      That sounds like a question for mid-90s Hong Kong! :)

      It’s an interesting question though, as “Chinese” can be used as both a Nationality and an Ethnicity (and a language and a style of food). I don’t think I’ve ever heard of “English” being used as an Ethnicity before, but it wouldn’t surprise me if people had started trying to do that.

          Yes, I’ve done quite a few. From your link, it looks like they recently added “English” as a subsection of “white” in 2011 (it used to just say “British”). Anyway, as far as I would understand it, the ethnicity in the link above is “white”. I don’t think Sunak was saying he was ethnically white, but that his national identity was English - not that I’m defending him in any way - as mentioned above, he’s a bell-end.

          Children born in Wales and adults who’ve lived here for much of their life are Welsh as far as I and most people I know are concerned. Fuck off with your ethno-nationalist cretinism.
