Well according to John Cleese it isn't, he was quoted as saying:
/// "I had a Californian friend come over two months ago, walk down the King’s Road and say, “Where are all the English people?” ///
/// "I mean, I love having different cultures around. But when the parent culture kind of dissipates, you’re left thinking, “Well, what’s going on?”
Diverse: Areas of London like Whitechapel, pictured below, are extremely multicultural:

I live near Birmingham, and my mother lives in Harrow, London and a few months ago I took the underground train from Harrow to Baker Street.
As I sat in the carriage I looked around me and realised I was one of the few "white" people on the train.
A few people were on the phone, and not one of them was talking in English.
While down in London I went into Central Harrow to look at the shops. I thought I had gone into a mixture of Pakistan/Iran/Barbados.
I looked at the local Harrow paper at my mothers, and I hardly saw a white persons face in the whole paper.
I live on the edge of Birmingham, and any trip into central Birmingham and again you will see huge numbers of non-whites.
In Birmingham I went into a phone shop as I want to upgrade my phone, and ALL the staff and ALL the customers were non-white. I was the only white person in the shop.
If you drive through Sparkhill or Small Heath in Birmingham then EVERY person will be non-white, these have be taken over by mostly Asians (and ruined in the process).
I am sorry, but this country is not the one I was born in, and now not the one I want to live in.
Pity as I used to love this country.

It is a sad fact that one can only spot people who are not of the typical white indigenous population of England, by the colour of their skin.
It is also not 'Racist to point out this fact.
Why is it then that a native white English persons cannot be proud of their culture just as black persons are proud of theirs.
Surely a white person who happens to be born in Africa cannot be classed as a native African?

Who's not proud of their indigenous English culture, AOG? I know I am!
..and once again - the English have evolved over hundreds of years from mixed races, and these days many people fully entitled to call themselves citizens of this country are NOT WHITE. It doesn't matter whether they are green - they are still "ours". How many years to you have to go back to find the sort of pure indigenous population that you are hankering after?

Is this the latest cost cutting measure by the Tories, replacing the Office for National Statistics and employing only by John Cleese? The last ONS figures show that 34% of London's population were born abroad.
"Why is it then that a native white English persons cannot be proud of their culture just as black persons are proud of theirs." You can be proud but can a black English prson not be proud to be English too?
