Where is "Sowt Sarah"?

The terms "negro" and "Caucasian" are regarded by many people as inherently racist. They are not used by any modern human biologists, geneticists or ethnographers and are essentially meaningless. They have their origin in attempts by previous generations to categorise people into racial groups for essentially political reasons. The world has changed. Adapt and move on.

You will find "Caucasian" in common usage by the american police. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/Caucasian
The unspeakable slang version of "negro" is widely used between american negroes themselves.

OK, I get that you don't like his accent and can't understand him, but since when does that make him a "wittering clown"?

Troll or just plain obnoxious?, I can't decide.

Oh! Most definitely obnoxious. Personally I could live with a large percentage of kent, london and essex residents adopting Mr Nunes accent rather than their natural tortured tones.

Then why don't you buy yourself a one way ticket nunesland, and leave England to the English?

Speaking as an outsider, i.e. not English so not personally involved, I'm interested in your definition of "the English". Does it include the Norman invaders? How about the Angle, Saxon, Jute and Viking invaders? Or, more recently, the Huguenot and Jewish immigrants? Or the Italians, Poles and Jamaicans who arrived in the twentieth century?

Well said Dave.

Oh and having been born shortly after WWII in Birmingham, England I think I can lay claim to being as English as the next bloke. 'The English' as you pointed out to Elton is a pretty meaningless term these days.

What passes for English language these days is an abomination.

Not an aitch, tee or i,n,g in sight. 'Are you joking me?' Perhaps Elton would prefer the shipping news read with every sentence littered with the F, C and S words in south London drawl.
