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

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!

This is a different scenario. The ethnic groups that comprise the largest groups in the UAE are not as dissimilar culturally, religiously and physically in comparison to the ethnic groups that will apparently be fighting for majority status in a few decades in the UK. Just look at the religious demographics of the UAE - Islam commands a large majority, and ethnicity is pretty much irrelevant when it comes to the bonds between Muslims.

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.

One question:

What about Emiratis?

But of course, like many other Nigerians, I will have a problem if Ghanaians, for example, became the dominant group.

Difference: Immigrants are in the UAE on a temporary, contractual basis. You can be deported at the drop of a hat.

That is completely different to the UK where passports and benefits are thrown at immigrants.

That's because most immigrants there are 'high flying' business people that have made that area one of the most affluent in the world. You may well argue that Britain needs immigrants, but let's face it - these immigrants bring with them their mops and cleaning products to wipe toilets, not qualifications and business.

Moreover, we have a far longer and glorious history than Emiratis, and immigrants disregard it and erode it over time.

Most Indians tend to be Hindu.
Most Pakistanis and Indonesians tend to be Muslim.
Most Philippinos and Europeans tend to be Christian.

Speak for yourself.

I wouldn't care, I always put in terms of football. I wouldn't care if most of the players in the Nigerian team were white. As long as they call themselves Nigerian and are the best who cares.

But If I imagine black people becoming a minority in Nigeria, I wouldn't care that much. The only thing is that white people can't just live in a non-white country, they have to try and run it. Just saying.

Wrong, I'm pretty sure an expatriate is only eligible to apply for British citizenship (which must be held in order to get a UK passport) after at least 5 (likely to be changed to 7) continuous years of law-abiding residence within the UK.

why is it that england, and most of the developed european countries allow in so many foreigners? it's not about little groups of people immigrating, it is mass immigration that has changed the makeup of this country only within a few years. how is that even justifiable or even fair on the native british population?

and then on the other hand you have japan which is still almost 100% japanese. why is this? why is europe so different to japan that we let in so many immigrants, but japan is so against it?

foreigners in their country are not citizens or even planning on being there permanently.

Your point being? Are you trying to guess the religious demographics of the UAE by the ethnicity numbers, without looking at the recorded religious demographics - where Islam is commands a strong majority?



That doesn't appear to be much of an issue in the UAE.

Yeah, you're right, but it's not English people, it's American people. The accents put on are so funny. It's quite sad really, the fact the I know yoruba, when my cousins who live in Nigeria don't .
