10% of 'British' children are now mixed race

It was Northern European.

Gary Bushell and Margaret Thatcher's daughter were involved. It is on youtube if you so care to search for it.

forced to nurture the death of their own bloodline. We are merely the temporary occupants of our genes, thousands of years of our ancestors lived, loved, struggled and died to pass that genetic inheritance on to us.

I was talking to my mum about this the other day as a lot of my wider family (who I don't talk to) are very racist. As far as I understand the world has developed by people from one area/country discovering or moving to another area or country. My name, for example is linked to the USA and New Zealand so I would imagine some of my ancestors came from those areas. In that sense the whole world is mixed race, that's how the human race and civilisation develops-we probably all have skills and strengths in different areas which are just developed more the more we come together. People are only noticing mixed race people more now because maybe Asians and black people are in relationships with white people more than ever before, it didn't use to be acceptable to be with someone outside your race or colour. It's happened since time began!!

**** off OP

To satisfy your interest, yes I am actually mixed race - half English and half Irish - but I'm white, so you probably wouldn't care.

Are you actually joking?

Yes, being half North European and half North European is really mixed race..

By that logic slavery where blacks own whites is acceptable because we did it to them?

Way to miss the point. There are moral issues i.e. slavery vs fear of what's different i.e. Britain becoming more mixed

Will whites (when they are the minority) receive free educations like people of clear native american ancestry do today? Is that fair?

Why wouldn't they? I hardly doubt that as soon as the percentage of mixed/coloured people in Britain goes over 50% they're all suddenly going to turn insanely racist and deny whites education etc just because they are white.

According to who?

According to me, fool. Is it absolutely necessary to put "in my opinion" before/after everything I put that's an opinion? Because if you want to take opinion as fact then you go right ahead and do it, but that will be because of your own idiocy.

k.

What an absolutely amazing, insightful, succinct point you have there.
Go back to texting your facebook GF.


Not a white supremacist. Just a realist that recognises the danger of a rapidly ethnic-changing population.

10% is rapid considering the amount of immigrants and the amount of years it's been happening?
And what dangers would these be?

I see that two people of the same ethnicity being together offends you. Sorry to hear that.

Yes, because my parents being together affects me grievously
As is clearly obvious, what pisses me off is people who can't look past race/ethnicity and who think that being one arbitrarily makes one superior.
Misunderstanding isn't a form of argument and is immensly childish. Please do grow up before replying.

Kthxbi

It's only a matter of degree. Racial deliniation is basically arbitrary.

Chicken Burger?

I have Irish, American, Welsh, English, French & German in me yet I'm considered White British. Nobody is 'pure' WB.

No, it really isn't.

I would say it is. Wait perhaps 5 decades, give or take a few, and today's minorities will no longer be regarded as tomorrow's.

Who cares about the future? Right now, 2011, it is erroneous to say that Racial identities are arbitrary.. they're not at all.

No, it really isn't.

No, it really isn't.

... Yes it really is?

I did not say that racial identities were arbitrary. I said racial delineation is arbitrary. Which it is. There are no objective sharp biological cut offs between "races".

The central thesis of IQ and the Wealth of Nations is that the average IQ of a nation correlates with its GDP. Below is a scatter plot with Lynn and Vanhanen's calculated IQ values (without estimates) and GDP data. There is a clear correlation between ethnicity/nationality and IQ, and between IQ and GDP. Is Hong Kong full of skyscrapers? Is Africa full of tin huts?

To use the dog analogy: You cross two closely-related breeds like Bernese Mountain Dogs and Newfoundlanders and you get a result that is higher than the previous, by virtue of hybrid vigour. You cross a Bernese Mountain Dog with a Poodle and you won't get such balanced results. You'll still technically have hybrid vigour to some extent but you're not going to get balanced traits by virtue of the distance of the gene pools.

Back on the human scale, there should be a natural defense mechanism within us both to not go too close and not go too far. Marrying someone from the same village was hardly commonplace even several centuries ago, but from a different village in the same region was the common arrangement. Within the middle-classes it was also commonplace to extend this to the neighbouring region.

When choosing a suitable partner, because there are also cultural/ethnic implications, for English people the Protestant Germanic bracket (English, Dutch, Skandanavia, Germany etc) is a good one to go by. If you are Germanic, you should find you are instinctively attracted to people in the Protestant Germanic bracket anyway.
