I am only half English the other being mainly Serb and a bit of Greek. Am I racially not English? By some definitions no i am Slavic others say yes I am yet others say I'm not ethnically English but culturally English/British yet some extremists who I have met without divulging my heritage told me that western europeans were fine but Slavs are racially suspect which is why i don't like Nazis. So I will ask you now am I English in your eyes?

yes, your better half is. Joking aside, if you are half British by birth and you feel British then to me you are British.

To me you are, just as my Sikh neighbours who respect british way of life are. Myself, am half Canadian Irish, with a great Grandmother who was a native American (Red Indian) and I see myself as English in every sense of the way. I was born here, and am proud to be. Thing is I do not want to build wigwams to worship, turn Bucks Palace into a giant wigwam with a totem pole outside the gates, just as my Sikh friends to not want to SIKHify the UK .
Anyone proud to be English, prepared to fight for that right qualifies in my eyes, and any racial purists are piddling in the wind, cos there are very few pure blood Angles, Saxons or Jutes anymore!
British by Birth, English by the grace of God

henno1 regarding the question of you being English in our eyes,
judging by your avatar you have answered your own question.
"Our ancestors took this land. They took it and made it and held it. We do not give up what our ancestors gave us. They came across the sea and they fought here, and they built here and they're buried here. This is our land, mixed with our blood, strengthened with our bone. Ours!"

Nations which go down fighting rise again, those who surrender tamely are finished

To be ETHNICALLY English is to be descended from the early white north west european tribes who settled here which included the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans (whom were actually Vikings) and other kindred tribes

To be of English nationality does not require one to be of English Ethnicity .

To be of English ethnicity is to be of indo-European stock and to understand that your ancestors where those people calling themselves English when English first came to be.

To be of English nationality is to be born in England and to feel a sense of Englishness.
