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

Storm in a tea cup.

How come no Emiratis have revolted against the situation? How come no foreigners' properties have been torched? How come influential men such as Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Rashid Al-Makhtoum have not enforced mass deportations of foreigners? Maybe their newfound prosperity leads them to not care about the demographic shifts?

Well it would be like having a caucasian majority in Egypt or Ghana or something. It would result in the erosion of native traditions and racial cultures in those countries if such demographic changes were to occur. So yes i would be upset to see a white minority in England as i wouldn't be able to help but think that just maybe our English heritage had been eroded. Racial discrimination doesn't come into it more just interest in preservation of national identity.

Don't ever use the Middle East as an example of tolerance.

.... besides in the UAE, the mentality goes like this: White people (I.E. People with Western Passports) ---> Natives ---> Arabs ----------------------------------------------------------> "Scum of the earth" (Asian slaves.) Last time I went to Oman, I heard that if you hit a camel with your car, you get more in trouble than if you hit a worker.

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.

You're missing the, critical, part that no immigrants have citizenships in the UAE. Every and all imimigrants there are there on temporary contracts and can be deported at a moment's notice. Furthermore, no immigrants are there on a permanent basis.

Wonder what the TSR Communist Society has to say about this.

Successive governments have all but destroyed national pride and identity, branding anyone who DARES to show any sense of national pride racist

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.

The Emiratis are a unique case.

The country barely has a cultural identity separate of Arabian culture besides being a millionaire's playground.

They don't mind the other races because they're all rich and contribute enormously to the economy. These types of immigrants of other races probably don't seek permanent residence anyway; they're businesspeople, they travel. If they are not of a significantly high income, they are cheap labour workers who are also highly beneficial to the economy provided they are not too high in number. Are Emiratis not Arabian anyway? Saudi Arabia is right next door, a country which to my understanding has an awful lot of xenophobia, ironically enough.

In practise you can be there on a semi-permanent basis if you have an indefinite contract with the company you work for and the job location in is in the UAE. People can be stationed there for 30+ years until they retire (when it gets quite difficult to stay).

Regardless, foreigners still easily outnumber Emiratis (even though they have significantly fewer rights than Emiratis). So Emiratis are still a small minority in their own country. When an Emirati goes out he or she will still see and be aware that he/she is in the minority in his/her own country.

We are after all comparing this to British people being unhappy about British-born ethnically non-British people becoming a majority in Britain over the next century. That transition has been made far quicker in the UAE than will happen in the UK.

Nevertheless the situations are in no way comparable. The immigrants are not part of the UAE. They are just passing elements. Semi-permanent contracts or not, foreigners can be booted with a moment's notice. Emiratis have 100% of the political power, and that's that.

Britain is not in any way similar.

Britain and the UAE cannot be compared.

The immigrants to the UAE are resident in the land area of the UAE in the same way as the immigrants to Britain are residentin the land area of Britain. If the UK government wanted to, it could rescind a visa to a foreign national very quickly and commence with deportation proceedings, similarly to in the UAE. I'm not sure what rights of appeal a foreigner in the UAE has though (compared to in the UK).

100% of seats in the UK Parliament are held by British citizens. Foreigners in the UK have no voting rights in general elections unless they have been awarded with the indefinite leave to remain. The vast majority of foreigners will not have this.
