  • [OT] Colonization? What colonization?

    Just last week, British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe was heavily criticized
    for saying that Britain was being colonized by migrants but now, the
    Green Party is doing ads in Urdu (the official language of Pakistan) for
    next week's by-election in the constituency of Gorton and Denton (in Manchester). Leo Kearse points out why this is significant and is a
    worrying sign for the future of British politics:

    Of course, we've seen the same in the US and Canada. Two members of the
    Squad are clear examples in the US and if you look at the Canadian
    Parliament, there are lots of foreign-born MPs, including those serving
    as cabinet and shadow-cabinet members.

    Ilhan Omar and that pirate that ran for mayor of Minneapolis hold entire rallies and put commercials on TV in Somali. Not a word of English.

    Just like they make them say "I'm X and I approve this message", all political
    speeches, campaigns, and ads should be required to be in English.

    It's only colonization if it's white people displacing noble brown people. If brown people are displacing white people and erasing their culture, that's not colonization. That's multiculturalism and is celebrated.

    Here's how 'progressive' scholarship on who is native and who isn't.

    The way the term "indigenous" is used makes it clear that it's being treated
    as the antithesis of "white" because "white" is viewed as nearly synonymous with "colonizer/settler".

    In this framework, "indigenous" refers to "pre-settler societies". But if "white" and "settler" are treated as synonyms, the logic forces the bizarre conclusion that most of Europe has no indigenous population at all, and white people are native to nowhere.

    The left likes to criticize what they call "scientific racism", but there are few clearer examples of it than this.
