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.

  • He links to a wikipedia article and cites a percentage for "native brits". That number on the wikipedia page is for white brits.

    The only groups who could call themselves indigenous to Britain are the Celts, the Cornish, and the Bretons. The English (Anglo-Saxon) culture is foreign to the British isles.

    Even then, none of this is related to skin tone. It's the culture that defines these potentially indigenous Celtic groups.

      White Brits are the only indigenous, native Brits 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."

      QED.

      Glad you finally agree and admit to this.

      >It's the culture that defines these potentially indigenous Celtic groups.

      English culture is the current indigenous, native culture to England.
