How long before British born citizens become a minority?

Mordent

Never. This is just about impossible to happen - you'd need 65 million immigrants. Think about it, even if you're grandfather was born in India if you were born in Britain then you're a British born citizen.

Even white anglo-saxon/norse people becoming a minority in the whole country is highly unlikely. Big cities, or boroughs possibly - but Britain is still 85% white British. Dorset is still 98.8% white British.

It can never happen because when the immigrants have children then they are British born citizens so immigrants will always be in a minority...

dont be so ridiculous

Longer than your life if you do your sums, so don't worry about it.

92.1% of the UK population is white, is that all right for you?

There is under 2% in each ethnic minority group as part of the UK population (totalling under 8% of UK population), and many of these are British-born and British citizens. These people make a valuable contribution to the UK economy.

Considering they're 93 per cent of the British population, I would say a long, long time before British-born British citizens (if that's what the questioner is inferring) become a minority.But that won't stop racists pretending otherwise.

A better question would be: would the minoritising of "British-born citizens" in Britain necessarily be a bad thing? After all, British-born Britons have been busy minoritising indigenous peoples in Australia, New Zealand and North America for hundreds of years. Not to mention the slave trade.

Karma will inevitably call.

God all Brits do it moan and moan about the country. Anyone can come here it is not up to any of you to decide. And you think the BNP a racist lot of idiots is the way forward?? Think again.

Our Man In Bananas

never, immigrants are only a tiny percentage of the overall population.

And immigrants children, if they are born in Britain, are in fact British born citizens, so they will be part of the majority.

So as I say, it will be NEVER!

Of course, the cultural and ethnic mix might change over time, but that diversity will help keep Britain great...

British born is not the question, as you well know.

As soon as they emigrate - WTH - where do you think the ''British'' came from

Mr Sceptic

Enough people have had the sense to say it, but I'll repeat it.

British born citizens will never be a minority in the United Kingdom.

The numbers don't add up, even with the 'special mathematics' that BNP supporters use. It's just the sort of scare story that racist groups like to spread.

What are you trying to say? By being born in Britain, one is, by definition, British, and there are loads of people of all different colours being born in Britain every single day. I highly doubt that a wave of foreign immigration amounting to more than the almost 60 million Britons born here will ever happen, so relax! What's the problem?

Take a look at how many answers above have got thumbs down, I think that says it all.

Read "America Alone" by Mark Styen - it appears Muslims will be the majority in Britain by 2050.

Muslims will be the majority in continental Europe in the next 30.

If it ever happens and I don't think it will, many many years and several generations.

BNP ALERT!!! I know it may not be your view that we are becoming a minority but Britain has been invaded in the past and are a combination of many races so why should it be different now?

Not long if things continue to go along the same way as they are.

JimiMac

the.rikstir

vdv_desantnik

lokidrew

London I think by 2020 will be majority non British (by this they mean ethnically white) i read somewhere?

Brenda2007

since 1800 or 1850? I really don't know.

Snowraider

Hear, hear, It feels like we already are especially in some areas and cities i.e. London. By British I take it you mean English, Irish, Scottish or Welsh not everybody else who is called British.
