In her telling, racism and xenophobia seem not themselves objectively bad things that must be combatted, but a natural outcome that occurs when too many rights are given to immigrants and asylum seekers.

“The discrimination and the deprivation… lies not with the immigrant population but with those among whom they have come.”

That smug, self-satisfied, “I know better than you” smirk on Malik’s face on her by-line photo tells you all you need to know.
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion, a.k.a. tradeoffs. Constantly wipe people’s noses in diversity; vastly privilege the diverse at the expense of the indigenous, and what do you think the equal and opposite reaction might be? Has something similar ever happened before, anywhere in the world, d’you think? Any chance we might learn from it?
More literate than but just as stupid as Murphy.
Mahmood’s story is seductive, because it allows us to believe that the problem is not a bigger one about a country where dark nativism lurks unchecked,
Damn those white males that blew up an Ariana Grande concert or blew themselves up on the tube on 7/7, or went on the rampage on London Bridge or chopped up little girls in Southport, or operated the grooming gangs across those country. Yes – that’s right – God forbid that ‘dark nativism’ should take root.
and where scarcity and inequality are endemic,
So we need to bring in more when by your own admission resources are scarce?
but rather about resentment and racism being naturally triggered by too many foreign bodies that need feeding, watering and housing.
Hold on – isn’t colonialism a bad thing? Are you saying we need another General Gordon to come back and take over in Khartoum? Is your contention that the Africans are incapable of feeding themselves? Isn’t that ‘institutional racism’ in action?
“Dark nativism”? Are you still allowed to say that, or does it make people, er, restless?
I’m not permitted freedom of speech on a whole raft of topics however Nesrine has ‘carte blanche’ to spout whatever calumnies she wishes about the inadequacies of the society where she has sought refuge. You would think she would be concentrating on her home country where every story I read about highlights 15 million at risk of death, but no – far more important to concentrate on Reform UK. No doubt the ‘Bullshit warlord’ will be coming along to highlight how IHHO Farage’s alleged speech crimes at Dulwich make him unfit for office.
Angry Donald is coming for them:

With pressure from “below” (fuming electorates) and from “above” (big daddy tariff) the jig may finally be up for the treasonous left.
They’ll just bury their heads in the sand and do the bear minimum for the next 3 years in the expectation that someone like Newsom is the next POTUS.
Mahmood says “unfortunately, I am the one who is regularly called a ‘fucking Paki’
We keep hearing this same story from other Pakistanis too. Apparently the worst hatred they ever experienced is being called the shortened form of their country of origin. Poor dears.
Meanwhile, white people have been targets of a more visceral form of hate
A phobia is an irrational fear of something. Being unhappy with changes to your country that are making things worse is neither irrational nor an expression of fear. Somehow the lefties decided that attaching “phobia” to words (that aren’t actually appropriate descriptors in the first place) is all that is needed to win an argument.
I still find it remarkable how often people who write things for a living are extremely sloppy with words.
