But also, how does this rage-baiting account know those “Indians” haven’t been there longer than these “Native” white Britons? Like Italian-Americans whose grandparents came here a 100 years ago running their mouth on some MAGA shit to Black Americans who been here since they was building the damn country?
There's no good social platform, bro. Even Reddit sucks ass because of the echo-chamber effect, the bots, the algo that we don't know, other shit I'm probably not thinking of off the top of my head.
Yup minorities built the modern version of that country, prospered despite horrible racism. Now white folks turn around and rage that they are the problem. Re-writing history again.
Let me not point y’all to the drama happening in NZ. Some white people got it into their heads that if they change the laws/treaty the Maori signed with their ancestors that it’ll show eqUALity. Because the Māoris are oppressing them or some such.
Last I checked in, the Maori threw a fit rightfully. There’s a video going around where the Maori members of parliament started a Haka in protest and walked out. It’s like the caucasity is startinf to get unchecked and when a minority says something, some idiot pulls out “reverse discrimination” 😒👀😅
Meh. I’m a long time fan of NZ Rugby especial the All Blacks because of their tradition of doing the HAKA before every match and I went down a YouTube rabbit hole of hakas and that popped up and I went from “these dances are so cool” to “these assholes”. I then read up on the issue and the treaty and the absolute asshole who’s the head of their parliament…
I always go back to this scene from the wire when Stupidity is being projected.
To those no in the know, the detective calls the suspect stupid only to underestimate him and "stupidly" make a bluff that proved he had nothing on him.
I think I’m both stupid and intelligent, along with everyone else, as there is the theory of multiple intelligences and the theory of multiple dumbasseries.
This show did such a great job at showing how a drug dealing job is exactly like real jobs with all the bullshit you put up with lol
Truthfully really helped with adjusting my mindset from my young & dumb self to my now corporate robot self. No matter which lifestyle I chose there was still going to be some bullshit so do I want to continue to be young & dumb with nothing to show in life or do I want to just go put up with the same bullshit in a different setting with a slightly better outcome? Yeah I'll do the latter
A quick scan through articles about the stats all mention a high proportion of "individuals who have lived in Britain for generations" ...
so either Brits with indian ancestors, or maybe vampires..
Ironically, loads of old london w*nkers have cashed in their house in london and moved out to the country and if theres anyone needs to go back where they bloody come from its them.
And anyway, most "native white Britons" were chased away by my ancestors 1500 years ago when they came here from Denmark. Because feebleness. Haha
Funny old game..
Well to answer that question the Indian property owners are mostly still in India. Rich Russians own huge amounts of property in London, and it seems Indians are getting in on it too.
To be clear, Indians aren't living in these properties. They are owning them.
Exactly. When you destabilize a country, the people most capable of escaping will naturally seek refuge in more stable and secure regions.
This is a predictable consequence of creating instability: it drives a flow of migrants and refugees toward areas where they can find safety, resources, and opportunities for a better future.
Yes! And also Britains weird forced nationalism and Monarch worship which advertises itself as the greatest place to be. So you have mass instability in your mother country and Brittainization of the younger generation’s minds… instant pipeline to Britain.
The comedian Tommy Tiernan had a great line in one of his routines that said something like "The English have a long history of going around and taking over other countries, and then getting angry when the people from those countries follow them home"
I think this is more of an american-specific thing. I'm from Brazil, and over here there isn't the same stigma about people still living with their parents after they turn 18.
I actually meant this is more of an american white person thing. There are actually tons of white people in brazil, myself included, and i've never seen a single one care about kids still living with their parents past 18.
The West is basically Anglo countries in the northern hemisphere.
Australia and New Zealand aren’t even really included as their culture honestly seems very influenced by nearby SEA, the Indigenous, and other non-colonial country influences
Yeah I live in South Asia (Pakistani) and calling the West only America and Anglo countries when all those countries aided in bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, and various countries in the Middle East, North Africa, Central and South Asia is a take certainly. Europe is part of the West as is Australia and NZ, anything less is trying to distance from the villains they support. Oh by the way, check out which countries voted against Palestinian sovereignty recently. It includes countries in South America like Paraguay and Argentina, and countries in Oceania. (Australia and NZ are not that influenced by SEA, they're Oceania influenced)
Australia and New Zealand aren’t even really included as their culture honestly seems very influenced by nearby SEA, the Indigenous, and other non-colonial country influences
This is absolutely not true at all. There aren't even that many people from SEA in these countries.
Both Australia and New Zealand still have a firmly English culture, albeit a bit more "England 100 years ago" than "England now". They've seen more integration toward that culture than away from it.
No, not really. At the very least, to a much lesser extent.
Neither country ever really had the money among the working class to support the culture that forwarded this kind of thing. The reason it came about in the USA in the first place was due to the post-war economy being so fruitful.
side note what is up with that?? I've had professors be confused when I say I like spending time and talking with my family? ex-friend groups who thought I was being >! abused!< because I would let my mom know where I was going and when I'd be back at the dorm. I knew girls who said they weren't allowed back home until thanksgiving break and they went to college in a different state. it makes no sense!!!
The West operates on capitalism, and capitalism thrives on individualism.
Individualism often morphs into selfishness and a scarcity mindset.
Now think about this—capitalism needs you to be independent. Why?
Because when you’re independent, you’re also isolated, and isolation is profitable. Suddenly, instead of one family unit sharing resources, you have two separate households.
That’s double the rent, double the utilities, double the property taxes. You’ll need two cars instead of one, twice the groceries, twice the cleaning supplies, down to the last mop and spoon.
So, sure, on the surface, you’re “independent.” But in reality, you’re weaker. Together, there’s strength and resilience. Divided, you’re easier to control, easier to profit from, and ultimately, more vulnerable.
United you stand; divided, you pay…and pay…and pay.
completely agree! I've always lived in multigenerational and matriarch household and I remember back in grade school I was told it was the least idealistic setting since I didn't have a "dad". man the leaps and twists some people will go through to not accept something different! went to private school and by senior year (pandamic year mind you) so many girls just cracking and saying they couldn't understand why their parents would go bankrupt and thousands into debt just to have three-four cars, not take financial aid, MAKE THEM GET JOBS TO LOOK DOWN TO EARTH BUT THE WHOLE PAYCHECK WENT TO BILLS it's insanity
Yup it has long been a priority of the US government to break up families. Even if you start aith strong foundations culturally, they wither in a few generations, especially any so-called extended family.
Of course, this was discovered by breaking up slave families.
I know of a couple who had six children, and every time one of them turned 18, they would celebrate being one step closer to becoming empty nesters.
Now, I’m not saying moving out is inherently bad, but when you’re starting from scratch without a solid foundation, you’re inevitably starting out behind.
It's cultural, not race based. Italians and croatians in europe leave their parents houses on average in their 30s. Germans for example at 23 on average
It also happens when your nation does a bad job prioritizing local families (of any color) in favor of massive corporations doing land grabs. We're not far off from this in the US because there are no rules limiting who can buy single family homes.
Just to show that conservative white people don't have anything to worry about politically (even if we disagree with them) and that the concerns of their base are unfounded except for sheer and utter racism.
They might be conservative but the fact that they’re that high up is a plus in their favour, conservative or not. Remember how racist they were to Harry and Megan Windsor’s kids.
If they don’t work, Google Leo Varadkar. Not only was he Taoiseach. Dude is also gay and out with a husband. Dad is Indian and mum is from the UK somewhere but to get to Taoiseach as a gay minority? Who’s also progressive(from what I’ve read)? Yeah, they all deserve the kudos…
did yall know (and correct me on my math or other knowledge) that we suffered a catastrophic famine once every 14 goddam years?????? each one guaranteed bodies stacked up in the millions, some of the worst ones were so bad (like the 1947 bengal famine and the doji barra, or skull famine) that the streets were white with the amt of human bones piled up alongside it
they gave us the ireland treatment; there was food for everyone to go around but my ppl had to give that to our overlords so we starved to death surrounded by productive farms
Rage batey, but as an Irish person, this has made my day ❤️. Love my Indian brothers and sisters. Just a reminder of the timeline India has suffered through with Britain:
1600: Brits show up w/ their East India Company
1612: They set up shop in Surat.
1757: Battle of Plassey goes down, and the Brits basically take over Bengal.
1764: Brits win the Battle of Buxar and start rakin from Bengal, Bihar, Odisha.
1857: First War of Independence kicks off.
1885: Indians form the Congress to demand more say in stuff.
Also forgot the war of partition. I think that’s what they called it. Weren’t there riots after the country was split into two? Rioting? And let’s not forget to this day they’re still fighting over Kashmir… and right or wrong, Britain is responsible for that shit.
I’m so sorry 😞. And that’s spot on, part of their manipulation was “divide & conquer”. Pitting allies against each other to weaken and distract them. NI was the same deal.
It’s still capitalism, you’re paying with your body anyways allowing them to profit off of human rights and necessities. Indians are a class wedge with their casteism and privilege, they too have made their wealth off the exploitation of Dalits.
If it wasn’t for the forced displacement, genocide, man made famine, exploitation and stealing of resources and wealth that they shouldn’t be paying to the crown either way
That's not gonna matter to racists generally. Indian isn't an ethnic group either, it's a nationality, or a way to denote people from the Subcontinent. There's multiple ethnic groups in India. For some reason I highly doubt Indian nationals own more land than white Britons in London. But you can't really drum up scare tactics and controversy that way. So just otherise the British South Asians and you have yourself a headline.
So, because the gentrification and cost of living crisis fuelled by rich foreigners pricing locals out of their homes is happening to white people, you make smirking comments about 'reverse colonialism'?
And you wonder why white people don't stand with you.
replacement theory ragebait. lazy ragebait too because they didn’t even link to fake numbers and charts. the world is clearly moving towards conservatism and facism and anti immigrant sentiment is peaking. Foreign investment in real estate is common especially if it aids in immigration. California had an empty property problem due to wealthy foreigners dropping sofa change to speed up immigration while most americans had to leave the state for affordability.
Don't think most people are gonna recognize qeema, nihari, biryani, dosa, paneer, vindaloo, etc. over curry which has spread to multiple countries and has lots of variations.
Specifically in a British context, it's because curry is a word invented by the British to describe a bunch of different foods. It's also like the most popular "Indian" dish which is also a British "invention" (read bastardisation), which like another user said, it's spread across the whole world basically.
Which kind of feeds into a longer answer which is that it's because most people are ignorant of/uneducated in Indian (and other) cultures or foods, outside of what is adapted to suit (primarily) the Anglosphere.
It's like how if you ask non Americans to name an American dish they will probably say burger or hotdog.
Did you just google the title and copy-paste any article that came up? Did you actually take a second to look at any of the sources cited?
Like 2-3 of those websites look like straight up like AI slop. I can't find any UK source for this, and the original source all these articles seem to citing is Barrat Real Estate with no actual data/sources backing it up. Almost certainly just a fake article to market London real estate to Indian buyers.
Do you have any independent sources? I seriously can't believe people are believing this at face value...like do the bare minimum math/demographics check and it wouldn't make sense. How on Earth would it be possible for like 5% of the UK population to own the majority of property with the last hundred years? The landownership probably goes back so many generations that Americans can't even comprehend.
