People are arguing against a position that no one is actually making. No one is saying a woman of Ghanaian heritage born in England is ethnically English. The argument is this: you can be civically English without being ethnically English. Take @estherckrakue and me. We both have Ghanaian surnames and neither of us are white. She is fully ethnically Ghanaian. I am half ethnically Ghanaian and half ethnically English. So I am ethnically and civically English. She is not ethnically English, but she is still civically English. That is the entire point people keep dodging. We both live here. We have both integrated. That makes us both English in a civic sense. The real disagreement is this: Some people want “English” to be ethnic only, and push everyone else into “British”. But the public does not think that way. Polling shows most people are comfortable calling black and brown Brits English in a civic sense. So what is this really about? Why are some people so determined to pretend civic English identity doesn’t exist?
