1/3rd to be 'non white

[Mich the Tester]

Comin' over 'ere, considering identifying themselves with Britain...whatever next?

People from ethnic minority backgrounds also have a far stronger association with being British than the white population, the report says.

That could be because the white population are afraid to hang a Union Flag/St Georges flag etc for fear of upsetting the minorities where as the minorities don't have the same fear.

I'm trying to work out how the white population is constant but accounts for 20% of the population growth.

yep odd that.I think the Mail reporter's calculator broke.

What % of the white population would like to hang a flag as per your description but is afraid to do so?

What's the definition of white?

In the UK we define our own ethnicity. If I want to say I'm Asian I can. My mother was born in India, so why not?

In the US, they have the 'one drop' rule - if you have any black ancestry, you're black. Which means large numbers of white Americans (including some pretty racist ones) are technically black 'cause great grandpappy couldn't keep his pants on round the slave girls.

Interesting question. Not sure there is any real answer as some are very proud of their heritage and some embarrassed.

Yes that one drop rule amuses me. I suppose that makes me French & Italian?

Naah, choose Basque and Corsican then you get a free chip for your shoulder.

Same as the UKIP calculator. Pick a number you like out of thin air, any number which makes the case you want to make.
Then keep repeating it.
