What the hell are you on about.
"Native brit" does not identify a people the way "native american" does.
There is no entry in the dictionary for "native brit".
This is all I'm talking about.
Quit trolling.

"The English people are an ethnic group [...] native to England." [0]
"[White Brits] is an ethnicity classification used for the White population identifying as English..." [1]
The English are the native and indigenous ethnic group to England (London). White Brits are a category that includes the English.

The English are not indigenous to Britain. The best case for an indigenous culture is the Celts, Cornish, and Welsh.
None of this has anything to do with being white, it's the language that defines belonging to these groups.
>The English are not indigenous to Britain.
False. The English are the extant indigenous people to England, and descend from ancient populations: "The English largely descend from two main historical population groups: the West Germanic tribes, including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes who settled in eastern and southern Britain following the withdrawal of the Western Roman Empire, and the Romano-British Brittonic speakers who already lived there."

Those are also "White Brits" who are indigenous to their respective areas.
>None of this has anything to do with being white
Glad you finally agree and admit to this.
>it's the language that defines belonging to these groups.
English language and culture is the current indigenous, native culture to England.

OP was trying to talk about ethnic brits, and I think that was clear from the context. He was then rebuked for that.
The OP was me. I pointed out how DHH's uses the term "native brit" to mean "white person" even though that is not the meaning of "native", which means you were born somewhere.
>I pointed out how DHH's uses the term "native brit" to mean "white person"
Nowhere in his post does he mention "White person." He specifically mentions "native Brits." The only indigenous Brits native to the Britain are White Brits.
