Not all English people are white.

No, all English people are white unless they are English mixed. Not all English citizens are white. There is a difference.

Just like all Polish people are white. However; not all Polish citizens are.

That's pretty bullshit. If you've been living there long enough to have an english ethnicity, then you're English, regardless of skin colour.

With that sort of logic I should be able to call myself a Native American versus an American citizen since my family has been here for generations.

Mmmm...noo-oo. The Native American vs. American comparison would be more Celtic/Gaelic vs. English, really. English is English is English.

So I'm not English now? Thank you for telling me :D!

What's your ethnic background? You are that but also a citizen of England.

Put it another way, if your family stayed the same ethnic background as you are now but lived in Japan for generations, would you call yourself Japanese? If not, how is this any different?

I'd call myself a British-Asian; my parents came here from India, and I was born here.

Yes, I would call myself Japanese if that was the case; I've met people who have lived in ,say, Trindad for generations and their ancestors came from parts of India or Africa, and I think they have the full right to call themselves Trini.

And there have been people of all sorts of colours living here for at least a thousand years. If they aren't British, then no one is.

And there have been people of all sorts of colours living here for at least a thousand years.

For a thousand years? Asians have been to England for a thousand years? Africans have been to England for a thousand years? North Americans have been to England for a thousand years? South Americans have been to England for a thousand years? Citation please.

Romans, Britons, Normans, Anglo-Saxons have been to England for thousands of years. Basically, Europeans. Or "white people" as some might say. If they wanted to trade, they would send out ships. If they wanted slaves, they would enslave their neighbors. It was pretty much one hue for the longest.

Trinidad isn't Japan. Trinidad is not even the native name for the Island. It comes from the Latin word for Trinity. And it's more like America than Japan in that Trinidad itself was a colony for many European countries. Japan, on the other hand, is very homogenized in its culture. You might think you are Japanese if you are there long enough. You might call yourself Japanese. But no one ethnically Japanese will call you that. You will always be the gaijin.

I'm sorry that you missed my point. I'm sorry that you, as an American, are deciding how the ethnic backgrounds of British people should be divided. :(

And no, I can't be bothered to cite anything. Learn the history yourself; maybe then you will stop being an overgeneralising fool spewing their idiocy over the internet, but I highly doubt it.

Oh, you are made of awesome for using sarcasm. Especially when you say that I don't have any right to state my opinion. Should I shut up now and sit in the corner like a good little American? Because I am sure you as an English citizen have never said anything about how Americans run things or done things or how they are in general. No, never.

Having an opinion on how things are done in a country you don't live in is somewhat (and when I say "somewhat", I mean "screamingly and blindingly obviously") different from deciding who is or isn't a member of a particular nationality when you don't live in said country.

You don't live the history, you don't get to make that decision.

Did you miss this part...Because I am sure you as an English citizen have never said anything about how Americans run things or done things or how they are in general.

I am sure as I have a pulse she has.

Again,

THE POINT

YOUR HEAD.

Goodnight.

Good night.
Sleep tight.
Don't let the bed bugs bite.

All your responses in this thread have been awesome but this one is the best. :DDDDDD

Amen.
