Good guess. While London was 87% white British in 1971, that is now down to 37% (54% if counting all whites, not just Britons):

I wonder what portion of that 1971 'White British' were actually Irish, Huguenots French, German Jewish or one of the other myriad dispossessed groups that have been coming to London for centuries.


Like clockwork. When it comes to claiming Europe has always been diverse and its countries have no identity, and demographics trends must be obfuscated, different European ethnicities are looked at separately, as if they have nothing in common. But when it's time to blame white people or claim some profession isn't diverse enough, they're lumped into a single group.
