Hello, thank you for visiting. I am curious if anyone born and raised in London be considered as English despite of his/her ethnic origin? Some time ago, we had three employees from the London office who came and work in Massachusetts (US). Mark who is a Caucasian (from Midland) referred to himself as English. Yet, when he introduced his other two colleagues John (Italian decent) and DeVinda (Indian decent) both born and raised in London, Mark referred to them as British. I know the formal authoritative definition of English, Welsh, Northern Irish, Scottish, and British. How do you, as a native, look upon yourself and your fellow countrymen? Does race and ethnicity play a role in how you look at each other? Thank you in advance for your candor.
