Comments by "A T" (@AT-bq1kg) on "Lotuseaters Dot Com" channel.
Because "English" is not an ethnicity. There is no such a thing as an "English" person except in your mind. The way the nation state works is you obtain citizenship through either descent or being born in a county or applying for citizenship after being a resident in a county for a certain amount of time. How you are carving up the cake is irrelevant and just your personal beliefs that have nothing to do with reality

@6chhelipilot 😂 exactly. Some of these people commenting have an idea of how things should be and then expect reality to conform. They don't understand that the way they categorise "natives" is just arbitrary and their own personal bias.

And you wonder why politicians don't listen to you 😂

@ragnarironspear1791 Your are conflating two totally different things. You think that somehow "British" means white or European white. It's not. Britain is a state and the criteria for being British is that you are either born in Britain, claim citizenship by descent or apply for citizenship via permanent residency in the UK after an established period of time. All this stuff about being white is just your interpretation. Britain has never been and never will be an exclusively white state. Yes it just so happened that there were more white people than black or brown people in Britain in the past but that doesn't define what the state is, never has and never will.

@ragnarironspear1791 You need to move with the times. There is absolutely no way that the world is going to revert back to ethnicity being interpreted as a dominant characteristic of a state. Language yes, the least a person can do it they want to live in the UK is learning the language and customs. But if you think ethnicity is going to make a comeback you need your head testing.

@14Anon2 It's actually the OP who is conflating British with white or white European and "English". He confuses all of these different things leaving him confused as to why the rest of the world isn't conforming to his beliefs.

@Greenielid English isn't an ethnicity. "White" is an ethnicity. If you're not educated you won't understand these things and will have to resort to your own personal idiosyncratic or socially conditioned ideas about reality. There is no such a thing as "ethnic English"

@14Anon2 Kemi Baddenoch was raised in the United States and then was educated in the UK from the age of 16.

@14Anon2 Show me where it is officially accepted that "English" is a distinct ethnicity. You can't because it doesn't exist. It's not recognised as an ethnicity anywhere in the world. It only exists in your mind.

@Greenielid There is no English ethnicity. Produce one document that talks about English ethnicity. White British yes, but not English. It never has been an ethnicity and never will be

@14Anon2 The point is British White ethnicity cannot dominate a country that is made up of citizens from diverse ethnicities and race. That's called white supremacy and is never going to come back to the UK no matter how much you think it should. Everyone who is a British citizen should have the opportunity to represent the British people. It's called equal opportunities. All of these things are British values. I just think some people want to live in the past and pretend we haven't moved on from white supremacy

@Greenielid Have you ever ticked a box for "white English"? No, you have not because it doesn't exist. White British is the ethnicity you're referring to.

@14Anon2 English ethnicity is not a recognised category. You are thinking of white British. But it doesn't matter. Whit British ethnicity should never dominate the UK
1
@14Anon2 No it isn't. It's not recognised anywhere as an ethnicity. British is. But not English. But the point is that there is no way we should allow one ethnic group to dominate an ethically mixed society
1
@ragnarironspear1791 You're advocating for white supremacy without realising it our understanding what that means for one ethnicity to dominate a country made up of different ethnic groups. You can't have one ethnic group dominating a country of mixed ethnicities. That is not democracy
1
@14Anon2 The point is that only white English ethnicity (if you believe there really is such a thing) cannot and should not dominate British society. Allowing only people who identify as "white English" into office is not a democracy. It's called white supremacy. We have a country made up massively diverse groups of people but there are a small group of very disgruntled people who still think the country belongs to them, whereas it never did. They believe that British culture and British identity, or British citizenship revolves around "white English ethnicity". Britain is a multicultural society and that should be reflected in government.

@LenaK-i8r You could be in it if you educate yourself. Learn to understand what's actually going on
