You’d be hard-pressed nowadays to know there are any white people in America/Europe, much less that they are the MAJORITY, if the commercials and pop culture movies are any indication.
This is what it's like now. Imagine what it's going to be like in 20 years.
You can't imagine anything good, can you?
In ten years the west went from begrudgingly hiring white men because they get shit done to outright adopting an "a few million deaths by negligence and incompetence are a small price to pay for diversity" mindset. I'm expecting boxcars by 2030, unless the Saxon can begin to hate before then.
The English.
The poem (Kipling's "The Beginnings") was calling for the English to hate the evil Saxons (of Saxony), reflecting the author's own mood after the Germans killed his own son in France and murdered civilians in England and elsewhere.

Tarrant lied to you.
Eh I wouldn't trust the Kipling society. They've been trying to "rehabilitate" his image.
I should be clear: The poem is about the English, yes. I just don't think you should trust the society.
