      No you don't understand. Why do nations exist? Because, often similar small tribes that are very closely related genetically and culturally decide they can form an alliance and create borders for their land. Why is Wales not actually England? Because they aren't Ethnically genetically English. Bringing foreign genetics to England only serves to divide and destroy the once homogeneous country.

      I guess it depends, some people are unable to see real beauty past their own bigotry. Ironically it is such people who are the real poison in Britain (the host was being too kind to point this out) and it only takes a little poison to pollute an entire reservoir.
      Britain has worked too hard and sacrificed too much not to be great. If your allegiance lies with England then you are English regardless of whether you are Anglo, Afro, Asio or even French. Some people's obsession to promote the superficial is something I will never understand.

      I understand your point, but you are off on what these terms mean. They are the result of populating "the new world". The term Afro-Caribbean isn't describing a mix (even though there is a mix). Same as Afro-American, or my background as French-Canadian. It's basically populations misplaced from their ethic backgrounds to create a new identity in a new land, since these populations are only a few hundred years old.
      Most of the native Caribbeans where killed off long ago, so I can promise, the term Afro-Caribbean isn't meant about the genetic mixing. It's literally describing peoples of African descent who now populate the Caribbean.
      The caller is wrong on several levels, but a lot of people are confusing Nationality and ethnicity these days.

      I didn't mean "genetic mixing". By "different ancestries can combine", I meant broadly any amalgamation of multiple identities attributed to the ancestors of an individual. David Lammy has an African ancestry in the sense that his earlier ancestors lived in Africa, and he has also a Caribbean ancestry in the sense that his parents grew up in the Caribbean (Guyana), and their diachronic combination (across generations) is notionally represented by the term "African-Caribbean". My point is quite that ancestries can develop independently of genes.

      @@mirandansa Lol. I understand what you are saying, and you don't have to break it down for my sake. However, It mostly sounds like we are in agreement, but apparently have slightly different descriptions. The caller was ignorant and rude on several levels, but there is nothing incorrect or obscene about the terminology. We both agreed on what the term Afro-Caribbean means. We just don't seem to agree about the phrasing of "different ancestries can combine". To me, combining ancestries means to be a genetic mix, like myself. A person of multiple ethnicities. However, I would argue that terms like that, Afro-American and French-Canadian are more descriptive of the travel of a culture to become a new one, not a combination, but a fluid change to a new culture with some amount of influence from the former.
      At the end of the day, he is a British man by birth, and that is undebatable to anyone. Why those things are argued, I cannot understand.
      Edit: Apologies for taking your original comment the wrong way. The phrasing had me a bit confused, by saying it's not African. It really seemed as if you were saying genetically, when you meant it in a more literal sense of geographically. If African people can become a new Caribbean, and that is accepted, then why can't an Afro-Caribbean be English if he was born there? Hence the caller being a hypocrite in logic. Apologies once again. The phrasing threw me off a bit.

      English is an ethnicity, but it’s also a nationality. Someone that wasn’t born in England, like myself, or Boris Johnson, but has English parents, can identify as English, however, if you are born in England, you’re English, which is why Lammy is English. The term ‘English’ has biological and geographical origins.

    "You're African-Carribean." She immediately gives a clear recognition that you can view yourself as having an identity formed by heritage from two entirely separate places. She just has no clue that would also apply to being English because she clearly views all places with black people as the same.

      @ricky brooks Hi Ricky, I think the idea is that no nationality has to be limited by heritage. The idea that it is limited by heritage fails to recognise the history of human migration.
      Take America where only Native Americans have 'true' American heritage, but most of the American population today is white (e.g. Irish American). No one is saying that Native Americans aren't American in a similar way that no one is saying Anglo-Saxons (dual heritage in itself) aren't English.
      Being more open in your definition of nationality isn't a threat, it's an opportunity to be inclusive and subsequently learn from others. You can be patriotic without excluding others.
      I'd love to hear your thoughts on that 😊

      It's called an ethnicity. Are there any white native Americans or black Maoris, or black Tibetans or white Australian aborigines? If the answer to all those is 'no' then why would you think there would be black English?

      Funny isn’t it Out of all countries in the world, Britain complaining about invasions, the jokes write them selves, if they really want immigrants out. They should protest to their government to give all the trillions in money and diamonds they stole so they can all go back…But they won’t will they. Low IQ and low self awareness.

      Same - fortunately she and the rabid commenters in this section represent a very low (and shrinking) percentage of residents of England that align the label of "English" with any sort of genetic component and the overwhelming majority in line with the more reasonable position that having been born in England regardless of your ancestry makes you English. This was from a Guardian piece on the subject:
      "Just over 10% of people believe that ethnicity is an important determining factor in being English, compared to 20% from a 2012 study, according to British Future and the Centre for English Identity and Politics, which is about to publish its follow-up to the 2012 study, This Sceptred Isle.
      The biggest change was noted among over-65s, where the importance of whiteness fell from 35% to 16%. The new data could challenge the perception that the 2016 Brexit referendum reflected an increase in xenophobic English identity. The findings suggest that during the time of the Brexit vote, perceptions of English identity were becoming more, rather than less, ethnically inclusive."
