If someone points out to me that French people are literally invading South Kensington area and act like it's their home and do whatever they please while not caring about pissing off British lads for doing so, my response is usually:
yes, you are right, I agree with you, this is not acceptable and shouldn't happen, and this kind of entitled behaviour is absolutely a trait that some French people have a strong tendency of exhibiting, unfortunately, and it understandably irritates many locals, and if ever French get violently kicked out from the area at some point, I will approve
Not:
how dare you bunch me in with these people, you anti-French bigot? just because I'm French means I'm careless and disrespectful, is that what you say?
As far as what you are saying, so are you ok with the left constantly bitching about white people? Nothing wrong with saying look at these white people or these white people? You just go along with them? As far as French people "invading," I would not be ok with them being violently kicked out, but I am in favor French people in your anecdote to behave as locals do. As strange as it might sound, I take everything on individualistic level, instead of bunching people in groups.

I agree with you on principle, but completely obliterating the "group" aspect is also a mistake. Humans are social creatures and whatever you or I may think, group reasoning has always been a huge factor in how people behave. Never mind how autonomous and self-educated you think your choices are, a lot of them are in fact driven by subconscious group reasoning.
are you ok with the left constantly bitching about white people?
No, because they're constantly bitching about false issues. Like white patriarchy or white privilege or white racism or white supremacy or (white male) gender pay gap. 95% of this is BS. If they were "bitching" about real issues then I'd be much more okay with that.
For instance, I'd be happy that they bitch about the submissiveness of white people in general and how permeable they are to propaganda and being labeled any kinds of names. That's a genuine issue, but one which is never talked about by the left.
The idea of group think is not alien to me, which is my point to begin with, namely ideology. If you look through my comments, you will see me saying that we are fighting an ideology not race or nationality. As far as you admitting that what the left does is despicable when it comes to white people, then why do you not see the same when it comes to Jews? I doubt you will argue that there are no bad white people, however what the left did with making sure that races clash, is dividing us along race lines. Constantly pointing to one nationality will do the same on the right. Here is an experiment, pick any race or nationality and constantly look for "evil" ones, but make sure you mention that race and nationality and make sure to group them with the bad ones, then see how fast that nationality/race will recoil and turn away from you.
I happen to be French citizen living in the UK.
