V.unconvincing claim indeed about party politics. So many counter-examples. SNP. Thatcher. Trump. Some social issues, eg transformation of attitudes to gay rights about govts, parties & civil society.
Numbers on that? You’ve dodged all my progress questions. I have a feeling you just think there’s a historical trend towards your ideas that happens by itself; this is false. Where is the equivalent youth movement to GI in favour of mass migration?

I am not a believer in linear progress or demography as destiny. Have argued the opposite as most people actually following identity debates/evidence seriously would know.
-
I am surprised you attribute views to people who have a prominent track record of arguing the opposite. You are going to struggle as a hipster racist thought leader if you are paddling so much in the shallow end of the identity evidence

What is causing these generational shifts then? Also; what would polled support for Communism in 1988 have looked like? Or Catholicism in 1516? Diversity / multicultural ideology is taught in schools, it was not a couple of decades ago. That’s not sustainable

I think the reasons for intergenerational failure of people holding racist views to persuade their children/grandchildren a v. interesting conundrum to unpick. There's no serious question about the shift existing. Obviously you believe you can reverse it but it looks tricky now
-
We aren’t racist, we oppose racism in fact. So you think these views are entirely learnt? Blank slate stuff? Also, how do you explain the persistence of self-segregation effects? Segregation appears to increase as the overall population gets more diverse, which seems odd
-
It is good to hear that you oppose racism but your disappointment about the intergenerational fall in racism in the UK is sending mixed signals about that
-
It’s not disappointment at all, it’s scepticism. I think multiculturalism is a failed policy that inflames racial tensions. It seems obvious to state we didn’t have race riots before the era of mass immigration - and replacement level immigration is causing immense problems
-
It seems to me you are disingenuous and not-credible on the issues of race and esp integration. You are not a pro-integration project, but the opposite (cf your comments on Sadiq Khan), so you have no credible answers to "what should we do now" given its not 1948 or 1968.
