Black Female Member of Parliament Is Discovered to be an Anti-Minority Racist By Noting that "Not All Cultures Are Equal" and Saying That She Wants the UK to Embrace Western Values, Not the Third-World Values of the Country She Fled
Skinfolk ain't always kinfault, am I right? (Kamala Fake Accent ON) Mmmm-hm, chiiiiiile, you know what I'm sayin'. (Lunatic cackling ensues.)
Kemi Badenoch's perfectly legitimate view, that 'not all cultures are equally valid' when it comes to deciding who should be allowed to settle in the UK, has been greeted with outrage from the usual suspects.
The UK Tory leadership contender made the point in a piece outlining her approach to immigration for the Sunday Telegraph. She writes that Britain is not simply 'a dormitory for people to come here and make money', and that migrants' cultural backgrounds matter, too. 'We cannot be naïve and assume immigrants will automatically abandon ancestral ethnic hostilities at the border', she adds.
She expanded on her op-ed during a discussion last weekend, on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. 'Cultures that believe in child marriage, or that women don't have equal rights' are not in line with 'Western principles', she said.
None of this should be controversial. Badenoch is right to point out that most politicians only want to talk about the economic impact of immigration -- whether positive or negative -- on growth, productivity and wages. Too many ignore the cultural impact of immigration. And the truth is that certain migrants from certain backgrounds find it easier to integrate into British society and adopt its liberal democratic values than others.
Badenoch is also correct to warn of the danger of importing ethnic hostilities to the UK, and disrupting domestic community relations....
Furthermore, immigration can also import political conflicts....
In her Sunday Telegraph piece, Badenoch drew attention to the importation of anti-Israel hatred to the UK. There are plenty of criticisms to make of the Netanyahu-led Israeli government, and there's a strong case to be made for the UK to officially recognise Palestinian statehood. But large parts of the pro-Palestine movement go well beyond such calls for Palestinian self-determination. This includes the frequent chanting of anti-Jewish slogans and the displaying of pro-Hamas symbols. This not only shows a flagrant disregard for the law (it is an offence to glorify terrorism), it also intimidates and endangers Britain's Jewish communities.
...
Badenoch has a point. The UK desperately needs a new post-Brexit settlement when it comes to immigration -- one that takes into account both economics and culture.
