel that way, I didnt notice it as a kid, I felt proud to be British and thought I was equal, but in my adult life I clocked on.

Yeah I do. Not accepted by British people or by country of origin. It's a sad situation really but just have to hope that we're not deported by the far right as we'll have nowhere to go.

Have any immigrants contemplated that you may be to blame for such feelings.

Muslims aside (media attention means negative perception) a lot of other immigrants choose to hang with their own kind or care about their foreign heritage. How can you complain if your not making the effort to fit in by hanging about with white people and displaying allegiance to the UK.

Obviously in other cases it may genuinely be racism which is still present to some degree but the above are just things I've noticed.

Interesting you say that, as the main reasons immigrants remain with "their own kind" is due to the native population excluding and separating from them.

I think you need to pick up a history book. It'll tell you why you have certain immigrants clinging to one area over others. And the reception the native population dished out to the first waves of mass immigration from the late 1940s/early 1950s.

Do they exclude them though or do they just expect the outsider to be the one who should approach them.

I think Eastern Europeans are more accepted and believe if it were a choice to get rid ethnic Brits or Eastern Europeans, ethnic Brits would lose the vote.


Also a quote from UKIP leader N.Farge

"Long live the Whites of Europe, long live our identity, our ethnicity, our race… our blue sky, like the eyes of our women. Blue, in a people who want to stay white."

Absolutely no economic theory behind this statement. Cant see Japan missing out on much due to its lack of diversity for instance.

And youve conflated cause and correlation. Successful countries/regions attract migrants generally. People wouldnt have come to the UK if it wasn't already a fantastic place to live...

I was never offering a solution. I was simply rebutting the few points you made (amid the numerous ad hominem attacks). When I said that you weren't the only one facing discrimination, what I was saying is that since there is also discrimination based in gender, there is a large amount of people who may be discriminated against for let's say, being a female. You have not explained how tour opinion: "non-white Brits feel like guests" is a fact, and based on your previous comments, it appears as if you are complaining about it. That's why I said it was a complaint. Never mind that, though. You seem to have a lot of negativity in you, and for that I am quite concerned. Perhaps that's because you are facing so much discrimination, which I hope will decrease. When you posed your question: "Do non-white Brits feel like guests in Britain," I replied with no. It seems that you were not able to accept an answer than goes against your opinion. If that's the case, there was no point in asking the question in the first place. Anyways, I wish you good luck and hopefully you can live happily in Britain.

Actually, you would be able to go to any country in Western Europe (even Norway and Switzerland, which aren't part of the Schengen area) with your EU passport.
