Do non-white Brits feel like guests in Britain?

That's how you feel but I've seen and heard attitudes to the contrary. You're really talking about racism, not immigration if you're saying Brits prefer white immigrants to non-whites whose parents even were born here. Repeating or should I say adopting divisive terms like 'guest' also doesn't help your cause. How can you be a guest somewhere you lived your whole life or belong to somewhere you've never been before? Yes, people make you feel unwelcome but your attitude is within your control so ultimately you decide whether you belong or not.

So I decide how people treat me? So youre saying I can control the mindset of British people... Ok lad back to smoking your drugs. You can feel unwelcome in your own house if you have issues with your family, yet still have nowhere to go. Apply that example to this topic.. I am trying to dumb it down for you.

I clearly meant methaporically...

You've chosen the NUMBER 1 PRIME EXAMPLE which you shouldn't of, Japan has failed due to a lack of immigration, its downfall was due to an increasing age of its population and lack of tax revenues from its working population which diminished since it closed it's doors.

Where's this pissy, aggressive attitude coming from? Was this secretly a circle jerk thread for people who shared your (obviously) sensitive feelings? If you just want validation then don't pretend you want to hear other people's opinions.

Back to the point. I used the word GUEST specifically. Being unwelcome does not equate to being a guest, is my point. You can't control how people treat you but you can reconcile those feelings as to how they will shape who you are and how you deal with problems. Plenty of people who have experienced the same problem don't feel that way so actually it is down to individual response/ self esteem/ attitudes whether people feel at ease in who they are.

I really just have to laugh at how thick you are by "guest" I meant not being accepted by the "host" (so to speak) it was used as a euphemism which clearly people understood (except you). And I didnt know posting a topic on TSR was the equivalent of launching a civil rights movement as you seem to think this is extreme.

If you don't mind me asking what makes you want to leave?

tfw someone said to me 'go back to india you paki'

This has all the traits of a Ponzi scheme, and the Japanese are smart enough to see the long term consequences.

Japan is ageing, but the place isn't getting any poorer btw. Productivity gains can 100% negate the effects of an ageing populace

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.

Most of the time, I love being in this country. I don't for a second take for granted the freedom we have. But at times, I've been made to feel as if I'm still foreign. The truth of the matter is, people see ethnicity first, nationality second (metaphorically- I realise as I typed that, there is a literal truth to that). When you own friends don't consider you to be a 'proper Brit', it's quite deflating. At the same time, I don't feel I belong anywhere else. The UK is all I've known.

If I had a quid for every time I encountered racists Id be a millionaire. I remember going on a lads weekend to liverpool few years back, we had to leave early and head home due to racial tensions etc, one of my friends was glassed, I was punched etc and we were literally sat having a drink, this is just one example. Maybe Ive just had it tough but I do think, non-white brits as a whole aren't considered British by the mass public.

Yeah man that's the struggle. We've missed out on our original heritage and are not accepted as part of the British one. The best we can hope for is just living here in accepted for the rest of our days, if we get sent back then we're ****ed.

I'd like to ask you something though. Rightly or wrongly I'm going to assume you are of Pakistani/Indian/African descent.

Do you think that a Pakistani for example is going to ever consider a white person who was born in Pakistan and spent a few years there as Pakistani? I highly highly doubt it. Same goes for Indians and Africans.

That's why for me personally I wouldn't say you are or are not British. I'm just indifferent because I absolutely do not trust that it would be the same the other way around - I think it would be even worse the other way around.
