"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.
