The Jihad is ongoing, ..what are you doing about it? ?
London (CNSNews.com) - The population of some English cities is changing
to such a degree, that within several decades, whites will be the
largest among ethnic minority groups, according to a new report.
Scholars and others here agree that England's population is growing more
ethnically diverse, but they differ on whether various groups are
becoming more or less segregated.
University of Manchester academics Ludi Simpson and Nissa Finney predict
in a report that in Birmingham, the second largest city in England, the
white population will become a minority by 2024 -- still the largest
group by far, but no longer accounting for a majority of the total
population.
The cities of Leicester and Bradford will likely reach the same point in
about 30 years, with white residents matched in number by the
descendents of immigrants from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, they say.
England's population has been overwhelmingly Caucasian throughout its
history. The shift began shortly after World War II, when the government
encouraged men from the former colonies to fill factory posts left empty
by the casualties of war.
Although Wales and Scotland remain largely homogeneous, a 2001 census
found that England's white, native-born population had dropped to 87
percent.
Simpson predicts that the white population of England will plateau at
around 75-80 percent in a couple of decades, depending on the vagaries
of future immigration and the social dynamics of the individual groups.
In recent years, as tensions have risen between the Muslim community and
others in Britain, commentators have frequently warned that some ethnic
groups are becoming isolated from the rest of society.
Simpson, however, said recent government studies show that ethnic
minorities are increasingly moving out of the cities and into the
suburbs, merging with the broader population.
That assessment appears to contradict a report last month by the
government-funded Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), which warned
that segregation was increasing in England.
The CRE report said an ethnic minority baby born in Britain today is
more likely to go to substandard state schools, to receive poor health
care and to live in his or her own group's separate neighborhood.
CRE director of policy Nick Johnson said that his group had relied on
much of the same data used by Simpson but had approached the subject
from a different angle. He suggested that Simpson may have been wary of
stirring up "fear of diversity."
Mohammed Anwar, a professor at the University of Warwick, said it could
be difficult to talk broadly about race relations in Britain since
different ethnic groups were going through different experiences.
For example, prosperous Indian immigrants in the East End of London are
following the path set by Jewish immigrants in the same neighborhoods
decades before and moving out to the suburbs, he said.
Elsewhere, however, many British Muslims have been facing more
discrimination since 2001, he said.
"This debate about whether segregation is increasing or decreasing is
not supported by the figures," he said. "It's remaining the same."
Muddying the picture further is the prediction of some analysts that
people of mixed race will become the largest ethnic minority sometime in
the next two to three decades.
According to a study in the late 1990s by the Policy Studies Institute
think tank, an estimated 40 percent of black children in Britain had one
white parent. One-third of all British-born black women were reportedly
married or in a long-term relationship with a white man, with the figure
rising to half of all British-born black men.
Cass Gilroy, an editor with African Echo, a newspaper for African
immigrants in Britain, said Tuesday British identity was becoming more
fluid.
As was the case in America, he said, British identity was increasingly
becoming something that one chose, rather than simply a matter of birth.
What will you do during the Jihad ?
Hide under your bed shitting yourself.
