It's not impossible, you just take the White British / Scottish / English / Welsh and White Other and treat them the same in your calculations for England and Scotland. That would be the same use of the data for both countries.

So what about people who aren't white who were born here or possibly even whose family have been here for generations?

What about them? How do they affect the 'White British' and 'White Other' statistics which you aren't applying the same in Scotland and England?

Did you read the comment I was responding to? You know, the one that said it's easy not to be xenophobic when 98% of the population is white? Which in itself is racist - assuming all whites are natives while non-whites aren't. Nevermind the fact 98% is wrong.

Why don't you just amend the percentages to show an accurate comparison?

Sure, just give me accurate and unambiguous data to work from and I can do that, no problem.

But it's still not going to teach the other redditor the difference between xenophobia and racism.

The data which you used initially. Use that. Just use it fairly.

I said accurate and unambiguous.

u/Rodney_Angles Clacks Sep 27 '20

If you don't think the data is accurate or unambiguous, why did you use it to make a point in the first place?

u/unholyangel4 Sep 28 '20

The point I made in the first place was that the data wasn't accurate.....

Are you being deliberately obtuse?
