But I don't think it's really that comparible; there were some BAME people living in Britain long before most of the current GB population's ancestors spread to the isles, so MOST white people in Britain aren't any more indigenously British than many BAME people. There's a common myth that BAME people living in Britain is a new phenomenon - mostly down to the history books and paintings and what not being written by white upper class - but there have in fact been black people on British soil for many hundreds of years.
