So everyone born in USA is a native American, right?","comments":[{"id":46347791,"user":"tovej","time":1766346870,"time_ago":"3 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Yes, they are native to the USA.

They aren't native american of course. That's a silly dishonest argument based on wordplay.","comments":[{"id":46347885,"user":"eudamoniac","time":1766347306,"time_ago":"3 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

So why are they not "native Americans" but the people referenced in your quote are "native Brits"?","comments":[{"id":46348041,"user":"tovej","time":1766348458,"time_ago":"3 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

So using a term as an ethnonym for historically British ethnic people is racist?

If so, is it racist to assert or assume that ethnic Europeans exist?","comments":[{"id":46349395,"user":"periodjet","time":1766357273,"time_ago":"3 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Social justice fundamentalism asserts that there are favored (“oppressed”) groups, and disfavored (“oppressor”) groups.

True believers have created a largely arbitrary grouping called “white people”, assigning it the “oppressor” label.

If a favored group’s nation were flooded by “white people”, that would be seen as an emergent situation requiring remedy; the opposite is what we’re seeing play out in societies like Britain, and is Not a Problem. I’m committing an act of violence by even describing it in this way.

How or when a disfavored group is restored to neutral or favored status is undefined; one would presumably have to consult a head priest of the movement for an answer (and I wouldn’t expect any coherence or clarity).","comments":[{"id":46355485,"user":"TimTheTinker","time":1766420768,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

What the hell are you on about.

"Native brit" does not identify a people the way "native american" does.

There is no entry in the dictionary for "native brit".

This is all I'm talking about.

"The English people are an ethnic group [...] native to England." [0]

"[White Brits] is an ethnicity classification used for the White population identifying as English..." [1]

The English are the native and indigenous ethnic group to England (London). White Brits are a category that includes the English.

QED.

The OP was me. I pointed out how DHH's uses the term "native brit" to mean "white person" even though that is not the meaning of "native", which means you were born somewhere.","comments":[{"id":46379796,"user":"throwawaypath","time":1766614177,"time_ago":"5 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

Nowhere in his post does he mention "White person." He specifically mentions "native Brits." The only indigenous Brits native to the Britain are White Brits.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":9,"url":"item?id=46379796"}],"comments_count":1,"level":8,"url":"item?id=46357098"}],"comments_count":2,"level":7,"url":"item?id=46355464"}],"comments_count":4,"level":6,"url":"item?id=46352503"}],"comments_count":7,"level":5,"url":"item?id=46348873"}],"comments_count":8,"level":4,"url":"item?id=46348041"}],"comments_count":9,"level":3,"url":"item?id=46347885"}],"comments_count":10,"level":2,"url":"item?id=46347791"}],"comments_count":11,"level":1,"url":"item?id=46347304"}],"comments_count":12,"level":0,"url":"item?id=46346940"}],"comments_count":13,"url":"item?id=46346437"}
