IF YOUR SKIN’S not white, your name sounds foreign or you look “different”, white English people will say you’re:
* British
* a Londoner
* vibrant
* part of a “community”
* contributing to “our” culture
* Bame — black, Asian and other minority ethnic
* an “ethnic” — see above
* a migrant
* a person of colour
* British… sure, but where are you really from?
