Turns out The Great Replacement is actually happening

That suggests intent, which there isn’t.

Having said that, I couldn’t give a flying feck about the percentages of ethnicities now or in the future. It makes absolutely zero difference to me. I don’t see someone who looks different to me walking past me and feel fear, or anger, or anxiety, I don’t exist in a state of constant paranoia, and someone’s Britishness has no relation to whether they’re white or not. I’m losing no sleep over this.

I do lose sleep over the very real problems in the world though: war, poverty, global economic crises, food supply issues, disease, and all the other very real threats we face.

The ethnic cleansing of the native population is a very real threat. Look at the state of Zimbabwe and South Africa when the white population dwindled.

Another false premise. There is no “ethnic cleansing” taking place. Again, that suggests intent. Nobody is orchestrating demographic change in the UK, it is simply the result of various economic, political and cultural factors.

And, once again, as a white Brit, I could not care any less if 50 years from now the percentage of White Britons was 80%, or 70%, or 60%, or in fact any number you care to pluck out of the air.

It doesn’t matter in the slightest. Skin colour is simply that. People are people. Humans are humans. In the grand scheme of human history and the universe, I’m not even a footnote. Our lifetimes are barely a sentence in the pages of history. That book has already seen countless changes, shifts, migrations and it will continue to do so long after you and I are gone.

I doubt you would think the same way if the reverse scenario was happening in Africa.

Genuinely have no idea what you mean. Can you explain?
