Not being a far-left open borders advocate doesn't make someone a racist.
All people detained by the state are mistreated because of punitive conceptions of the justice system. It's not a race thing for crimes to be committed against detained populations.
If far-left types spent their energies demanding better conditions instead of open borders the problem could be resolved, instead they polarize society and leave those of us who want better conditions in detention centres being shouted over by people who hate the concept of national borders, and people who rightly see that as a dangerous and destructive idea fighting back.
It's like if the left wing up and decided we had to abolish the concept of crime and prisons entirely because conditions are bad and just shouted abuse at the right wing who are like "That's anarchy and a terrible idea", meanwhile i'm here like;
"Maybe we keep prisons but sack guards who beat prisoners? Idk, crazy I know.".

We need control of immigration between countries, otherwise countries don't exist anymore. That being said, we can still treat migrants like people and not treat them like absolute shit for the simple crime of crossing a line on a map.

you mean like when labor passed a bill to allow the refugees in the concentration camps to receive outside medical treatment and the lib/nats immediately turned around and started trying to repeal it?

We do have some mixed schools, but still many what i would call segregated schools which are predominantly either catholic or protestant with small minorities of the other with some muslim kids or kids of other religions here and there. Defeating sectarianism in future generations needs to be tackled first in schools by getting more kids of the two communities together, alongside kids of the smaller immigrant communities (be they muslim, polish, chinese whatever)Nanatsu no Tsuki wrote:The Huskar Social Union wrote:Northern Ireland doesnt have white privilege, what we did have was ethnic privilege towards Protestant British people over Catholic Irish people for much of my homes existence, and this applied to basically every aspect of life in Northern Ireland.

You guys have put in the effort to change things. Or did, for what I remember. That has to be said. I particularly liked the movement of establishing mixed schools, where you had Catholic students and Protestant students together coexisting.

Unfortunately its not as simple as that, many people here in NI are proudly british and want to be part of the UK, and many also just see it as more beneficial to be in the UK than Ireland. However with Brexit on the horizon and attitudes towards NI by the rest of the UK that may change in time, polls have shown a narrower margin between unification and staying in the UK but they should always be taken with a pinch of salt. And joining the ROI would still leave some lasting issues and cause a few more but i dont think it would ever be as bad as what happened before.Rojava Free State wrote:The Huskar Social Union wrote:Northern Ireland doesnt have white privilege, what we did have was ethnic privilege towards Protestant British people over Catholic Irish people for much of my homes existence, and this applied to basically every aspect of life in Northern Ireland.

The Irish were the first country to be colonized by Britain in the long history of Britain colonizing foreign ethnicities. As a result they suffered the longest (800 years) and the only thing that can truly finally fix the issue in my opinion is to reunite Northern Ireland with the Republic. One island is Ireland. One island is the UK. It just makes sense

I see. I thought the practice was more widespread instead of just causing segregation. Here’s to hoping that what you stated comes to pass.

It depends on the communities too, some schools are situated between communities meaning they mix more as a result, or there have been campaigns to mix the two together at schools near by. Other areas with tensions can lead to their being separate schools or Catholics and protestants though not as much as there used to be.

And of the course the peace walls are still a thing, so that causes major segregation between communities

Has your family seen changes, all things considered, from their generation to yours and what do they think of the future regarding this schism between Catholic and Protestant? Do you think attitudes would change if the view of Protestant elites regarding native Irish were better?

Can't benefit from your skin colour if you're part of another marginalised demographic.
TIL I don't have white privilege.
Or maybe Huskar's just posting drunk again.
