“Is the white population still that high? I was under the impression that London at least had a very high nonwhite population.”
The non-white population of London is high, about 31%, but that is one city and about the same proportions as the entire population of the US. Across the entire UK population 85.67% is ‘white British’ plus another 5.27% ‘other white’ and 1.2% ‘white Irish’, so well over 90%. The next biggest ethnic group is Indian at 1.8% and Pakistani at 1.6%.
The UK is far less multicultural than the US, a common misconception amongst my American friends.
In America the multiculturalism is pretty much even spread, whereas in the UK the non native islanders just colonise whole cities like London, Bradford and Birmingham just to name a few.
Thanks for the info!
Britain is a multiracial country, it as you say has never been a multicultural one.
Sadly many Brits are too dense to grasp they are not the same.
