    It’s funny how indigenous population who’s scared about their wellbeing is called “far-right”. Focus on stabbings, rapes and other pressing issues.

      Funny how there was no rage when Lucy Letby was found guilty or that guy who very recently murdered the mother and daughters with a crossbow.

      indigenous population

      Which ones are indigenous, the ones that came over with the Celts, the ones that came over with the Romans, the ones that came over with the Angles and Saxons, the ones that came over with the Norman French… or are we talking about the hunter-gatherers displaced by the Celts here? Do we need to test some DNA?

      Indigenous population scared about their wellbeing? Wellbeing from what? What possible threat has the indigenous population faced recently that you need to be all up in arms about it?

      This is a report on Gov.uk

      In 2022/23, white individuals accounted for 78% of arrests, 8% were of black individuals, 8% were of Asian individuals, 4% were of mixed ethnicity individuals and 2% were of other ethnicity individuals

      In 2022, 77% of all males prosecuted for indictable offences were from the white ethnic group, compared to 86% of all females prosecuted

      Since 2018, white defendants have had a consistently lower average custodial sentence length (ASCL) than all other ethnic groups combined for indictable offences.

      Black prisoners served the greatest proportion of their original sentence in custody.

      What is your point? What are you up in arms about exactly?

          What are you pointing to exactly in that lengthy report pal? Graphic below seems pretty much on par with what person previous to you was saying.

            Compare, say, convictions by race to population by race. When 3% of the population is black and 10%of the convictions are black people, there’s an odd disparity. Now, a number of things could be happening there. Maybe black people are committing 3 times more crime than the population average. Maybe cops are charging black people more for a given crime than other races. Maybe black people are disadvantaged in some other way that’s causing more crime than the average. The chart doesn’t really say, and I’m not interested in doing a deep sociopolitical dive to have an idea why.

            There are certainly issues with cultural beliefs causing crime which really can’t be ignored. Honor killings, where, for instance, a woman is killed because getting raped brings dishonor to the family and killing her somehow restores it, will increase crime rates on a purely cultural basis. But this chart isn’t going to show that, either. My Caribbean friend and my Nigerian friend have very different opinions on certain subjects, because culture doesn’t necessarily follow skin color.

              Very well put, no idea why you’re getting downvoted. Probably offended someone’s sensibility because you didn’t worship at the alter of immigration and diversity. But latest research apparently shows we just may be able to acknowledge culture specific issues without giving into racist twattery. Sounds far fetched to me but I like to keep an open mind.

      When you’re goose-stepping around town, do you have to keep a mouth guard just in your mouth the whole time, or do you discretely pocket it until the day inevitably turns on you? I’ve always wanted to know and never got to talk to an actual out-and-out fascist before. Ya know, you suspect some people, but you’re just brave enough to come out and say it.

      But seriously, leave lemmy and don’t come back. Thanks!

      It’s rich coming from a country that used to colonize all across the world, displace and genocide indigenous people, exploit the country’s resource, divide and conquering the people of their colony, and even deliberately causing famine. Even the decolonization aren’t due to good will but simply running out of money. Now a lonewolf knife attack by an immigrant and they’re bitching about their indigenous people’s safety. My country were colonized by British and their divide and conquer tactic is still pretty much alive right now. Apologies for that, bitch.

        I do love the British who have this “we colonized them and now they have the gall to come over here” attitude.
