Additionally, not all British people just stay and live in Britain as you do. Every single year, there are plenty of people from the British Isles who immigrate to the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand. So it is really funny, when you're saying that I don't know nothing about British people. I do, my own father ancestry is directly from the British Isles and there literally millions of Americans like that. What variety of looks, Britain is nowhere near as diverse as America or any region of the New World.
Are you actually trying to claim that you know Britain (and Europe) better than me because (you say) you've visited, you don't actually know where in Europe I've been do you, so what makes you think I've never left England? Don't you remember I have Spanish and half Spanish family members, don't you remember I married a Croat, don't you remember my girlfriends father is Jamaican, don't you remember how many different nationalities I work with? Here's a list
4 x Polish, 1 x Romanian, 2 x French, 1 x Bulgarian, 1 x Italian, 1 x Ghanaian, 2 x South African 2 x Brazilian 1 x Isralie / Scot, 2 x Scots 1 x German and a Gentleman from Pakistan, this is in a workforce of about 50 and the rest of us 'English born' come in a variety of colours and shades from pale blond to black skinned black hair. Having been married to a Croatian, having Spanish relatives and living in Europe, a short hop from a multitude of European countries do you seriously believe I've never been to any of them? I don't care how many languages you speak but I am sure that having lived in Europe all of my life I know it better than you (Particularly England!) and I am sorry but what you claim just doesn't match the Britain I know.

Really ? Are there British (native, not of Caribbean origin) with black skin and black hair?

(Unless they are from far Caribbean or African ancestry, or a mix ??)

Not black skin, but black hair can be seen. Dark skin, too. Russell Brand is a good example. He's fully English as far as I'm aware.

In multicultural society no.
In pre mass immigration yes.

Going of origin they a have at least a person of black skin (you, or your partner; one of you is if recent immigrant back ground; or adopted.. Or say adapted to a different latitude..having lived at that latitude his ancestors for thousands of years)..so it s possible in today multicultural society all the shades are common.

When I say native I say pre globalization.

Of course there are black skinned british today or black skinned Italian too, or Asian like Italian too.

Yes, they are British native of today. (Born there and few or non existent ties to your or your partner, or if he was adopted; distant land of origin) So yes in this acception yes. Where else he should feel ties/and or cultural tied too?
