British National Party (BNP) chairman Nick Griffin has defended a party leaflet which says that black Britons and Asian Britons "do not exist".
The BNP's "Language and Concepts Discipline Manual" says the term used should be "racial foreigners".
In a BBC interview, Mr Griffin said to call such people British was a sort of "bloodless genocide" because it denied indigenous people their own identity.

What if you don´t exist either?, stretching our imagination............And kudos to my thesis. If their existence threatens your identity, you won´t exist since the very fundation of the British Empire.
Er, Nick? Griffin is an Irish name, "feck"-wit!
(For those unfamiliar with European geography, Britain is the big island on the right, Ireland is the smaller one on the left. So even though the north bit or Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, it's not part of Great Britain.)
Oh, BNP, you silly fascists, when will you learn.

So, for how many generations do one's ancestors have to have been born in Great Britain to qualify, eh? Do you qualify, Griffin? Bearing in mind that there have been black people living here for upwards of 250 years, and South Asians for 120 ...
(Ooooh, and that 'racial foreigners' crack is a dead giveaway, innit, from the we're-not-racist-just-patriotic Party. Tee hee).
throughout its history as a Roman possession. Britain was garrisoned by roman troops... and cohorts of NUBIAN archers, and MAURUTANIAN light infantry.
These archers and light infantry would serve their 20 years with the legions.... And get a grant of land in Britanium. (britain)
I love when history screws race fantasys
I can see 'Briton' as Gaelic, Celtic, Viking, Jute, Saxon, Norman, Frisian, um, whatever else.
The fact that the modern African and Asian populations were never conquering invaders makes them 'foreigners'.
So, to call oneself a Briton, one needs to bludgeon Nick and his ilk into submission.
Griffin?
Go back to Ireland you potato sucking drunk.
I like to insult racists by calling them racist terms, especially in cases like this
Nick Griffiths is a twat.
He has less chance of getting elected than the Klan has in the USA.

I'd bludgeon him with a elk...
Wow. I'm literally speechless, as well as disgusted. And people actually vote for this party? Sounds like you don't know much about your own country's history.
Just imagine if we applied this philosophy to the US. Only about 3% of the population would actually be considered American.
According to statistics, it will say such nonsense for, approximately, 15 years, until he has to cater new recruits and whites are not enough(it happened with Maltese and Irish 20 years ago)
"...it denied indigenous people their own identity."
What indigenous people? Hey Nick, ever hear of the Romans, Vikings, Saxons, Normans? Hell, even the pre-Roman Britons were probbaly germanic on origin.
Yeah, Anglo-Saxons are racial foreigners, they're native to Germany.
What you say? They're not foreigners, even though the Welsh are the remnants of the ancient Britons in BRITAIN?
No one is denying anyone their identity.
See the problem with Nick Griffin's plan is his plans to repatriate and pay back countries who the UK screwed over colonially.
Here is the first problem. Repatriating my family alone would cost the tax payer in excess of 10 million pounds (both parents are doctors and they have a million pound house, they got it when it was cheap). So in order to shift them you are going to have to drop "serious dough". Secondly if you are "reimbursing countries for the nearly 200 years of rape of resources" you won't have much of an economy left. Thirdly, sending ze foreigners back would result in a massive skill gap since ironically the majority of BNP members are a bunch of unqualified unskilled workers who think they can be doctors if we got rid of doctors and nurses.
I did however like their Battle For Britain poster. Poor research caused them to put up a Spitfire from a Polish RAF regiment as their poster child.
so which of the waves of migrants to this country finished up as "British"?
We've had )among others) the "beaker people", Celts, Latinos (Roman Empire), Angles, Saxons, Vikings, Normans......
or is it only when the colour changed that the bar came down?
We've had black people in the country for at least 450 years
Cause remember, if it ain't white, it's "foreign".
Wait, there's different white races? YOU'RE A LYING HEATHEN FOREIGNER
Confused?
