Of course it is. Give me a definition of "native British" that is as clear as the meaning of "native American".
You are trying to a complex reality into as a simplistic (American?) world view.
Also, its normal to use quotation marks when quoting someone.

- graemep 10d agoYour definition includes a lot of people excluded by DHH's definition which proves my point about the impossibility of coming up with a definition people can agree on. What do you mean by "built"? What would someone have to do to qualify? To when do you place the start of the "jet age"? What do you man by "someone"? No one born in the last 70 years built anything before the jet age. If you mean their ancestors, what proportion of their ancestors? So up to the mid 20th century? Completely arbitrary. Why not by the start of the 20th century, or the start of the 19th century, or after the Norman conquest, or the people who were native to the country at the time of the the Roman invasion?
