Awhile ago I was travelling in Nicaragua and I met a bunch of people at a hostel and we would go out together for food and drinks. There was me, Canadian, a couple of Germans, a British girl, a Portuguese guy, and an American. Now I GET that this was a total fluke, but the American was always the guy to be like "DO YOU GUYS HAVE FRENCH FRIES?!?" "I WOULD LIKE THIS MORE WITH GRAVY!!!" "AWWWWWW YEEE".

It's just funny in retrospect.
Sounds like your other friends sounded like a real bore. What they dont like friend fires where you come from ? Wrong to ask for gravy ? And was it "AWWWWW YEeeAAAAA" or "Yee" I just cant hear a "Yee".
Actually not. Ordinarily I wouldn't get involved in the silliness of people who are clearly sub-20, but this is just ridiculous. And, if you had an education, you'd understand how. I don't care whether "native" British people are defined as Celts, Picts, Scots, Angles, Saxons, or Normans (did I leave anybody out?), they share a common feature ... wanna guess what that is?
Let me turn this argument around. If I told you, by the same logic, that Afrikaan Boers are "native" to South Africa, would that ring true for you? More to the point, would you have a remote clue what I'm talking about?
Yes I consider Afrikaan Boers as 'native' to South Africa, in fact I think you will find that they consider themselves 'native' to South Africa too, humans have always migrated throughout history, its only a question of how long you think an ancestorial lineage needs to gow back in a particular region that defines if somebody is 'native' or not - after all you could argue that we are ALL natives of Africa!

Specifically, we're all natives to Ethiopia, as far as we know at the present time.

Do you think that the whole world is in the middle of the largest population shift in the history of mankind? I think we are and it will only get bigger.
How exactly? You claim that 'white' people are native Britains and 'black' people are not - thats quite a statement, how many 'white' people in the UK can trace their ancestory back to the 'ice age' like you say? My family has 'Spanish' connections does that mean that because I have 'Spanish' uncles I cannot 'claim' myself to be a native Britain!?? what about my cousins who have a Spanish father but British mother, grandparents, great grandparents, aunts and uncles? Are they 'native' Britains or does the fact that there is a Spaniard somewhere along the line mean they also are not allowed to claim to be 'native' Britains? How many people in Britain do you think have nothing but a 'British' bloodline? 5%, 10% if that even! Now I ask again, are you basing your claim on 'native' Britains on colour of the skin only?
Get over it black people are not native to britain they are native to africa.
Most african british people recognise that themselves. Accept it, your children are part african. Its nice to have exotic heritages you know.
