I'm cutting out the rest because this made my eyes crush themselves in my skull.

Are you implying that a person of, say, South African descent who is the fourth generation being born in Britain is not British? That they are intrinsically un-British because their ancestry is rooted in another part of the world? Like a dog when compared to a British horse?

I'm not implying anything... I'm asking a question.

For example, Kevin Pietersen was born in South Africa yet plays Cricket for England. How?

And dont try to make it seem like in calling people dogs. The same could be said for any animal or insect. For example. If a bee is born in a wasp nest... Is it a bee or wasp?

If i my family had lived in Albania for 100 years, they moved to England for a year... Then i was born in England. They suddenly move back to Albania a week later... Does that make me English?

An infant? Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're a British citizen, though I'm not clear on what the specific legality is there. Yes, you woudl be British. yes, you woudl be British. Yes, you would be British.

Yes, you would be British.

Yes.

You're implying htat people of different ethnic descents are not British. That's exactly what you're implying. A person whose grandparents were from, say, Egypt, but have spent thel ast fifty years in Britain, and the grandchild being raised to adulthood only knowing British culture? He's as British as anyone in this topic. Moreso than quite a few.
