Smart one! What's the connection here? Does that make that Black British or Black German White?

It would be a lot better for you to hush it. Many of our universities and colleges are among the best ranked in the world. You are always out of context. I know you hate Americans, but do you think we care?

I am proud of my country and I can talk about whiteness or whatever I want. Do you have a problem? Where are you from? You seem to show a lot of anti- Anglosphere hate.

Your dumb analogy would work for any minority living in their country of origin. A Black man from Georgia will have more in common with a white southerner then a Black man from London. So what.

Also the concept of breaking people down into groups based on race actually started in Europe. François Bernier was the first person to publish a book discussing the racial components of different peoples. This was in the 1650's. It was also British scientist who started the ideas behind Eugenics, sorry to break it to you but the idea of being "white" actually started in Europe.

Started in Europe but quickly spread to the USA and the rest of Commonwealth where it has still strong roots whereas ever since World War Two Europeans have learnt to value culture more than race which most of us now see as a made up concept to divide people.

That said, neither Europe's neither USA's dark history when it comes to this aspect.

Your system of respecting culture would be great if it was a two way street. There are millions of Muslim migrants who grew up in Europe and yet have no respect for your culture. Not only do they not respect it, they hate it. The divide between the Muslim community and white Europeans is way worse then any White and minority divide in Australia, Canada and America.

Don't blame America or Australia, it was the European colonialists who brought the theory of race there. Didn't America help the European countries from Nazi oppression? Imagine what would have happened if America, Canada, Australia stayed neutral? I think you get the point!

Having lighter eyes does not make you whiter!

Certain Middle Easterns can pass as white!

It is only the UK and US which do not want to accept that because of the Islamic paranoia, they do not want to view those people as being somewhat similar in appearance of some of their "own" whites due to their discriminatory, historical colonialism or overseeing in those regions!


I am not arguing they follow the same culture nor are they European, just that they are white, as well!

Absurd nonsense. The majority of Muslims, which grew up in Germany, are rather secular. Faith is a very private matter, and almost no one cares whether someone is religious or which religion he belongs to. Most Muslims in Germany are Germans, why they should hate the country or the German culture? In most cases it's absolute impossible to distinguish between a Muslim an atheist or Christ.
Absurd to claim they wouldn't respect the prevaltent culture. Or even more absurd to claim they would hate the prevalent culture.

You definitely watch too much Fox News.
