You may like to know that ethnic/black people living in this country date back to before the romans and anyone born here or granted citizenship is British whatever colour they are. I would be greatful if you could read my pm as to these type of remarks, also. Thanks. =]

Of course they did (a very very very small minority), but he/she is making the point that in their view for somebody to be English/British they have to be white. We may not agree with it but thats no reason to punish/show the racist card just because you don't agree with somebody.

If transport didn't exist how did we get here? If my memory serves me right, I'm pretty sure all humans originate from Africa?

It's impossible to be this so called "British" for so many reasons, we're all immigrants at some point, the vast majority of us have a bit of Germany, Norway and Denmark in us.

Sorry I didn't do anything of the sort - I DO NOT penalise anybody just because I do not agree with them. The statement that you have to be white to be english is a racist remark and very inappropriate for the forum. If some party gets in and changes the laws on what 'racism' is perceived to be then that would be a different thing. Thanks.

How on is that racist, its merely that users view on who they consider British which they have stated in a non-racist fashion. We may disagree with it but thats no reason to punish somebody for it. There was no malicious comment on behalf of that user and no racism incited; they merely said that in their view you have to be white to be British which is a sterotype in itself.

You just have, you have punished somebody for something which you consider racist yet the comment has no hatred towards another race mentioned. That is not racism.
