If you were born in Japan would you be Japanese?
Ever heard of Jus soli? Sadly Japan is one of the countries that still follows Jus sanguinis policy, which requires you to be of the native blood; so you wouldn't. Do you think you have 100% Northern European genes?
Or would you be a Japanese citizen? Is there a difference between being "ethnically" Japanese and being a Japanese citizen? Is being "British" the same thing as being a British citizen? It seems to me that plenty of British Citizens describe themselves as Pakistani or Indian rather than British. Could it simply be that different people see the term "British" in different terms?
I'm quite happy that we have a Jus soli policy, which means that anyone born here is entitled to call themselves British. It is part of what makes this nation Great. Also I think you'll find as well as labelling themselves Indian or Pakistani, they usually have the moniker British in front of it.
Do you have to look somewhat Japanese to "be" Japanese?
It seems to me that most people apply different rules to being "british" than they apply to people who claim to be African or Japanese in so much as British is not considered to be an historical grouping of people whereas Japanese is.
One thing the BNP love is our former Empire, guess what Britain brought it's culture (and prosperity at a price) to other genotypes. Were people born in parts of the British Empire not British? I guess in a way British has taken to mean something more than Japanese since Britain has always been a multiracial society, since the first wave of migrations over 2000 years ago.
We have always mixed cultures and genes, we have just got to the point where we have more diverse genes beings mixed. Which is a a good thing because a wider amalgamation of genes strengthens the gene pool. Culture is a transient social program that is ever changing and something you cannot stop.
Sadly the BNP just fear this change and the people who are different, so they want to close our borders and send back non-white people to their races place of origin. They fear the Islamification on this country, which is a threat that has been blown out of all proportion.
I am sure that if you went back a mere 100 years then most people around the world would describe a British man as primarily being "white" and as having descendents that were historically from the British Isles. Perhaps all that has changed is that some people have forgotten the difference between "race" and "citizenship".
If you went back 100 years the British Empire still controlled large parts of the world, were people born in the colonies not part of that?
People have not forgotten the difference between race and citizenship, it's just most people realise that race shouldn't effect how you regard someone.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'"
Sadly there are elements in the BNP that still believe in the superiority of the White race.
