    that's not the controversial part, it's the distinct overtones of "go back to India/China/etc" that comes with it.

    Because a lot of people who are not white are born in Britain, making them native Brits?

            How can you possibly define "native Brit" in a way that includes, say, Saxons, but excludes West Africans who immigrated in the 1200s, without simply saying "people with light skin"? Or is 1066 your cutoff? Why?

    It's sort of a silly opinion really. The British Empire spanned the globe. It's akin to being shocked to see blacks in the US.
