You seem to have got it backwards: When it's done by whites – or actually, anglophone whites – it's not even called immigration, because immigration is bad. When others, i.e. non-anglophone non-whites, do it, that is.

Not at all.

>When it's done by whites – or actually, anglophone whites – it's not even called immigration

It's called "gentrification", and it's bad according to the left.

>When others, i.e. non-anglophone non-whites, do it, that is.

When non-Whites do it it's openly celebrated, and more is called for.

You seem to have got it backwards.

Moving to another country is called "gentrification"? What the fuck are you gibbering about?

When white people do it, it's a negative. Keep up. Stop being Europhobic/Anglophobic.

Bullpucky. When white people immigrate, it's perfectly normal. I should know: I've done it not once but twice.

But when white anglophone people do it, it's not only normal, but so extra-chic that they're not even called immigrants but "expats". Pointing out that this is a bit of a silly level of privilege is hardly "Anglophobic". (On the contrary, your claiming that it is comes off as rather like bigoted white Americans wailing that "It's really the white man who's oppressed nowadays" when their privilege is pointed out to them.)

And as a born and bred lifelong European I don't think I'm particularly "Europhobic" either.
