The Anglo Saxon invasion caused a cultural change but most invaders really didn't go past East Anglia. The Normans spread father but didn't replace the Celtic population. Most English people are Celts, with a dash of something else.

Asians can also be Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Bengali, Nepalese, etc...Depending on North, East, South and West parts of Asia. There are many. There aren't only Pakistani and Indian people. I consider the UK to be multicultural, everything you have mentioned is a benefit to the country because it attracts tourists and the UK's reputation and boosts the diversity, bringing communities together. Where I live, and specifically in my college, I've noticed there are quite a lot of Nepalese people. I have a few Nepalese friends, too. I don't know why you think that just because Britain is multicultural, it's suddenly become "difficult" to "find" a British person...? I'm British, British Asian. I was born here. I can't speak for immigrants, I guess that's the governments job. Or, the EDL's. You have the EDL, don't you? They're strictly British. Btw, fish and chips is still a popular takeaway dish in the UK. Let's just say the curry is an added spice to it...Lol. Peace.

You will find lots of people of Celtic origin in Cornwall, with Celtic names beginning Tre-, Pen-, Pol.
Also much of the population of the Lake District aka Cumbria (land of the Cymri) remains essentially Celtic being part of the British kingdom of Rheged until the 9th century.
Elsewhere genetics has shown that the English are 90% Anglo-Saxon despite a relatively small population of Germans arriving in the 5th Century. The Britons were enslaved, killed or driven away.
It shows that given the right conditions (in this case High Status) a relatively small group of immigrants can take over an entire country.

Celts and Anglo-Saxons have fairly well blended together, but the further west you go, the more Celtic they are.
If you exclude Wales, Cornwall is probably your best bet for "pure" (or rthe closest thing to pure) Celts.

Sheep counting in the Yorkshire Dales is of Celtic origin (Yan, Tan, Tether, etc.)
But, surely, even those who are saecond generation are 'native'
