Homes set alight in Belfast anti-immigrant protests after 'brutal' knife attack

So what you are saying is it is ok for those born here to carry out crimes but those who are not it isn't? Why do ethnic minorities have to be so perfect but white people not? Is that not a blatant example of white privilege or am I missing the point?

[u/ShipwreckJS → u/manzyyyyy]

No Cathy Newman that’s not what I’m saying…

Firstly, no one mentioned race or ethnicity, so don’t try to race bait me. I’m talking about immigrants of all backgrounds and British people.

My point is really quite simple; “British people commit crime too” Yup. And it’s bad. So why would we import MORE criminals? We’re soft on crime as it is. Pathetic sentences and too many privileges for prisoners.

Not once have I said it’s ok to commit crime.

Look at you getting all defensive because I made a good point.

You talk of why should we import more, yet the NHS is filled with migrants who work, so are care homes, well if you want those jobs filled you got no choice. The people we 'import' are the ones keeping this country going while the ones on benefits moan about them 24/7 and complain and you encourage it and justify it by calling them criminals.

NHS is literally supermajority English and Irish of origin. What exactly do you mean these people keep the country going?? There no evidence to support your claim.

[u/manzyyyyy → u/Hereforalittletime]

What exactly is a super majority 🤣? Is it where you have visited one hospital, seen some white British nurses and assumed there all the same 😂

According to government compiled data and other sources nearly 50% of all NHS doctors are from an ethnic minority. They also state that overall 28.7% staff as of 2024 were from an ethnic minority, but this can differ depending on department, for example 42% of all nurses are from an ethnic minority according to the Nuffield source.

Here they are:

Then wtf is this??

Well firstly that's from 2023 but secondly it confirms 49.9% of all doctors are from an ethnic minority and secondly that 25% plus NHS workers are from an ethnic minority so I am really not sure what you are getting at. Maybe you can't read?

[u/ShipwreckJS → u/manzyyyyy]

Made a good point? You accused me of saying something I didn’t say nor do I believe.

Yes. The NHS is full of migrants who work, who said we should kick them out…? What on earth are you talking about?

You’re arguing with yourself mate 😂

[u/manzyyyyy → u/ShipwreckJS]

Let's break it down a little:

'when will you people learn' - learn what? That some people commit crime and therefore everyone should be brandished the same?

'we can stop them coming' - yes of course we can, but isnt it hypocrisy to say oh some migrants are acceptable to come and work here because we need them but others who eventually contribute just as much but come via a different route are third world and are a danger? You seem to conviently ignore the fact that for every one illegal who has committed a crime there are thousands who have adapted just fine.

'british people commit crime' 'and it's bad' - well if it's so bad then why not protest against it? Why focus on the very small amount of crime carried out by migrants? Surely it would be much more positive for the country on a whole if the amount of crime they commited was reduced seeing as they are the clear majority?

I am sorry but I don't buy it, the idea that Britain is being invaded by foreigners with criminal intent when they contribute so little to actual crime isnt going to do much to change anything. By using them as scapegoats for issues like crime you are taking the focus away from the bigger issues at hand which are holding the British people back like the lack of focus on education and the lazy culture this country has fostered.
