@guineapigsith699 What do I think? I’m not the least surprised. You start off with a gross and offensive generalisation – “the bad behaviour of previous waves [of refugees/immigrants]”.
Then move on to British exceptionalism – “The British are the most generous and accommodating people in the world, and we've proved that.” – please, we take some of the lowest numbers of refugees for our population and GDP, our benefit system (for all UK nationals, not just refugees) is one of the stingiest in Western Europe. You must get tumescent when Johnson brags we’re “World leading” in some area we are plainly not.
Then you provided a link to a video titled “Some exceedingly ungrateful refugees and immigrants to Britain”, which feeds into that quintessential British demand: that immigrants are welcome, sometimes, provided they’re permanently grateful and deferential and shut the fck up.
If you can’t see the benefits to this country of refugees / immigrants you must be either be wilfully ignorant or a bigot. I’m not going to be able to convince you in a YouTube comment.
People like you are obvious targets for the Tories’ culture war. They divide and rule the population by attacks on immigrants, people of colour, misogyny, homophobia, statues, environment etc, distracting people from their incompetence and corruption, enabling them to hold onto power, maintaining the status quo.
One last point, don’t be so smug about being British. What exactly does that mean? There were no indigenous people of these islands. We all came here at some point in the history of humans. Have you done a DNA test? I have ancestry from Celts, Scandinavia, France, Germany, Iberia and Italy. We originally evolved in Africa, in the Rift Valley. Get over yourself.
