The British strongly opposed American segregation during World War II. When over a million U.S. troops arrived in the UK, American military leaders tried to force the British to adopt their racist rules. The British public and government refused.

British civilians and business owners were shocked by American racism. Pub landlords and shopkeepers frequently ignored U.S. segregation demands. Some even put up signs banning white American soldiers in order to protect black american troops. Locals amicably chatted with black GIs the same as they did with any white person, something unthinkable in the american south.
Many black entertainers like singers and actors found fame in britain with locals respecting their talent

Attempts by white U.S. military police to enforce segregation rules on British streets sometimes led to violent fights, with locals coming to defend the black soldiers.

Segregation in the military was loosely enforced at best. It was more a thing at the beginning of the war but by the middle and end of the war nobody gave a shit when push came to shove

Say what you want about the English, but they fought fiercely and fervently for their goal of complete replacement migration, trans rights, abolition of the family and the destruction and eternal humiliation of White Europeans. In every other country back then the presence of African troops was detested. The Germans hated the humiliation of French-African troops governing over them, their racial superiors. France themselves made sure to never do the same in their homeland.

Racial segregation worked and the USA completely replaced the UK as the #1 world superpower. Today, China is replacing the USA and practices segregation.

Brits are funny because they've always been condescending to nations they deem as racist despite running the largest colonial empire of all time. Like how else do you justify colonialism other than scientific racial superiority?
Whenever I talk to a British nationalist, my take away of their belief system is "racism is le good when we do it and le bad whenever anyone else does it"

This is true Nationalist Bongs are the most biased creatures on the planet.

"true Nationalist Bongs" don't exist today, at best you'll just get neo-Toryists that want a return to a more traditional flavor of British civic-nationalism

Yes. We should each practice our area of expertise. Should we not?

It didn't.

Not replaced, there was a vacuum for the postion.

It doesn't unless you think China zoning rural Chinese out of the city is racial segregation.

Americans did the mistake of not doing that in Africa or doing it in non-Bong approved ways.

The British unironically believed in their civilizational supremacy being able to civilize all races under their Imperial sun

>>18533169
>alien cultural practices
The UK at that time had major racial discrimination in the country and in their colonies.
>>
American officers writing home were horrified at their black troops being treated like human beings by the "nigger-loving" Bongs and worried what effect it would have on the blacks when they came home to the Land of the Free and had to suffer segregation again.

By being foreign, your common or garden 'darkie' was outside the class system. They were inherently suspect and inferior due to the sad flaw of being foreign, of course, but politeness cost nothing.
"Politeness" - funnily enough, that likely cut both ways, thanks to segregation. The black GI, having grown up under that system where you didn't say boo to a goose, let alone a white person, would have seemed far more polite and personable than the stereotypical Brash Yank.
>>18533431
I've genuinely wondered at the influence on the civil rights movement of WW2 showing the enlisted black man that life didn't necessarily work that way outside the USA. And 15-20 years or so later is the time where a lot of those once-young men are now hitting middle age, seeing their own children grow up and start really thinking about the ways of the world.

>>18533431
The UK sent Asians and Africans back without much worry.

Then again they looked down on them so much that they genuinely didn't realize how much of an impact training the living labor unit in modern warfare, seeing Europe in a mess+lower class whites working bottom tier jobs, or getting sent to almost die in some foreign land and getting beat but your CO would be. They actually believed they could just lock Pandora's box up and throw it in the closet.

Fun Fact. The indian army actually mutinied right after the war because the british troops kept calling them slurs like 'junglee', 'black beast' and 'coolie' constantly. The mutiny sped up indian independence

Yeah dude, why don't you park your car on or near an MLK Jr. street and walk around for a bit. Tell me if they were right or not?

Extremely overused retort countless of TV shows have mentioned. How does one street you heard about somehow justifies racially abusing your own soldiers and citizens? We can literally use any example we pull out our asses to justify being a total psycho. I can use stagnating or dropping reading test scores to justify cutting back on education.

There's like countless MLK streets anyways and most are mundane like mostly being roads or a small street.

There is no evidence of this

The Japanese should've dropped that. Would've destroyed the fighting capacity and command cohesion of US troops in the Pacific.

Yeah but to nowhere near the same codified degree as the United States. Remember, Ghandi famously got kicked off a passenger train in South Africa after ordering a 1st Class ticket because while attending school in the United Kingdom, he was able to order such luxuries without problems and was completely unfamiliar with (pre-)Apartheid laws where 1st Class travel was restricted to Whites ones.

>Yeah but to nowhere near the same codified degree as the United States.
But they did in the colonies woth many laws explicitly made to cement the colonial order and actions like stripping land from the people. Also students still faced discrimination in the UK.
>>
>>18536473
It was one white guy who objected to his presence and the train had to remove Ghandi from the train. If ONE person could do it that's sign there already was a codified or a de facto rule thay lets people do that.

Pajeet private travel and migration were limited by commonwealth law, I understand. When they liberalized that, the Canadians blockaded it through a number of course regulations and physically prevented a blockade runner ship of Pajeet migrants from docking at one of their ports.
Likewise, the Chinese coolies serving in France during WW1 were shipped through Canada in sealed railway wagons.
