Consider this. Perhaps the white people most worried at such a prospect are wealthy gits whose money has derived from the rape of Africa. Such people would be well aware of the benefits associated with being at the top of the food chain and the horrors of being at the bottom. They would most certainly dread having done to them what their ancestors did to African peoples.

This is a very interesting question. As a white Brit I can't say that this is something that I spend a lot of time worrying about, but I imagine that you are probably fairly close to the truth with your explanation. Even if you yourself are not prejudiced and worried about retribution, just knowing that minority groups are persecuted SIMPLY FOR BEING THE MINORITY is scary if you think you may soon be in the minority yourself.
I also think that a great number of White Brits don't have a strong sense of identity and self-worth. I think, as an observer, the Asian community for instance seem to, collectively and individually, have a strong sense of identity, and a keenness to preserve it's culture, that may be lacking in a certain sector of White Britain. Maybe people are scared that they may find they have little left to define who they are if they cease to be part of the majority. Does that make sense?

I have no idea, after all aren't they the majority in the UK. If we are suppose to in a functioning multi - cultural, poetically correct nation when what is there to fear. Ethnic minorities all put together do not even make 30% of the UK population as a hole?
Maybe they have seen how some people dominated places like South Africa, America and Australia and are scared the same thing will happen. I blame the BNP, why won't people realise that they are a racist group, they are not even covert about what they say and do....stupid people

it's not all white people it's the racists among us there will never be a coloured queen or a catholic prince there are 60 million people in the uk so to qualify as being minority we need to see a rise in the population to a limit beyond which the country can withstand

White people are a minority.
Find a graph from the UN global population study.
Whites are so far behind the big population groups if they were animals they would be put on the endangered specie list

I'd like to know where you got this idea from - because quite frankly it is a load of tosh and certainly does not represent the majority of people living in the UK.

Most members of the ethnic minorities in this country have escaped from their own countries. In some instances they have also imported the problems they have left behind. Of course I'm worried.

Maybe the answer to your question has to do with who has the most children. Most of the average Brits have a couple of children, and most of the ethnics have larger families. This over time may lead to the ethnic minority eventually being the dominant race in this country

Looks like white people would rather blame the 1% of 'immigrants' than the 1% of rich for their problems.
