So what if we all end up mixed race? What's the big deal?

I don't know if it's quite as easy as suddenly ending up mixed race. There would have to be choices made along the way.
For instance, do immigrant populations in the UK largely mix with the indigenous UK population? In some cases yes. In other cases there are whole communities not mixing at all - in fact I believe these to far outnumber the people who do genuinely make an effort to mix.
Perhaps I'm wrong but it seems that way to me.
I'm quite a mixture myself, one has to suspect that many in Britain are whether they value it/ know it or not. However, no matter what I consider myself English, even though that does mean I am constantly berated in Ireland. I will support Ireland in general but not against England.

hmm... this is pretty textbook white supremacy. White supremacists fear their identity is under attack. They have a paranoid sense of annihilation which they look to blame some minority group for.

This is very different to identity politics. Identity politics is about minority groups wanting to live with dignity - it's not about the preservation of their identity, it's about trying to overcome the hatred they endure because of their identity.

Everything you wrote here is a croc of crap. White supremacy is an anti white term.

Identity politics for non whites but when it's whites you describe it as 'white supremacy'.

The word supremacist relates to superiority. It has nothing to do with anything else.
The term White supremacist could only accurately be used to describe a very small number of Nazi type fanatics who believe that they are superior to others by some god given right or in some other non measurable way.

The term is one of many used by politically motivated organizations to imply a certain stereotype along with words like Islamophobia, Little Englander Gammon etc.

Do you seriously believe that the UN do not understand these things better than you?

Like long range weather forecasts they have got a great deal better in recent times.

Immigrant birth rates are higher now but will reduce and then match our current levels over a relatively short time. There is plenty of past experiences to indicate that is a very confident prediction. It's also common sense.

Firstly, you don't know who I am and more importantly, the science of predicting population growth is limited by many variables.
To be honest, we are still talking about a projection of around 11 billion by 2011 based on UN estimates with the population still climbing beyond that. Even if we do not reach the higher end of the possible growth rate ie 15 to 20 billion, it is still an enormous increase before population might level out.
What is more significant for Europe is our declining population set against the huge increases in Asian and African population. Whatever you say, that can only mean the absorption of the northern European race and a big fall in living standards for Westerners unless we adopt a more isolationist policy.

I really don't care if you accept that or not.

That's not what it said at all. The forecast was for a marked slow down between 2050 and 2100 with it peaking then and stabilising. No responsible forecast has ever indicated a growth rate that would take us towards 20 billion. The current level is 7.7 billion. The forecast is 9.7 by 2050 and around 11 billion by 2100. These are big numbers, but manageable with planning and the use of technology and science. There is just no need to panic.

The movement of people is an entirely separate subject. It is though completely wrong to assume that just because the genetic make up of our fellow citizens will continue to change, just as it always has, that means there is some kind of threat to us by way of decreased living standards. Everyone wants high living standards, including any new arrivals, and it's them whose standards will be raised and not ours diminished. We just need to make sure that new arrivals are welcomed and integrated, just as we have done with previous waves.

Challenges are there to be faced and overcome. They are not overcome by sitting at a keyboard complaining about how awful things are going to be. We will only be defeated if we surrender our well earned reputation for tolerance, good humour and kindness. Other nations respect that and we should be flattered when people want to join us. Make them welcome and train them to be like us and before long even people like you will wonder what all the fuss was about.

So diversity is good provided everyone is the same.

Direct all the immigration into Cornwall.

Watch the house prices dive and all those hypocrites move out.

That makes no sense!

The diversity of people tends to mitigate over generations. Groups may retain some elements of their original cultural identities when celebrating special occasions but assume much of the mainstream at other times.

By the way, the Cornish are a great example of how to successfully manage immigration.

Not only do they see a huge influx of temporary immigrants from all over the world at this time of year, (I have 2 Australians staying with me right now) but they have welcomed hundreds of thousands of English people like me with open arms and friendship to come and live here. They are still Cornish, and have many local customs, and support Wales in Rugby games, but there's no reluctance at all to see us all here. The house prices are higher here because of the immigrants.

I suspect therefore it isn't immigration which bothers so many posting here. It's a certain type of immigrant.

You’re the person who said we need to train them to be like us. If they’re like us they’re not very diverse are they?

At the 2011 census the demographics of Cornwall was shown to be 95.7% white.

This guy speaks the biggest load of BS I've ever witnessed.

All immigration needs to be directed into Cornwall.....not the filtered visitors to B&Bs.

Watch the house prices dive and all the hypocrites move out.

Build the new housing and all the new infrastructure required for all the new immigrants coming in Cornwall.....let those who speak of 'challenges' for others be the people who deal with those 'challenges'.

A principle isn't a principle until it costs you.
