I regret to inform you that this is not a satire site.
That is a real headline from The Telegraph this week regarding a report from the University of Leicester's "Centre for Hate Studies."
In it, academics claim that ethnic minority communities face 'challenges" in the countryside because rural England is "overwhelmingly white'.
This creates feelings of 'discomfort', the report states, and the 'psychological burden' that comes with 'navigating predominantly white spaces'.
The report also raises concerns that traditional pub culture and other 'monocultural customs' are exclusionary.
ENGLISHMEN LOOK AND ACT LIKE ENGLISHMEN?? š±
It states that the countryside lacks 'appropriate facilities to meet religious and cultural needs', and does not cater for 'dietary norms that are rooted in religious or cultural practice', such as kosher and halal, adding to feelings of exclusion.
To tackle 'rural racism' and increase diversity, a series of recommendations are set out in a section of the report, How Can We Make the Countryside More Inclusive?
The study was led by this criminology professor, Neil Chakraborti (a very British name, to be sure).
Do you think Chakraborti would be happy if we suggested that his homeland somewhere in India/Bangladesh needs to incorporate more English foods and customs for the sake of "diversity"?
Or is colonization only good when it's done in reverse?
The report claims that the 'rural racism' such recommendations are intended to tackle is in part driven by fear and 'resistance to demographic changes'.
It states that these changes are often 'framed as a threat to the stable and enduring norm of rural identity', rather than 'being recognised as a process of enrichment'.
"Enrichment." That's what the UK is definitely experiencing right now!
The report, which opens with a trigger warning, states that 'most participants felt that racism in rural England is getting worse' and that the rural British 'monoculture' could contribute to developing far-Right sentiment, as opposed to the diversity found in cities.
...
The report comes after the British countryside was branded a 'racist, colonial' white space by a number of wildlife charities.
I'm starting to think that this might be all about Marxism and conquest, and that these people are using the word "diversity" as an excuse to erase a people's heritage from their own homeland.
I'll leave you with this response:
