Turning the Tables: Exposing the Anti-White Racist Underbelly of Progressive Policies, By Brian Simpson and Paul Walker

Recent media attacks on academics who defend Anglo-Celtic heritage highlight a deeper problem: the way progressive ideology celebrates the erosion of white majorities, deconstructs "whiteness" as a pathology, and treats Anglo-Saxon cultural roots as something shameful. What is presented as progress increasingly looks like a form of anti-white racism.

This pattern is not confined to universities. Global leaders have openly welcomed the decline of white majorities as a marker of diversity, framing it as redemption rather than as a seismic social shift. In classrooms, cultural studies programs embrace "decolonisation" as a demographic inevitability, while Anglo-Europeans are recast as relics of a guilty past.

Yet these transformations occur without direct democratic consent. Australia's shift to multiculturalism was never put to referendum. More recently, annual net migration has surged into the hundreds of thousands, fuelling housing and cost-of-living pressures. Polls consistently show that nearly half of Australians want immigration reduced, yet intake levels are expanded as though opposition were illegitimate. That is less democracy than demographic engineering.

Meanwhile, the academy hosts a thriving "critical whiteness" industry, where Anglo-European identity is dissected as the root of oppression. Workshops on "unsettling whiteness" or "confronting racial privilege" function as collective shaming exercises. By contrast, no comparable "critical blackness" or "critical indigeneity" programs exist to interrogate pride movements in other groups. "Black excellence" is celebrated; "All Lives Matter" is condemned. The asymmetry is glaring.

The result is a selective essentialism. White identity is uniquely positioned as something to be dismantled, while other identities are upheld as sacrosanct. This produces policies such as diversity quotas, which preference non-white applicants, and curricula that mark Anglo history as inherently suspect. Scholars have described this phenomenon as "Anglophobia" — an entrenched bias against Anglo-European peoples that manifests in cultural erasure and stereotyping.

The broader effect is social distrust. Ordinary citizens see rapid demographic shifts pushed from above, coupled with cultural narratives that vilify their heritage, and respond with resentment. That resentment is not necessarily rooted in prejudice, but in the perception of erasure.

The remedy lies in symmetry and consent. If cultural identities are to be deconstructed, then all should be open to critique, not only white ones. If immigration reshapes a nation's identity, citizens should be given a say through referendums or binding consultations. And if heritage matters, Anglo-Celtic traditions deserve respect alongside every other group.

Academic institutions that claim to defend freedom of thought must be willing to tolerate controversial speech, not suppress it. Otherwise, the promise of equity becomes little more than a weaponised inversion, where one group's diminishment is dressed up as social justice. And it is good reason to defund and close down such universities.
