Also, how far back do ancestors have to be born and raised in Britain to be considered indigenous or truly British? I'm genuinely interested because I'm not really sure myself. I mean, I call myself Scottish and think of myself as Scottish even though my parents were born foreign countries and raised in England. I guess it's maybe a question of whether you use the ideas of foreigners and indigenous people as a basis for social division or stratification.
