Thanks Allie, I appreciate that. I think br/ex!t is dumb as fuck, too, because it’s going to severely limit the opportunities of young people in the very near future, while the elderly and uneducated who voted to leave on the sole topic of immigration aren’t really going to be affected by it. This is just going to make the situation in England worse than it already is, and that helps no one.

With that said, the person who literally came out as antimiscegenation is an Armenian man (who is more white passing than not), but has a huge chip on his shoulder about Muslim people (I think his parents lived through the genocide, or at the very least were persecuted, given that they’re Christian rather than Muslim).

The argument I got from this woman whose husband is British was that I don’t know what I’m talking about because non-white people are getting social security, benefits, jobs, and are ‘living better than the average white person’ in England (followed by commentary from That Guy that it’s the same here in Canada, now), without considering that the ‘poor immigrant living better than the average white citizen’ is a fucking myth that has been debunked countless times, but hey, what the fuck do I know!!

This Woman also went on to complain about her brother-in-law, who worked in New Zealand for many years (???), and when he went back to England, received no help from the government (???????????????????????). I don’t know, I might be wrong here, but I’m pretty sure that if you worked and paid taxes in a different country, you’re not entitled to benefits somewhere else, unless you actually paid into those benefits??

And even then? I don’t know, that just seemed like a red herring to me, but again, what the fuck do I know, I’m just some dumb young person who doesn’t know what they’re talking about!!

She then went on to comment that “Of course London voted to Remain, half the population of London doesn’t even speak English!” and it was at that point that my eyes rolled so far back into my head that I could see my brain cells dying, on top of which I knew I basically didn’t need to listen to anything this woman had to say because she’s an old, white racist.

Additionally, I’m also of the understanding that the jobs that the immigrants are ‘‘‘‘‘stealing’’’’’ from white British people are largely menial labour and grunt work jobs (i.e. the jobs that white British people don’t really want to do or feel they are above, but will complain if they aren’t freely and readily available to them by virtue of their whiteness).
