It's getting where every advert on tv contains "a person of colour" I know that a few "read a lot" of cities have a fairly large proportion of non-indigenous people, but overall the percentage is still nowhere near that as depicted by tv adverts, here's a list of the immigrants.


According to the 2011 census, out of an estimated population of 63.2 million, 87.1 per cent (55.0 million) of the population are white. Minority groups include Asian British: Indians 1.45 million (2.3 per cent), Asian British: Pakistanis 1.17 million (1.9 per cent), black/African/Afro-Caribbean 1.9 million (3.0 per cent: this includes 601,700/0.95 per cent Caribbean, 1.02 million/1.6 per cent black Africans and 282,100/0.45 per cent other black people), Asian British: Bangladeshis 451,500 (0.7 per cent), Asian British: Chinese 433,150 (0.7 per cent), with other Asian British also comprising an additional 861,815 (1.4 per cent). Gypsy/Traveller/Irish Traveller 63,200 (0.1 per cent). However, the total population of Roma (a category not used in the census) and Travellers in the UK is estimated to be at least 200,000 – a reflection in part of the obstacles for participation in official data collection.

The main minority religions are Muslims 2.8 million (4.4 per cent), Hindus 835,400 (1.3 per cent), Sikhs 432,400 (0.7 per cent), Jews 269,600 (0.4 per cent) and Buddhists 261,600 (0.4 per cent).

Linguistic minorities who are indigenous to the British Isles include speakers of Scottish and Irish Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Scots and Ulster-Scots, and of Norman French in the Channel Islands. Welsh, Scottish and Manx Gaelic are now official languages for Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Man along with English.

The largest non-British minority is the Irish community, which enjoys free access to the UK. Since the UK and Ireland joined the European Economic Community (now renamed European Union – EU), other EU nationals also have had the right to live and work in the UK – though this situation is likely to change once the UK formally leaves the European Union. Commonwealth citizens and citizens of UK dependent territories also live in the UK.

I think they lie about the population percentages.

Breaking news Ian - 'indigenous' is a minority group in London, has been for years.

I would hazard a guess that this would be the case in most major cities in the U.K.

One of the things that annoys me is that whenever there is a news article about schools, the BBC' will deliberately choose a school with an overwhelming percentage of "kids of colour".

"The event will take place on Saturday at the prestigious university, with the intention of 'amplifying the voices of people of colour' and giving 'people of colour a platform to talk."
Soooo...White/Caucasion is not a colour then?

And can you imagine the outrage if there was a police training regime set up solely for whites, and when are we gonna get the MOWO awards ?

It is obvious to any thinking person where most of the racism comes from.. and it is not the majority of the Caucasians
I see a PERSON .. not black white pink or yellow....

Having now read the piffle it is quite obvious from the wording in the 'blurb' it is yet another ill though out idea of a group of snowflakes, out of touch ( and out of reach ) of the majority of society
