So what if we are mixed up blood we have lived together for centuries and interbreeded with each other and not foreign countries.

Not so many years ago if you think about it. The Duke of Edinburgh was born a Greek and his great grandfather was Danish.
I am British and proud of it and have a lot of coloured friends who are also British and proud of it. There are a hell of a lot of UK residents whose parents or grandparents were from other countries but you cannot tell that from looking at them as they are white and speak English. When I lived in West Yorkshire I had a very good friend who was a dentist in Heckmondwike (home of Kronas). I was once in his surgery after hours and heard two people talking in the next room. One of them had a very strong Glaswegian accent, the other a very broad Yorkshire accent. When I entered that room what do you think I saw? Two very black men, one being the dentists Uncle, the other was Charlie Williams (black comedian from Barnsley) father. They were both British.
