That word doesn't mean what you think it means.

I didn't ask you about immigration policies. You're sperging about immigrants, so I've asked you how exactly can you tell some one is an immigrant. Since you know of so many immigrants you obviously know how to pick them out, so come on, how do you do it?

Walk around Mile End. You will soon hone your skills.

Plus I feel that the city has lost its cultural identity.

What is its cultural identity? And how has this been lost?

He mistook London for Birmingham....

Casual stereotyping aside though, I completely agree with you.

There are certainly some areas of London that are more inclined to one race... And that applies both ways. Some places you may struggle to spot a white person, in others you may struggle to spot anything but white people...

That's fantastic in some ways. Chinatown is amazing if you like anything chinese etc... etc...

So what's the significance of the concentration of white people? Why is it important, and what does it have to do with anything?

I'm laughing at the fact that the press , the news/sports channel's etc thinks everyone outside of London gives a toss about the Olympics. We don't.

OP, what is your definition of a native?

What does "giving a toss" constitute?

It does not feel British any more. I feel like a foreigner in the capitol city of my country.

Disagree on the foreigners thing, thats the only bit that makes london semi bearable.

Agree with your other points though..

Hold up... When did balddog return?! I must be late to the party in only just noticing this. Or did you never leave?

Define 'British'.

You need to start giving definitions of what you're saying. Define "British" and "foreigner", how you tell the two apart, and the importance of them.

That is a very good question. I would describe a native as being a British national with some ancestral connection to the country.

I think everyone here should give their heads a proper shake. A lot of people here on the forums, and in this thread, mean that they don't like seeing the darkies in London and other cities, hence the 'losing its cultural' identity wailing. Pointless trying to debate it, it is what it is. You won't change the hearts and minds. Just be thankful that most of the detractors seem to live far away in little bum**** towns and nowhere near the bright lights of London.

What is a British Natural, and how can you tell who is one by sight?

And those of us INSIDE London, are on bended knees, praying for it to be over and everyone to clear off so things can go back to normal.

You ask while you know?

Yeah, I don't think the tubes could cope with much more. I can already see breakdowns, screwups, etc.

I know what a British Natural is, I'm asking what he thinks one is. He's being quite vague, I can't tell if it's on purpose or not.

That's what you 'feel'. You're entitled to your opinion.

What exactly about London makes you feel like a foreigner?
