of his life is being racist??????
nationality. And, actually, neither does the nationality of one of your parents. He has spent the vast majority of his life here, been educated here, grown up here, made his adult career here and proudly considers himself English. What more do you want?
There are millions of people in this country with similar stories. They are simply British, but of foreign extraction. Those foreign origins don't make them any less English, though. Equally, there are people who were born here who don't consider themselves English and that's their right as well. Your absurdly narrow definition of what defines someone's nationality marks you out as lacking in imagination at best and racist at worst.
my 3 boys all from Essex, born there and lived there for a few yrs, doesn't matter how long they now live in yorkshire they will never be tykes... what is the difference??
You northern types are cruel
the 3 yr old does now speak with a Northern twang though
In the long run though, whatever accent they have (apart from Black Country, Belfast or Glasgow) it's better than the awful estuary english
You are aware that there are millions of people in this country who proudly define themselves as British or English who don't meet your criteria, aren't you? My parents don't come from England, either. However, they wouldn't for a minute consider themselves to be anything other than British for all that they cheerfully acknowledge their Irish heritage.
What I'm saying is that questions of nationality and national identity are vastly - VASTLY - more complex than you seem to think. The fact that you choose to exclude people from your nationality on such flimsy grounds is bizarre and slightly worrying, but ultimately meaningless since they get to define their nationality, not you.
Suffice to say I would very much enjoy watching you explain what nationality he is to Nasser Hussein, for instance. :hehe:
Oh, and since you're doing insults, stop being so unbelievably f**king obtuse.
