Unherd is something I subscribe to. It sends me emails with interesting political articles, from a range of viewpoints from left to right. It just invited me to a debate in London, between five people, none of whom are conservatives, entitled “Immigration and Diversity Politics: A Challenge to Liberal Democracy?”
All I want to say about this is that the debate was originally on the question “Is rising ethnic diversity a threat to the West?”, until last month when the title was changed. It was changed after what is called a Twitterstorm from people who said asking such a question was inadmissible and normalised racism.

Make of this what you will, gentle reader. I just thought it worth telling you.

They are not successes but not are they very suddenly diversifying.

ReplyDeleteVery interesting and worthwhile contribution.
I appreciate your posts more and more!
Serbia has a very largely homogenous (ethnic Serb and orthodox Christian) population but if you check the small print, it has a diverse number of ethnic minorities, most of which are horrendously white ;) except the Roma.

"They are not successes but not are they very suddenly diversifying."
What are you trying to say Paul?
It seems to be taken that diversity is a universal good but what are the concrete benefits? There must be some SJW, woke person or virtue signaller, out there who can enlighten me by identifying them :).
'what are the concrete benefits? '
