I'd say that my heritage going back thousands of years is under attack, as well as the culture That I was happy to be surrounded by.

The difference between humans is irrelevant. The figure you quote is irrelevant. Chimps are only 2% different to us. Worms aren't much more. This is all typical feeble Wisbech waffle designed to avoid what is clear and obvious.

You really make yourself look a tit when you mention skin colour. Skin colour is happenstance. You can get a different skin colour by sun bathing.
You might have noticed that immigrants come in many shades, and some of those shades come here and blend in with no bother. Others are at the centre of many of our troubles.
I doubt that their skin colour has any bearing on that.

This kind of stupid reductive argument is why you get so much stick on these boards.

I think a Chicken Tikki Masala is a good idiom to describe people like you.

Your heritage is likely to be as mixed as mine, or any other person born in the UK.

It was you who mentioned genetics. I was merely pointing out the truth, that genetics per se have nothing to do with it.

I am glad you dismiss skin colour as irrelevant. I'll remind you of that the next time you mention anything to do with being "white"!

You have no more idea of your heritage than anyone else, unless someone has done a very extensive check on it. It is likely to be mostly "Northern European" but not "all".

You DO make a big issue of your "whiteness". The very fact you mention it at all is evidence of that. Most of us never even consider it, let alone classify ourselves by it, as you do. I am British, living in the modern UK in 2021, accompanied by other British people, and others who have chosen to live with us.

This is from the 2001 UK census.

The census ethnic groups included White (White British, White Irish, Other White), Mixed (White and Black Caribbean, White and Black African, White and Asian, Other Mixed), Asian or Asian British (Indian, pakistani, Bangladeshi, Other Asian), Black or Black British (Black Caribbean, African, Other Black) and Chinese or Other Ethnic Group.

So the Government considers it at all levels national and local.

BLM and their fellow travellers consider it every day.

And so the list goes on

The BBC considers it in hiring policy as do many companies now who have instituted what is effectively affirmative action in new hires.

To say " most of us never consider never even consider it " is IMO, untrue virtue signalling. and an attempt to show yourself at some higher level of morality.

Everyone entitled to their opinion etc.

That it is asked in census questions is no indication at all of how often people think about this. I personally find it offensive to be asked and think it to be a mistake to introduce such a concept at an "official" level. I think that's the only time most of us give it a passing thought. My opinion, of course.

That those who feel disadvantaged by the way others remain prejudiced about skin colour are obliged to consider it, is no argument. What choice have they got? I guess no-one would be happier than them for it to be unnecessary.

If the BBC, or anyone else, actually determines policy on skin colour (and not affirmatively seeking to overcome disadvantage) then they deserve condemnation.

'Whiteness' is now the crucial factor in our new reality. What BLM put forward as the cause of all evils. And as we all know, they are the standard by what all else is adjudged.

Personally, I say we should embrace it. In this era of identity politics, why should we be left out?

If we are going to be defined by our skin colour, or even shades of in terms of expressions such as 'Gammons' (one I love btw), then why should we be denied this?

Personally, I see 'whiteness' as a thing of beauty. Of tradition. Of preserving the traditional family unit and so on. Not anti-anybody else just pro ourselves. What is wrong with that?
