So everyone born in USA is a native American, right?

  Yes, they are native to the USA. They aren't native american of course. That's a silly dishonest argument based on wordplay.

    So why are they not "native Americans" but the people referenced in your quote are "native Brits"?

        So using a term as an ethnonym for historically British ethnic people is racist? If so, is it racist to assert or assume that ethnic Europeans exist?

          Social justice fundamentalism asserts that there are favored (“oppressed”) groups, and disfavored (“oppressor”) groups. True believers have created a largely arbitrary grouping called “white people”, assigning it the “oppressor” label. If a favored group’s nation were flooded by “white people”, that would be seen as an emergent situation requiring remedy; the opposite is what we’re seeing play out in societies like Britain, and is Not a Problem. I’m committing an act of violence by even describing it in this way. How or when a disfavored group is restored to neutral or favored status is undefined; one would presumably have to consult a head priest of the movement for an answer (and I wouldn’t expect any coherence or clarity).

            It sounds like a Marxist structure with re-assigned labels.

          What the hell are you on about. "Native brit" does not identify a people the way "native american" does. There is no entry in the dictionary for "native brit". This is all I'm talking about. Quit trolling.

            OP was trying to talk about ethnic brits, and I think that was clear from the context. He was then rebuked for that.

              The OP was me. I pointed out how DHH's uses the term "native brit" to mean "white person" even though that is not the meaning of "native", which means you were born somewhere.

                >I pointed out how DHH's uses the term "native brit" to mean "white person" Nowhere in his post does he mention "White person." He specifically mentions "native Brits." The only indigenous Brits native to the Britain are White Brits.

                  He links to a wikipedia article and cites a percentage for "native brits". That number on the wikipedia page is for white brits. The only groups who could call themselves indigenous to Britain are the Celts, the Cornish, and the Bretons. The English (Anglo-Saxon) culture is foreign to the British isles. Even then, none of this is related to skin tone. It's the culture that defines these potentially indigenous Celtic groups.

White Brits are the only indigenous, native Brits to Britain. >The only groups who could call themselves indigenous to Britain are the Celts, the Cornish, and the Bretons. The English (Anglo-Saxon) culture is foreign to the British isles. False. The English are the extant indigenous people to England, and descend from ancient populations: "The English largely descend from two main historical population groups: the West Germanic tribes, including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes who settled in eastern and southern Britain following the withdrawal of the Western Roman Empire, and the Romano-British Brittonic speakers who already lived there."
