With the country England

"White" is associated with European descent (not just English), just like "black" is associated with African descent even though some African Americans, for example, have lighter skin. It's not so much about the color of one's skin. People of Pakistani, Indian and African descent may have lighter skin but they are not "white".

That's like saying there are "more" Mexicans, mixed and Natives in America. It should not be a "White" country.

Are you saying the USA or England should not be a white country?

[Avicenna]

Because not only are they still the majority population but they are the indigenous population as well.

Bc they are immigrants...
English people are white for over 1k years. Same with other European countries.
And Pakistani are brownish. U would never think that a white dude is Indian..

[Asker]

I believe if somebody is born in a country they aren’t a immigrant

So a hamster born in a stable is a horse?

Anyway according to this white people have been living in Britain for about 12,000 years. Not a 1 thousand.

but British is a nationality so I believe people who are not white can also be British if they were born there

[RyanK9b]

At least 1k as some sort of British.
But its your opinion. I don't think they can be bc their culture and tradition is not replaceable with just other people. Pakistani born there will never be act behave and have passion to be a British bc they just don't share the same history

[In_Trance]

Because white is what's originally there
