Tanita Tikaram - British singer

[Bobby Martnen]

She is by official nationality and by the citizenship on her UK passport, but she's not ethnically British. She's culturally been raised in England since her teens.

She wasn't born there and isn't ethnically British. She's not British. (I don't see immigrant descendants as true Britons, unless they have actual British ancestry too, like George Michael or Ben Kingsley)

Obviously Indian with minor Asian (slanty eye // cheekbone variety).

So what is her official nationality that's stated on her UK passport? (I didn't say she was ethnically British.)

Nationality is irrelevant. Ethnicity matters 1000 times more.

Why won't you answer the question? You say she's not a British citizen and doesn't have official British nationality - so what nationality is stated on her passport? And what is her official nationality info on wiki?

Her accent sure doesn't sound foreign.

She's a British citizen, but she's not a true Briton, just like Sultan Khan of Londonistan.

Someone like George Michael or Ben Kingsley is a true Briton, because both of them had ethnically British mothers.

Do you have full Native American ancestry? Do you consider yourself as an American citizen?

I'm 1/4 Amerikaner (aka Colonial American). Amerikaners are the original Americans. (Amerindians never thought of themselves as American and didn't play a foundational role in our society)

He's not the Lord Mayor of London though which is an even higher position to hold. (We have two mayors for 'Londongrad' and 'Londonsaw';- and the Lord Mayor rides in a prestigious golden carriage, etc.)

Good. His parents should have never been allowed into Britain.

Singer and violin player George Michael was born and culturally raised and educated in England (his accent was clearly southern English) and he had British nationality on his passport. I don't think he could speak any other languages.

Yes, and I agree that he was truly British because his mother was ethnically English with a little Scottish. Neither of Khan's parents is ethnically British.

British people descend from migrants if you go back in history.

That doesn't make the children or grandchildren of immigrants true Britons.

I had a friend for many years in London who was a British female who spoke in a middle-class English accent and she went to a boarding school in the southern English countryside. Both her parents were Indian, but she considered herself as British. She was culturally and officially British and could only relate to British music and people. She'd never visited India and couldn't speak any of their numerous languages because she's not an Indian citizen, but a British citizen.

People here accept her as one of us as even though her skintone and features are different, she's culturally the same as us due to her education and cultural upbringing in England.

She probably was Hindu, not Christian. If she was an Anglo-Indian, she would be truly British, since Anglo-Indians are a mixed-race people descending from British men and Indian women.

If someone wants to be an athlete and represent our nation in national sports teams and in the Olympics, it doesn't matter what physical features they have or where their ancestors were previously born and lived, so long as they're culturally British and born and raised in Great Britain.

No Moslem will ever be culturally British. You have to be at least part British by blood to be a true Briton.

Mixed.
