  1. Rishi Sunak I think is culturally British and - giving him the benefit of the doubt - shows loyalty to Britain. So I accept him as a British compatriot. I have no problem with him. He’s not English though. You have to be of Anglo Saxon/Celt/Viking/Norman stock (ie North Western European DNA) and your ancestors here for at least 4 generations to qualify for that, in my opinion. English is an ethnicity tied to geography and DNA. For example Donald Trump is actually ethnically of the British Isles. The USA is an anomaly to most places as it is a relatively recent creation. Give it a few hundred years and maybe American will too be a distinct ethnicity - or maybe not. Globalisation has upended millennia of human normality by confusing what it means to be of a national ethnicity and identity where change would happen either very very slowly through assimilation - or violently through war and conquest. It is disconcerting and causes civil unrest and the loss of high trust societies which have been built up over many generations. We STILL have tribal hatreds and resentments from conflicts hundreds if not thousands of years ago! Just look at the Middle East!! Even closer to home look at the victimhood narrative and prejudice between ‘the Irish’ and ‘the English’ when 99% of the English had feck all to do with any of it!! Yet we’re all collectively to blame somehow. It’s also funny how the Left claims to love ‘diversity’ while actively attempting to destroy it and create a beige featureless global melange of leftist automatons.

  2. He’s ethnically Indian but I’d say he’s culturally both British and Indian. I want to be fair to him, he’s never struck me as someone who isn’t loyal to Britain and he’s clearly culturally British in many ways. I don’t judge him just because he isn’t Anglo Saxon that’s not very fair.

  3.  @robm8809 Yes Indians see him as one of ‘theirs’ but a lot of Indians are crazy nationalists and obsessed with the Raj. That puts a lot on Sunak that he didn’t ask for. Does go to show that ethnicity and tribe do matter though - even if you’re born and raised in Britain, Indians will still count you as Indian because of ethnicity. Weird how it’s apparently ok for them to see things this way - but not us.
