As someone who doesn't give two shits about DHH, I legit had no idea what the post was referring to, so I've read the article.
It's grossly xenophobic and racist. The entire article is premised on the notion that non-"native Brits" are not actually British and do not actually embody British culture. This is fallacious for two reasons:
It then attributes the supposed shift in culture to a shift in demographics rather than globalization and cultural mixing online that we've seen impact countries like South Korea and Japan.
The best interpretation I can give for the article is a Boomer's incoherent ramblings, and the default interpretation I'd have is that he's a white supremacist as he seems to look down on those he considers foreign.
This statement, taken literally and without context, would be easy to make (again ignoring anything but the literal text). However, given the contents of the article, this is not what he's saying. I'll rephrase this statement to what he's saying, with connotations made explicit:
Not racist? Not xenophobic? Lol.
