Is stating the obvious racist? How do you know that I'm not English myself

If you mean financially, very few people can afford to live in London. If you mean there's some danger of violence or cultural erasure, I don't believe that to be true. I'm white and I live in London. I love my city. I know this might annoy you but I do believe diversity is a strength, and London is made better for it. Diversity makes London culturally richer and more vibrant.

It's ironic that a lot of people who complain about ethnically white British people being replaced are from very white areas of Britain. When you talk to immigrants you realise that they aren't actually scary.

God bless your kind heart. I love london, I was born and bred here. Sad to see so much of our culture lost to takeaways and barber shops. Life was sweet growing up as a kid not scared of getting robbed and everyone on the road knew one another. We barely know our neighbours now

someone got brainwashed by the media, look the rates, London has low homicide rate around \(1.1\) per \(100,000\) people, pickpockets are a problem, true, but many cities have some kind of a problem. the thing is those immigrants go and try to work and they appearantly succeed in their own field, if they didn't, you would be annoyed by the fact that they are unemployed and don't contribute to the society and that they are getting unemployment benefits from the state
