neither the government nor the opposition have been willing to draw red lines, to argue against the conflation of whiteness with Britishness
Blackness is certainly conflated with Africanness as more than one country has been pointing out. As the American education system goes on, tryong to point out that Cleopatra must have been black because she was African….
The BBC is doing it for them in their dramas….
I have long admired the student body at a high school who chose, as the African American of the year among their members, a white South African immigrant.
conflation of whiteness with Britishness: I’ll settle for that as long as we allow for a generous dash of Hong Kongers and curry-wallahs, and so forth. It’s the numbers and the quality that count.
Unfortunately for Mr Bush, British people – the English, Scots, Welsh, Cornish and Irish – are all Europeans and Europeans are White.
It’s certainly possible to hold British citizenship if you’re non-White, just as it’s possible for a man to hold a piece of paper that says he’s a woman. You still ain’t a woman though…
We are white, numbnuts.
THE YEAR IS 2035
Labour promises to “fix immigration” again.
Thanks Steve. Alas the local library doesn’t seem to have a copy though!!
