Note that many parts of England, particularly London, also have large numbers of non-British white people – usually from Ireland, other European countries, the US, Canada, Australia or NZ.
Don’t assume that the percentages on here subtracted from 100% equal the percentage of non-white people, it’s often quite a way off.

“We’re becoming the minority”
First of all, the country’s still 80%+ white… secondly, wait- what’s so wrong with being a minority? I thought you guys were telling me minorities get special privileges and treatment?

Wait until british finds where the “anglo-saxon” words originates from…
Whichever way you look at it, this is a profound and transformational moment in British history considering in the 1950s the population was over 99% White British. In future history books this period will be treated as significantly as the Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans etc – it is a paradigm shift moment.

And this is a country with more annual births than deaths. Imagine how terrible things must be in Germany, where more people have died each year than were born since 1972
Edit: I just checked. I was born in 2005 and during my lifetime, the number of ethnic Germans in Germany decreased by almost 8 million. Holy shit.

Reminder just 50 years ago, it was over 97%. 70 years it was over 99%. This is not a country built by immigration like the US.

That expressly isn’t what the map shows
The map shows an aggregate of people that identify as whit English, Welsh, Scottish Northern Irish and British
Its import because all demographic data on the UK that’s worth anything makes note of that distinction, there are a hell of a lot of people in the UK that feel an affinity and identify themselves by their nation who actively reject the idea of their identity being “British” Good example on here the map shows the south Wales Valleys as identifying above 95%. But when you actually look at the data on national identity its a part of the country that wholeheartedly thinks of itself as Welsh first and foremost. The valleys certainly doesn’t identify as “white British” as OP implies this map shows.
Hell its one of the more interesting demographic quirks of the UK that the idea of a “British” identify is far less prominent and important to people on the actual island of Great Britain than it is in the bit of the UK on the island of Ireland
The only reason you’d group it together is to look for percentages of people who identify with the “white” part

Only the most valuable and accessible aspects of a culture survive the test of time, and the test of demographic shift. There are aspects of British culture that my grandparents practiced that I don’t, and that has nothing to do with immigration. Immigrants won’t pick up fox hunting, but they might start drinking tea. The UK has some very strong institutions that have been iterated upon over generations – groups of people that, given enough time, end up with very little in common.

Who defines these color codes. Two extreme groups have pretty similar color code.

Genuinely saddening how much racism there is in this comment section. ‘Becoming a minority in their own country’ implies there’s some inherent right of the British ethnicity to rule on their own land (like an ethnostate), and if that is the case I would love to hear why the quarter of the world the British colonized wasn’t given that same right (that’s without even considering the fact that the British installed themselves as the ruling class where they colonized while immigrants in Britain are coming in as the lowest of the lower classes). You reap what you sow, you exploited 25% of the world, making everyone poorer and yourself richer, don’t be surprised when people from the poorer lands want to come to the richer ones.

what would the percentage be without london?
Grayseal on
It would be interesting to compare this to a similarly-designed map showing what parts of the population identify as simply English/Welsh/Scottish/Irish/British, putting race aside and focusing on culture. At least if one is really interested in preserving British cultures rather than rambling about race.

This map is very misleading. It equates being white to being English, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish or British. What about other European countries, or being from the USA / Canada?

In primary schools, 37.4% are from an ethnic minority background and [this is increasing at around 1% a year](https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-pupils-and-their-characteristics), so within around 15-20 years a majority of pupils in England and Wales will be from an ethnic minority background – with Scotland and NI a bit further behind that.
