how long before British born citizens become a minority?

Answer 1

Never. This is just about impossible to happen - you'd need 65 million immigrants. Think about it, even if you're grandfather was born in India if you were born in Britain then you're a British born citizen.

Even white anglo-saxon/norse people becoming a minority in the whole country is highly unlikely. Big cities, or boroughs possibly - but Britain is still 85% white British. Dorset is still 98.8% white British.

Answer 2

Considering they're 93 per cent of the British population, I would say a long, long time before British-born British citizens (if that's what the questioner is inferring) become a minority.But that won't stop racists pretending otherwise.

A better question would be: would the minoritising of "British-born citizens" in Britain necessarily be a bad thing? After all, British-born Britons have been busy minoritising indigenous peoples in Australia, New Zealand and North America for hundreds of years. Not to mention the slave trade.

Karma will inevitably call.

Answer 3

Enough people have had the sense to say it, but I'll repeat it.

British born citizens will never be a minority in the United Kingdom.

The numbers don't add up, even with the 'special mathematics' that BNP supporters use. It's just the sort of scare story that racist groups like to spread.

Answer 4

I believe this question to be a little bit racist, and I am a white British before anyone says anything.

I do believe that our country is a bit soft on the issue of immigration, I believe we should be more like Australia where you have to have a trade to get into the country, e.g. a nurse. Then the immigrants can give something back to society.

Also every body slags the immigrants yet they are the ones who help our economy, as they are doing the jobs that the Brits don't want to do, and then they complain that they come and take our jobs, people like this should be made to go to work and these jobs and see what it is like.

Answer 5

Read "America Alone" by Mark Styen - it appears Muslims will be the majority in Britain by 2050.

Muslims will be the majority in continental Europe in the next 30.

Answer 6

What are you trying to say? By being born in Britain, one is, by definition, British, and there are loads of people of all different colours being born in Britain every single day. I highly doubt that a wave of foreign immigration amounting to more than the almost 60 million Britons born here will ever happen, so relax! What's the problem?

Answer 7

It can never happen because when the immigrants have children then they are British born citizens so immigrants will always be in a minority...

Answer 8

Longer than your life if you do your sums, so don't worry about it.

92.1% of the UK population is white, is that all right for you?

There is under 2% in each ethnic minority group as part of the UK population (totalling under 8% of UK population), and many of these are British-born and British citizens. These people make a valuable contribution to the UK economy.

Answer 9

British born is not the question, as you well know.

Answer 10

never, immigrants are only a tiny percentage of the overall population.

And immigrants children, if they are born in Britain, are in fact British born citizens, so they will be part of the majority.

So as I say, it will be NEVER!

Of course, the cultural and ethnic mix might change over time, but that diversity will help keep Britain great...
