‘They don’t look like me. It’s off-putting’ – England women and a lack of non-white role models
Charlotte Harpur
Jul 18, 2022

Similarly, much of the popularity of the US Women’s National soccer team derives from it being so white and middle class.

Boys of all races and classes tend to care about sports. But it takes a lot of social construction to get girls interested in a sport.

As I wrote in 2011 about the US women’s national soccer team:

Female soccer embodies many of the most deeply-held values of white American upper middle class families: gender equality; parental (especially paternal) investment in their children; organized practice instead of play; ambitions for college scholarships; tacit race and class segregation via spending; and chauffeuring … lots and lots of chauffeuring.

So nobody in the American MSM has been so rude as to point out the remarkable lack of racial and ethnic diversity on the U.S. women’s soccer team.

Judging from the latest roster—if our World Cup team was the Tea Party, it would be denounced as nativist and racist. Certainly the women’s national soccer team would fail the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s notoriously “Four-Fifths Rule” for sniffing out possible “disparate impact” discrimination—discrimination where it doesn’t have to prove intent.

Yet Google News records no mention by the MSM of the lack of diversity on this lauded squad.

    ‘They don’t look like me. It’s off-putting’
     
    This just demonstrates the toxicity of "diversity" whenever you allow in a group that is non-integrable because of race or non-integrating because of religion.

    Don't do that! People who can't or won't integrate do not belong in your nation.

    But your point:


    How dare there be any majority-white countries anyway? Haven’t we fixed that yet? Also it’s just a conspiracy theory.
     
    gets at the gist of it:

    You can live with these differences, as long as it is understood the nation belongs to its people. But once you introduce minoritarianism--diversity as an ideology--and stoke minority whining and grievance then you have a toxic brew.

    Better to never have let them come, but pitching them out as soon as they start whining is the only actual solution after that.

  2. ‘They don’t look like me. It’s off-putting’ – England women and a lack of non-white role models.

    That’s an odd way to put it, Charlotte Harpur. It’s not good Englandish either.

    Was she worried that if she wrote “English women”, it be too obvious how stupid the whole thing sounds, seeing that English woman are by definition White?

    It's a British English style- "England" denotes the national team and this style has been used for a long time. Also standard is the collective singular, e.g. "England are playing a grueling schedule ('sheh-dual') to prepare for Euro 2024."

    I think you are correct. I was surprised to discover earlier this summer that the UK overall about in the same position we were in1970 before 50 years of mass migration started. They are only 3% black for example and have slightly more Asians than blacks. That really puts a different spin on the complaints of minorities about not being represented. Of course there aren't many of you on Tv; there aren't many of you as a percentage of the overall population!

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/270386/ethnicity-in-the-united-kingdom/

    They can still make decisions that are different than ours and they do not get nearly the number of illegal immigrants that we do.

    London of course is far different:

    "London was the most ethnically and religiously diverse region in England and Wales where the largest ethnic groups were White British (43.4%), Other White (14.6%) and Black African (7.9%); people with a religion other than Christian accounted for over 25% of London's population compared with an estimated 10.6% of the overall population."

    , @Forbes
    @Yancey Ward

    Anyone with a passing familiarity with population statistics would know and understand that outlier groups are always overrepresented in small subpopulations--those with defined characteristics. A woman's soccer team, much less a national soccer team, is not a random sample of the population. Even a random sample of, say, 25 women, out of the ~28 million females in England would regularly fall short of the 3 non-whites for proportionate representation.

    But then the NYT is pressing and agenda, not the facts or truth of the matter.

  4. What recent World Cup or some other national soccer match had a crowd of non whites chanting, “give it to the black guy he’ll score.” Before a bad miss on a penalty kick?

    "That it is no longer possible to send a child to the store on an errand to fetch soda...."

    I grew up in a dense working-class (but still quite white) urban neighborhood in the early 70s. My parents used to routinely send my five-year-old ass down to the corner store, which was run by an old Jewish couple, Holocaust survivors, to get a quart of milk or some such. Looking back, I think they didn't really need the quart of milk, they just wanted me to learn how to walk down the street by myself and interact with people. Which was still possible back then, and no one could imagine that it ever would not be.

    Max and Anne still had their camp tattoos, which they displayed without any bother or fuss, the same way my uncles had Navy tattoos. When I asked Anne why she had numbers on her arm, she said, "Oh, it's because a long time ago a lot of stupid people thought crazy things, or maybe a lot of crazy people thought stupid things, either way it's nothing you need to worry about."

    One night my father, a Navy man himself and a total bad-ass, walked into Max and Anne's shop and found them being held up at gunpoint by three Puerto Ricans. He had the drop on them from behind, and he proceeded to knock the living $hit out of all three of them. He finished cracking the last one's jaw, bought a pack of Luckys, then went home to my mother and announced, "We're moving."

  7. The England men’s soccer team has plenty of black players, so I doubt if there are any sufficiently talented black female players who have been overlooked on the grounds of race. I am sure that if there were any black girls good enough to be on the team, then they would be given the first opportunity to take penalty kicks.

    My niece played several times for the England women’s soccer team a number of years ago, however when she was at a college in the US she had a hard time holding down a starting place since she was unwilling to give the coach blowjobs, which was apparently a prerequisite at the time. After 2-years she transferred to the west coast and thereafter started every game for the next 2 years and obtained a degree in physics.

    that had a series of articles showing how White high school athletes were overlooked by "major" universities for scholarships, in favour of lesser Black high school athletes. There could well be many more Whites on NBA (and NFL) teams if they were given the same opportunity at the better coaching and facilities at the "major" universities.

    I was surprised at those numbers too. Slicing and dicing the age profile by what each generation experiences...

    Generations born 2011- : ??? 2021 census data unavailable until 2023 (armies of clerks hard at work, no IBM tabulating machines for the census)
    Generation born 2007-2011: 77% white (mixed race ramps up, Blair's "rub their noses in diversity" immigration policy starts to have an effect?)
    Generations born 1977-2006: around 80% white (surprised it held at that level so long. birth or EU migration?)
    Generations born 1967-1976: around 85% white
    Generations born 1952-1971: 90%->80%
    Generations born up to 1951: 95% white

    Those numbers don't break down who was born in the UK, so for example the 1967 generation (86% white in 2011) presumably grew in a country that was more than 87% white (both in that age cohort and in the population as a whole).

    Let's say kids going to school now are in a generation that's around 1/4 non-white. Let's say the air goes slowly out of the tire on white birth rates. And then we can't predict the implications of the principle that any non-white is entitled to residence in a white country as long as their country is dysfunctional enough.

    Yes and no.

    Moving from England to UK whitens the picture a bit. But in England in 2011, already 5% black in the US sense, with the "mixed" included; and another 8% "Asian". And that's 2011, the 2021 figures will drop soon and be more much more "diverse".

    Yes, this is considerably better with regard to black% than the US--pretty much any time since 1619. (Really was a watershed.)

    But the critical aspect is ideology. In 1970, although the minoritarians were charging through the institutions, elbowing their way into power and spreading their filth, the nation itself was still in reasonable shape ideologically. In contrast, Britain right now is already defeated ideologically.
    Their "elites" have swilled up American minoritarianism and enforce it with totalitarian zeal.

    So yeah, the UKs demographics are better--right now-- than the US was in 1970. But they have no way to stay there because they are in much, much worse shape ideologically--in terms of preserving their nation.

    Protesting Truckers Pledge Extended Blockade of Port of Oakland

    Independent truck drivers gather to delay the entry of trucks at a container terminal at the Port of Oakland during a protest against a California law known as AB5.

    Updated July 20, 2022 6:32 pm ET

    Truckers say they are prepared to block the West Coast’s third-busiest container port until California Gov. Gavin Newsom listens to concerns about a new state law that will make it harder for them to operate, ratcheting up the potential for new disruptions to already-strained U.S. supply chains.

    “It may go on for a few more weeks or a few more months,” said Gary Schergill, the general manager for an Oakland-based trucking company, J & S Drayage LLC, who identified himself as a representative of hundreds of truckers protesting at the port. “We’d like to have a sit-down.”

    Representatives for Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, didn’t respond to a request for comment.

    The truck protests, originally intended to last a few days, have swelled since they began Monday, bringing cargo movements at the port almost to a standstill.

    Protesters have prevented most trucks from dropping off and picking up containers at cargo-handling facilities. One trucker said protesters threatened to smash his windows if he entered the port.

    As the number of protesters grew on Tuesday and Wednesday, unionized dockworkers refused to cross picket lines on foot or by car, citing health and safety concerns. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union has said it supports the new California law because it protects worker rights and helps them join a union.

    Ed DeNike, president of SSA Containers, which handles about 70% of the cargo entering and leaving the port, said he hopes to resume some operations soon.

    Once dockworkers do get to their cranes they won’t be able to do much work. Mr. DeNike said his container yards are so full the firm has only enough space to move about 2,000 of the 10,000 containers it usually loads and unloads from ships in a 24-hour period. “At some point, we may not be able to do anything,” he said.

    Port officials said 15 container ships were waiting for berth space by the docks on Wednesday.

    The Oakland port, a major import gateway and a hub for U.S. agricultural exports, has struggled to handle surges of container volumes during the Covid-19 pandemic. Before the pandemic it was unusual for ships to have to wait for a berth at the port.

    Peter Friedmann, executive director of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition, a Washington-based association representing farming interests in shipping, said the protests are a blow to exporters of almonds, walnuts, rice and dairy products who were just beginning to make progress after two years of struggling to get products overseas. “The supply chain already is in crisis,” Mr. Friedmann said. “This is a huge disruption.”

    The protests at the port gates mark the latest disruption to hit U.S. ports since the impact of the pandemic upended trade flows in 2020, triggering big backups at Southern California ports as companies rushed to restock inventories and the gateways struggled to handle surging container volumes. The backup at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach has receded but bottlenecks have hit ports including Oakland at times and have more recently grown at East Coast ports as importers have sought alternative gateways.

    The California law, known as AB5, is part of a broader regulatory battle across the U.S. over independent-contractor arrangements at transportation companies such as Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which aims to organize drivers in California, says trucking companies have misclassified drivers as independent contractors to deprive them of fair wages and benefits.

    Many trucking companies employ their own drivers. But in California they also rely on an estimated 70,000 independent owner-operators carrying loads between the state’s ports and distribution centers. The law makes it harder for trucking companies to classify the drivers that work regularly for them as independent contractors.

    Many drivers say the new law will force them to seek work as an employee-driver or they will have to pay more for insurance and permits to remain independent under the law’s guidelines.

    Said Ahmedi, a 47-year-old trucker and protester from Elk Grove, Calif., said he likes the freedom of being self-employed, but it would be too complicated to continue as an owner-operator under the new law.

    Mr. Ahmedi said he earned almost $70,000 last year as an independent driver and was still able to take two, monthlong trips to visit family and in-laws in Afghanistan and Azerbaijan.

    “If I am a working driver I am stuck with the company,” he said.

    California legislators passed the law in 2019 and it was due to take effect in 2020, but it was delayed because of a legal challenge by the California Trucking Association. A June 30 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court not to review the case allows California to begin implementing the law in the coming months. The trucking association’s legal challenge continues in lower courts.

    Every day, millions of sailors, truck drivers, longshoremen, warehouse workers and delivery drivers keep mountains of goods moving into stores and homes to meet consumers’ increasing expectations of convenience. But this complex movement of goods underpinning the global economy is far more vulnerable than many imagined.

    The England men's soccer team has plenty of black players, so I doubt if there are any sufficiently talented black female players who have been overlooked on the grounds of race. I am sure that if there were any black girls good enough to be on the team, then they would be given the first opportunity to take penalty kicks.

    My niece played several times for the England women's soccer team a number of years ago, however when she was at a college in the US she had a hard time holding down a starting place since she was unwilling to give the coach blowjobs, which was apparently a prerequisite at the time. After 2-years she transferred to the west coast and thereafter started every game for the next 2 years and obtained a degree in physics.

  36. It looks as if World War T in sports is at last coming to a point of inflexion.

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jul/21/caster-semenya-out-of-world-5000m-as-coe-signals-tougher-female-sport-rules

    Semenya had previously won the world title at 800m three times, including in her last appearance at London 2017, but is now barred from running international events from 400m to a mile unless she takes medication to reduce her testosterone levels.

    That is because in 2019 the court of arbitration for sport ruled that 46 XY 5-ARD individuals with a difference of sex development, such as Semenya, “enjoy a significant sporting advantage … over 46 XX competitors without such DSD” due to biology.

    There has naturally been considerable sympathy for the South African, as she was assigned as female at birth and has faced enormous challenges in her career.

    But Cas noted that Semenya’s advantages came because individuals with 5-ARD “have what is commonly identified as the male chromosomal sex (XY and not XX), male gonads (testes not ovaries) and levels of circulating testosterone in the male range (7.7-29.4 nmol/L), which are significantly higher than the female range (0.06-1.68 nmol/L)”.

    Experts from both sides also agreed the other advantages included “greater lean body mass, larger hearts, higher cardiac output … and larger V02 max than 46 XX individuals”.

    It definitely helps to be an articulate chap with a hatful of Olympic medals if you have to say these things (my emboldening):

    Semenya’s appearance at these world championships came as the World Athletics president, Sebastian Coe, gave his clearest indication yet that the governing body would do more to protect female sport.

    We’ve always been guided by the science, and the science is pretty clear: we know that testosterone is the key determinant in performance,” he said.

    I’m really over having any more of these discussions with second-rate sociologists who sit there trying to tell me or the science community that there may be some issue. There isn’t. Testosterone is the key determinant in performance.

    Coe insisted it was his responsibility to “protect the integrity of women’s sport”.

    We have two categories in our sport: one is age and one is gender,” he added. “Age because we think it’s better that Olympic champions don’t run against 14-year-olds in community sports. And gender because if you don’t have a gender separation, no woman would ever win another sporting event.

    Note that this is the Guardian, talking about the need to “protect female sport” rather than “transphobia”.

    @YetAnotherAnon

    Steve-o, why haven't you already covered XY 5-ARD? I had to look it up:


    5-alpha reductase deficiency is a condition that affects male sexual development before birth and during puberty. People with this condition are genetically male, with one X and one Y chromosome in each cell, and they have male gonads (testes). Their bodies, however, do not produce enough of a ,hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT has a critical role in male sexual development, and a shortage of this hormone disrupts the formation of the external sex organs before birth.
     
    So Caster Semenya, like the other top 400M runners in the sport are men with androgen uptake issues and women are getting tired of sharing locker rooms with leering men built like LSU cornerbacks. There is no "inter-sex" or "trans sex" or "third sex" going on at all, just men with malformed genitals. Adoption of a simple XY chromosomal test would end this nonsense once and for all.

    I bet Britney Griner (who has the voice and mannerisms of a tall, big hippie dude) has the same condition. It seems to be more common among blacks than whites but that's probably one of those "here be dragons" areas that endocrinologists are waved away from.

    “The year 2100 will see eugenics universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man’s new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct. Several European countries and a number of states of the American Union sterilize the criminal and the insane. This is not sufficient. The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.”

    Thanks for that. I liked the clinically cool way of describing sex. Apparently men are 46XY’s and women are 46XX’s. That does conform to my basic definition of man versus woman, but I’m afraid it reads somewhat too clumsily to be adopted for universal use:
    “I strive to embody the 46XYly virtues”.
    Or per Kipling:
    “A 46XX is only a 46XX, but a good cigar is a smoke”.
    I’ll stick to filling in the gender box on forms as “male” instead of “46XY”.

And the urban high schools girls teams stand no chance of winning against the whiter suburb teams.

    I grew up in a dense working-class (but still quite white) urban neighborhood in the early 70s. My parents used to routinely send my five-year-old ass down to the corner store, which was run by an old Jewish couple, Holocaust survivors, to get a quart of milk or some such. Looking back, I think they didn’t really need the quart of milk, they just wanted me to learn how to walk down the street by myself and interact with people. Which was still possible back then, and no one could imagine that it ever would not be.

    Max and Anne still had their camp tattoos, which they displayed without any bother or fuss, the same way my uncles had Navy tattoos. When I asked Anne why she had numbers on her arm, she said, “Oh, it’s because a long time ago a lot of stupid people thought crazy things, or maybe a lot of crazy people thought stupid things, either way it’s nothing you need to worry about.”

    One night my father, a Navy man himself and a total bad-ass, walked into Max and Anne’s shop and found them being held up at gunpoint by three Puerto Ricans. He had the drop on them from behind, and he proceeded to knock the living $hit out of all three of them.

    So the MLS is currently loading up on neck tattooed guys from Central America and ESPN is obsessed with pushing Hispanics to it’s commentary teams making a point to pronounce names and words with the correct but jarring Spanish pronunciation. You even see this in Ted Lasso where the star player is made Mexican because despite their lying eyes white middle class Americans think ‘futbol’ =Mexican despite Mexico famously not being all that great at producing great players and almost no Mexicans have ever played in the Premier League.

    They’re chasing a dragon because most Hispanics are poor and assimilated ones love NFL and NBA. And foreign born people don’t care about the MLS no matter what country they’re from.

    That was always what set apart the sport in the US, it’s middle class-ness, having guys like Landon Donovan and the MLS being a place for white middle class guys to make an okay living in professional sport, it was nice and distinctive. The famous foul-laden match against Italy in the 2006 World Cup was really the nice middle class North West European Americans exacerbated with the Italians ‘furbo’, another European team would have been used to it.

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jul/21/caster-semenya-out-of-world-5000m-as-coe-signals-tougher-female-sport-rules


    Semenya had previously won the world title at 800m three times, including in her last appearance at London 2017, but is now barred from running international events from 400m to a mile unless she takes medication to reduce her testosterone levels.

    That is because in 2019 the court of arbitration for sport ruled that 46 XY 5-ARD individuals with a difference of sex development, such as Semenya, “enjoy a significant sporting advantage … over 46 XX competitors without such DSD” due to biology.

    There has naturally been considerable sympathy for the South African, as she was assigned as female at birth and has faced enormous challenges in her career.

    But Cas noted that Semenya’s advantages came because individuals with 5-ARD “have what is commonly identified as the male chromosomal sex (XY and not XX), male gonads (testes not ovaries) and levels of circulating testosterone in the male range (7.7-29.4 nmol/L), which are significantly higher than the female range (0.06-1.68 nmol/L)”.

    Experts from both sides also agreed the other advantages included “greater lean body mass, larger hearts, higher cardiac output … and larger V02 max than 46 XX individuals”.
     

    It definitely helps to be an articulate chap with a hatful of Olympic medals if you have to say these things (my emboldening):

    Steve-o, why haven’t you already covered XY 5-ARD? I had to look it up:

    5-alpha reductase deficiency is a condition that affects male sexual development before birth and during puberty. People with this condition are genetically male, with one X and one Y chromosome in each cell, and they have male gonads (testes). Their bodies, however, do not produce enough of a ,hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT has a critical role in male sexual development, and a shortage of this hormone disrupts the formation of the external sex organs before birth.

    So Caster Semenya, like the other top 400M runners in the sport are men with androgen uptake issues and women are getting tired of sharing locker rooms with leering men built like LSU cornerbacks. There is no “inter-sex” or “trans sex” or “third sex” going on at all, just men with malformed genitals. Adoption of a simple XY chromosomal test would end this nonsense once and for all.

    I bet Britney Griner (who has the voice and mannerisms of a tall, big hippie dude) has the same condition. It seems to be more common among blacks than whites but that’s probably one of those “here be dragons” areas that endocrinologists are waved away from.

Probably some of this is similar to the complaints in the US about black under-representation in college sports outside of basketball and track: soccer and tennis tend to be pretty girl sports, and the modern minority female demands to be considered as attractive and desirable to society at large as white girls are.

    Nikola Tesla:

    “The year 2100 will see eugenics universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man’s new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct. Several European countries and a number of states of the American Union sterilize the criminal and the insane. This is not sufficient. The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.”

    “I strive to embody the 46XYly virtues”.
    Or per Kipling:

  80. “People who look like me” is one of the most incomprehensible constructions of the antiwhite memeplex. It’s true that people do have a preference for being around others of their own ethnic cohort. But, of course, this would be an argument for cultural homogeneity, not some sort of absurd multi-culti Frankenstein society where one derives “representation” by a pop singer or female soccer player who is the same ethnicity or race as you on the telly.

    It’s just frankly true that there are plenty of people who “look like me” that I can’t stand being around, and find stupid and irritating, and plenty of people who don’t “look like me” at all who are my dearest friends and companions; there are plenty of famous people who “look like me” who should be on Real Raw News, and plenty of people who don’t that I look up to and admire.

    This is not a defense of multiculturalism — it’s rather that multiculturalism, by attempting to preserve silos of ethnic particularity while simultaneously preventing that natural urge from directing itself in directions that would actually be healthy and productive, is an inherently untenable ideology to structure a society around.

    Anyone with a passing familiarity with population statistics would know and understand that outlier groups are always overrepresented in small subpopulations–those with defined characteristics. A woman’s soccer team, much less a national soccer team, is not a random sample of the population. Even a random sample of, say, 25 women, out of the ~28 million females in England would regularly fall short of the 3 non-whites for proportionate representation.

    Generations born 2011- : ??? 2021 census data unavailable until 2023 (armies of clerks hard at work, no IBM tabulating machines for the census)
    Generation born 2007-2011: 77% white (mixed race ramps up, Blair’s “rub their noses in diversity” immigration policy starts to have an effect?)
    Generations born 1977-2006: around 80% white (surprised it held at that level so long. birth or EU migration?)
    Generations born 1967-1976: around 85% white
    Generations born 1952-1971: 90%->80%
    Generations born up to 1951: 95% white

    Those numbers don’t break down who was born in the UK, so for example the 1967 generation (86% white in 2011) presumably grew in a country that was more than 87% white (both in that age cohort and in the population as a whole).

    Let’s say kids going to school now are in a generation that’s around 1/4 non-white. Let’s say the air goes slowly out of the tire on white birth rates. And then we can’t predict the implications of the principle that any non-white is entitled to residence in a white country as long as their country is dysfunctional enough.

    Steve-o, why haven't you already covered XY 5-ARD? I had to look it up:


    5-alpha reductase deficiency is a condition that affects male sexual development before birth and during puberty. People with this condition are genetically male, with one X and one Y chromosome in each cell, and they have male gonads (testes). Their bodies, however, do not produce enough of a ,hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT has a critical role in male sexual development, and a shortage of this hormone disrupts the formation of the external sex organs before birth.
     
    So Caster Semenya, like the other top 400M runners in the sport are men with androgen uptake issues and women are getting tired of sharing locker rooms with leering men built like LSU cornerbacks. There is no "inter-sex" or "trans sex" or "third sex" going on at all, just men with malformed genitals. Adoption of a simple XY chromosomal test would end this nonsense once and for all.

    I bet Britney Griner (who has the voice and mannerisms of a tall, big hippie dude) has the same condition. It seems to be more common among blacks than whites but that's probably one of those "here be dragons" areas that endocrinologists are waved away from.

Female soccer embodies many of the most deeply-held values of white American upper middle class families: gender equality; parental (especially paternal) investment in their children; organized practice instead of play; ambitions for college scholarships; tacit race and class segregation via spending; and chauffeuring … lots and lots of chauffeurin

    It will be interesting to see how well women’s soccer continues to do under this theory that its popularity is a function of revealed preferences of the white upper middle class (howsoever cloaked in plausible deniability).

    Twenty years ago when the women’s team had its first encounter with popularity the women were somewhat attractive, bright, healthy looking and wholesome with pony tails of long pretty hair. They presented themselves as the kinds of girls anyone wouldn’t mind his daughter growing up to become because they seemed to avoid becoming entirely vapid and boy-crazy. But now twenty years on many of the most popular players have revealed themselves to be women who love women, and some of the women they love are on the same team or on opposing teams. The current iteration of the team has lots of clipped, unnaturally died hair and tattoos and the kind of faux, unconvincing toughness and arrogance that only a woman would try to put on.

    Is white upper middle class America comfortable enough with the Alphabet gang to actually deliver their precious little girls to what is an apparent pipeline to lesbianism? I always surmised that GBLT+ was something that the upper middle class used as a class marker and wedge to distinguish themselves from and against downscale whites but given the choice in secret they’d always choose to have straight children who give them grandchildren. I’m just not so sure anymore and it seems like many have over time convinced themselves of what were once their faux luxury opinions by so passionately arguing the alphabet cause for so long.

    Don’t do that! People who can’t or won’t integrate do not belong in your nation.

    How dare there be any majority-white countries anyway? Haven’t we fixed that yet? Also it’s just a conspiracy theory.

    gets at the gist of it:

    You can live with these differences, as long as it is understood the nation belongs to its people. But once you introduce minoritarianism–diversity as an ideology–and stoke minority whining and grievance then you have a toxic brew.

    Better to never have let them come, but pitching them out as soon as they start whining is the only actual solution after that.

    It looks as if World War T in sports is at last coming to a point of inflexion.

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jul/21/caster-semenya-out-of-world-5000m-as-coe-signals-tougher-female-sport-rules


    Semenya had previously won the world title at 800m three times, including in her last appearance at London 2017, but is now barred from running international events from 400m to a mile unless she takes medication to reduce her testosterone levels.

    That is because in 2019 the court of arbitration for sport ruled that 46 XY 5-ARD individuals with a difference of sex development, such as Semenya, “enjoy a significant sporting advantage … over 46 XX competitors without such DSD” due to biology.

    There has naturally been considerable sympathy for the South African, as she was assigned as female at birth and has faced enormous challenges in her career.

    But Cas noted that Semenya’s advantages came because individuals with 5-ARD “have what is commonly identified as the male chromosomal sex (XY and not XX), male gonads (testes not ovaries) and levels of circulating testosterone in the male range (7.7-29.4 nmol/L), which are significantly higher than the female range (0.06-1.68 nmol/L)”.

    Experts from both sides also agreed the other advantages included “greater lean body mass, larger hearts, higher cardiac output … and larger V02 max than 46 XX individuals”.
     

    It definitely helps to be an articulate chap with a hatful of Olympic medals if you have to say these things (my emboldening):

    Semenya’s appearance at these world championships came as the World Athletics president, Sebastian Coe, gave his clearest indication yet that the governing body would do more to protect female sport.

    We’ve always been guided by the science, and the science is pretty clear: we know that testosterone is the key determinant in performance,” he said.

    I'm really over having any more of these discussions with second-rate sociologists who sit there trying to tell me or the science community that there may be some issue. There isn’t. Testosterone is the key determinant in performance.

    Coe insisted it was his responsibility to “protect the integrity of women’s sport”.

    We have two categories in our sport: one is age and one is gender,” he added. “Age because we think it’s better that Olympic champions don’t run against 14-year-olds in community sports. And gender because if you don’t have a gender separation, no woman would ever win another sporting event.
     

    Note that this is the Guardian, talking about the need to "protect female sport" rather than "transphobia".

    Anyone would feel sorry for Castor Semenya, a rare genetic outlier. But not really a girl.

    I think you are correct. I was surprised to discover earlier this summer that the UK overall about in the same position we were in1970 before 50 years of mass migration started. They are only 3% black for example and have slightly more Asians than blacks. That really puts a different spin on the complaints of minorities about not being represented. Of course there aren't many of you on Tv; there aren't many of you as a percentage of the overall population!

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/270386/ethnicity-in-the-united-kingdom/

    They can still make decisions that are different than ours and they do not get nearly the number of illegal immigrants that we do.

    London of course is far different:

    "London was the most ethnically and religiously diverse region in England and Wales where the largest ethnic groups were White British (43.4%), Other White (14.6%) and Black African (7.9%); people with a religion other than Christian accounted for over 25% of London's population compared with an estimated 10.6% of the overall population."

    Yes and no.

    Moving from England to UK whitens the picture a bit. But in England in 2011, already 5% black in the US sense, with the “mixed” included; and another 8% “Asian”. And that’s 2011, the 2021 figures will drop soon and be more much more “diverse”.

    Yes, this is considerably better with regard to black% than the US–pretty much any time since 1619. (Really was a watershed.)

    But the critical aspect is ideology. In 1970, although the minoritarians were charging through the institutions, elbowing their way into power and spreading their filth, the nation itself was still in reasonable shape ideologically. In contrast, Britain right now is already defeated ideologically.
    Their “elites” have swilled up American minoritarianism and enforce it with totalitarian zeal.

    So yeah, the UKs demographics are better–right now— than the US was in 1970. But they have no way to stay there because they are in much, much worse shape ideologically–in terms of preserving their nation.

    It looks as if World War T in sports is at last coming to a point of inflexion.

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jul/21/caster-semenya-out-of-world-5000m-as-coe-signals-tougher-female-sport-rules


    Semenya had previously won the world title at 800m three times, including in her last appearance at London 2017, but is now barred from running international events from 400m to a mile unless she takes medication to reduce her testosterone levels.

    That is because in 2019 the court of arbitration for sport ruled that 46 XY 5-ARD individuals with a difference of sex development, such as Semenya, “enjoy a significant sporting advantage … over 46 XX competitors without such DSD” due to biology.

    There has naturally been considerable sympathy for the South African, as she was assigned as female at birth and has faced enormous challenges in her career.

    But Cas noted that Semenya’s advantages came because individuals with 5-ARD “have what is commonly identified as the male chromosomal sex (XY and not XX), male gonads (testes not ovaries) and levels of circulating testosterone in the male range (7.7-29.4 nmol/L), which are significantly higher than the female range (0.06-1.68 nmol/L)”.

    Experts from both sides also agreed the other advantages included “greater lean body mass, larger hearts, higher cardiac output … and larger V02 max than 46 XX individuals”.
     

    It definitely helps to be an articulate chap with a hatful of Olympic medals if you have to say these things (my emboldening):

    Semenya’s appearance at these world championships came as the World Athletics president, Sebastian Coe, gave his clearest indication yet that the governing body would do more to protect female sport.

    We’ve always been guided by the science, and the science is pretty clear: we know that testosterone is the key determinant in performance,” he said.

    I'm really over having any more of these discussions with second-rate sociologists who sit there trying to tell me or the science community that there may be some issue. There isn’t. Testosterone is the key determinant in performance.

    Coe insisted it was his responsibility to “protect the integrity of women’s sport”.

    We have two categories in our sport: one is age and one is gender,” he added. “Age because we think it’s better that Olympic champions don’t run against 14-year-olds in community sports. And gender because if you don’t have a gender separation, no woman would ever win another sporting event.
     

    Note that this is the Guardian, talking about the need to "protect female sport" rather than "transphobia".

    Anyone would feel sorry for Castor Semenya, a rare genetic outlier. But not really a girl.

    I bet Britney Griner (who has the voice and mannerisms of a tall, big hippie dude) has the same condition. It seems to be more common among blacks than whites but that’s probably one of those “here be dragons” areas that endocrinologists are waved away from.
     
    I'm not going to link it here but someone on twitter posted video of Griner shooting hoops topless and it was one of the more bizarre things I've seen in a while. Griner doesn't have breasts to speak of - she looks like a 13 year old boy from the neck down. I'm not exaggerating for effect. Literally no breast development whatsoever. There do not appear to be surgical scars of the kind that "trans men" have. Do an image/video search if you want and join me in the abyss.

    Second hypothesis: nobody looks too hard at athletes and 5-ARD because it seems more prevalent among blacks. Or maybe we’re just seeing a self-selected set of athletic blacks. Any way, there are loads of questions that pop up but they’re all in those scary “here be dragonz” areas where people would fall off the edge of the Earth or something.

    Today, about 78% of the people in England and Wales are white. This is down considerably from 1950, when there were 50 million people in England, and about 20,000 PoC (almost all born overseas), which is about 99.96% white.

    Fear not, wokesters. Just watch modern BBC dramas about the old days, where they are busily altering the past to change the future.

    "Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future."

    Shows like Grantchester and Call the Midwife purport to show England in the 1950's, but there are far more blacks, Indians, gays and lesbians than demographic evidence would support. That doesn't stop the BBC from their diligent propaganda efforts.

    Modern-day English people have no idea about their country's real demographics. I'd recommend restricting their television viewing to shows like Foyle's War and All Creatures Great and Small, both of which were made long ago.
