Because I was born here. And Nigeria is a crap country.

Quick question, Have you actually been to Nigeria? I'm also off Nigerian heritage myself.

If a German couple has a child in Australia, does it make them an Australian Aborigine?

The child would be considered to be Australian. Most here are using the term 'British' as nationality.

On the issue of it being an ethnic group you need to see the criteria for being part of that particular ethnicity. For example, a lot of Jewish people today are not racially or linguistically similar to the original Jewish populace. However, they're still considered part of the Jewish ethnicity.

While invasions from mainland Europe may not have had significant racial admixture (I'm taking your word on this) they have had cultural and linguistic influence. It all depends on how you define 'British' as an ethnicity.

Many of the students I have come across are from small towns/villages and haven't been exposed to black and Asian people. The South West has the lowest number of ethnic minorities so many of the locals aren't used to it either. You should see the looks I get when I walk around with a picked out afro.

Aw, are you there for uni?

No you're not.

Your parents are Nigerian.

You are British.

Don't tell him what he is and isn't.

Why do you think Nigeria is a crap country?

-Crap electricity- always switches off
-Open gutters
-Juju men
- Bumpy roads
-Poor education
- Poverty
- Don't get me started on the corrupt government
- Home of fraud (419)
- Mosquito
- Quality of entertainment (the tv shows quality)

That's all I can think about for now. You cant deny this. All my family agree with me when I say this.

What part do you think is decent? I only think Victoria island is and the rest are crap.

Haha! Pretty much Victoria Island, I went to Port Harcourt & Warri, they're crap and that's me being nice. I heard Abuja is better.

Yes you can have Black British.

But no one (really) would consider them as actual British people.

When you think of a Briton, you think of a white person. There is nothing wrong with that.

Lol if you're so academic how can you have never heard the phrase 'Black British'

People say it in an ironic/sarcastic sense. Never would you really see someone call themselves "Black British" in a serious manner. They would get laughed and ridiculed (and heckled even?) by indigenous white British people.

No, you are Chinese. No one would consider you as Australian. First impression of you: Chinese.

No you are Asian. When people first see you they think "Asian", not British.

What's that meant to mean, you're the elected voice of the indigenous white population of this country? On the census, it says black British.
