Probably more accurate to say their ethnicity is not English in the main.

And finally we get there.

They were brown.

What makes someone English?

Having pride in the country you reside in maybe?

This, and not wanting to get lumped in with the Welsh

Or the Scotch...

I'm probably browner than they are right now.

If you had to describe a bloke running from the scene to the police would you say he looked British? What do British people look like? It's a useless adjective *in this particular case*.

It's a ridiculous way to describe somebody, so - no.

Far more ridiculous than saying they look "English" or "Pakistani"...?

They live at home with mum and dad and have little or no other commitments. "Minimum wage" take-home is £1k a month. They spend all their money on cars. that's how a lot of them manage to afford Audis/BMws/mercs.

Yep, young Asian chap I used to work with (owned a new M3) told me the exact same thing.

[andymc]

not as simple as that, before you can get the chucky you need to pass an affordability test, if 60% is going on the car you won't get it

IC5 Chinese, Japanese, or other Southeast Asian

IC9 Unknown

Absolutely. Base it on their visual appearance, not their nationality. The two are unrelated.

Except we were discussing their ethnicity.

Hired supercar smashed up in Bradford, 99% of the time it's going to be an IC4.

and................Wtf is your point?
"Brown" people, who are they?
You constantly come across as a pillock, it's embarrassing to read. Purile 6th form nonsense.
Question after question so you can try and preach some pseudo intellectual view, yet you fail again, so I'll ask again,why have you referenced "brown" people, that's just racist ignorance.
I'm not sure who you are referring to by "we" but you seem desperate to put words in people's mouths in order to argue.
Ignorant little troll

How about you actually read the last two pages of the thread?

Winston seemed quite convinced they couldn't possibly be "English", and the reason? It ultimately came down to their "ethnicity" (not that anybody knows how they actually identified themselves) was not "English". I'm open to alternative meanings of that, if you'd like to come up with a plausible one.

These particular ones were British, not - as suggested by toxicnerve - Pakistani.

They're not English. It's merely a statement of fact. We can use IC4 if it shuts you up...

No, it's a statement of your opinion that somebody can't call themselves "English", even if they were born in Yorkshire and lived there all their lives - simply because they're brown.

So they're IC1 are they?

The problem with arguing with idiots is they drag you down to their level then try to beat you with stupidity.

You seem to be calling lot of people idiots, who ostensibly come across as more intelligent than you. Just an observation. Maybe the rest of us are idiots, but that’s not how it looks, and doesn’t help on the rare occasions you make valid points.
