Comment on Who/what are racists according to UK protests? Why are they protesting?

They seem to not want immigrants. And I suspect “immigrant” means “doesn’t look like me”. In other words, it’s just " they took are jerbs!"

The make-up and mindset of the citizenry doesn’t change just because the government changes.

It’s a small minority rioting, with massive counter-protests. You’re trying to say the whole population is rotten based on a few negative examples, which ironically is just what the racists are doing themselves.

  I’m not trying to say that. I’ve no idea why you think I am.

    I think that because you’re attributing those views to “the citizenry”. I can only go on the words you’ve used, and you’ve used a word that describes the whole country’s population, not a small minority.

    I haven’t attributed anything to the citizenry. I wrote two distinct paragraphs, only one of which contained the word “citizenry”.
