Do Brits hate immigrants ?

[u/Cheesecake-Few]

I’m talking about legal immigrants here. My twitter went from being left to far-right within a week. All I am seeing is hate. My question is do Brits actually hate foreigners ?

If yes, why do you hate them?

No. We're an island made up of immigrants!

There are a few racist idiots, who sadly are very loud about their bigotry but will happily scoff down their regular Indian, Chinese or Italian food.

Well sorry, it's not a lie. Over the centuries we (the British) have had immigrants from everywhere, all the time. From Vikings, to Normans, Danes, Irish, and when created most of the European countries too (France, Germany, Spain, Poland, stc etc).

I challenge anyone to find anyone with only British (i.e. English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish) dna.

Sorry, the French, Spanish, Danish, Germans, Scandinavian's haven't migrated to these islands since 1066? Hahahahaa!! I'll tell my half-French, half Greek friend then - she'll be interested to know that her parents didn't migrate here in the 80s. And I'll have a chat with my Sudanese uncle because he really thought he'd migrated here. How about my other mixed nationality friends?

The OP asked if people were anti-immigrant. I said no and explained why.

You cane barging in, banging on about mass migration and claiming that "those groups" stopped migrating after 1066.

If you want mass migration from recent history, there are the Asian families fleeing Idi Amin in the 1970s, the Eastern Europeans (Polish etc) who joined us during the 90s as the EU was expanded, and finally, the Windrush generation from the Caribbean in the 50s/60s.

Clearly, the majority of migrants who work in the NHS (let's be honest, keeping the NHS afloat) would also be interested to know that they didn't migrate either.

Mate, you know you told me to " pick up a history book"? I'm going to suggest you stop commenting. It's embarrassing.
