He thinks they're white. You know this as well as I do. Your line of questioning is moot really as you'll never get him, and others of his kind to admit that.

Yep. Thankfully I'm working from home. Far from the maddening crowds.
If that's what he thinks, I don't get the issue with him coming out and saying it. He is brash enough to infer it, yet can't come out and say it properly? Maybe he has a complex highly intelligent system of determining a foreigner by sight.

Your 25, the change from White British in London is down 2% in ten years if that really has ruined your life and city you're being a bit precious.
Yes, thank you, that is exactly it. This is how I feel and based on my opinions. It's just not a place I can warm to.

The fact that just about everyone else seems to be suggesting there's a high concentration of black people...
I'm pointing out that depending where you are in London will depend on whether you have a particular concentration of any single race, or a mix or any kind of selection... It just depends in London where you are...

Surely you must be able to tell he's either trolling and having fun, or just randomly stupid? His short and abrupt answer should be the first clue.
I never mentioned anything about White British. I don't believe you need to be white to be British. But I do think you need to speak English and abide by our rules. I am not white.
Talking about black/brown people, and I hope there's a few posting here. Do you ever get tired of listening to the same old same old all the time? People here moan about it, in America they do, in Australia you had riots, South Africa apartheid, Eastern Europe is pretty much no go. I'm .... desperately bored of listening to it. How does it feel for you folks?
His last post is exactly why I've been saying what I've been saying. It might have seemed like he was pointing at that, but I don't like to assume some one is saying something.
Again though, how do you tell some one is British by sight? If you don't think you need to be white to be British, what is it?
I already told you what it is. Several people on here have jumped to conclusions it seems. For example, women walking down the high street in Burkhas is not part of the British cultural identity.
**** off then, London's better without you

It feels weird. We're no different to anyone else. Plus there's the fact that the only passport I have is a British passport. I'm being hated on because I happen to have more melanin that white people, I can't help it
don't you live in north london ? which is populated with black/brown people - i do and i don't find it annoying in anyway :/ i just don't get what the problem is with other people what does colour have to do with anything? what does being from another part of the world have anything to do with the way you are? we all are humans and we all have the same right to be where ever we want on the damn planet.
I'm very light brown (mixed race). I'm not really bothered as such by it, more perplexed. I'm extremely interested in the psychology behind it as well. The most amusing thing about the whole thing though is that the most vocal anti-chocolate people brigade, especially the ones who go on about race preservation, will have quite a varied make up, just like the rest of us.
Most of these people focus on skin colour because it's really the only way they can rationalise their broken mentality, but the reality is there's a lot of "brown" people here that have a stronger ancestral route within the UK than some "white" families. Sensible people know skin colour means very little outside of what shade make up to buy if you're a woman.
That's the amusing thing, it's oft assumed that brown = foreign despite the fact that brown people make are very much part of the native population.
I don't get why people think it's important though. What exactly is with people who MUST be around people who are mostly white? I don't see what difference it makes to anything.

The US weirdly (because of it's history in the last 100 years) has a much healthier attitude to talking about race than we do. Whilst black comedians can pretty much say what they want here a routine like this from Louis CK would cause outrage had it been done by say Ricky Gervais or Jimmy Carr...

Great another Islamaphobe type thread.
What is your cultural identity if you are going to relate it to clothing? Burburry caps?

Not that there's anything necessarily wrong with foreigners purely because they're foreign, but...
Last time I was in London for a few days I was not served in a single shop by a "white englishman".
Just an observation mind. The people serving me did just as good a job as a "white englishman" would have... well actually some of them may well actually comprehend the English language better than your typical ENGERLAND supporter
