Sorry, britemp, but, as much as I'd like your statement above to be true, I find it very difficult to believe. I lived in Britain back in the 80s up to the mid-90s and, even then, it seemed like white Anglo-Saxon/Celts were a minority. Though I don't believe that white Anglo-Saxon/Celts actually are a minority yet, a 92% majority seems like a grossly inaccurate statistic.
Of course, I realize that London (where I lived mostly) is not representative of Britain as a whole, but I have friends and relatives in other parts of Britain, and I have been to, and am familiar with, most other areas of Britain, as well.
Just out of curiosity...Where do you live? And would you mind posting where the statistics came from, as well?
Thanks.
P.S. Please have a PG Tip for me ;-)
‘Just out of curiosity...Where do you live? And would you mind posting where the statistics came from, as well?’
Isle of Wight - 98.7% white anglo-saxon celtic christian yet only the 100th most ‘white’ community in the UK. . . . . . ;-)
The figures are from the 2001 UK Census, and since then immigration has reduced. You can probably look it up easiest in the CIA factbook:
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/uk.html
and scroll down to the ethnic groups section.
Or you can go straight to the relevant section in the census itself:
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/profiles/rank/ewwhite.asp
As you can see, although there a re a few areas that drop into the 50-60% the vast majority are way above 90%.
Just goes to show how your perceptions and the actual facts can differ greatly. :)
