The current ethnic diversity in the UK bears little resemblance to the countries which were once in the British Empire. To say that Leona Lewis is from New Guinea is ridiculous. She was born in London but her family roots come from Guyana (so not anywhere near Africa!!!). The little girl on the bus is called Tayyiba Dudhwala which is an Indian name, so one would assume that as she looks Indian, and has an Indian name, she is therefore probably Indian (once again, you were in the wrong continent!). I understand what you are saying, but you are clearly missing key information, and know nothing about the proportions or roots of British ethnicity.

Probably the director of 8 minutes show wanted to teach geographical ereas that Great Britain covers. It's columbu's who mistakened America for India. The interesting thing is Guyana, a country of the west Indian islands does have lots of Indians whose forefathers were shipped off Asian India by the British.

British celebrities seem to be mixed up with those in USA currently, except Beckham and his spicy girl - Victoria. This is 8 min. flashing point. Who is the old bloke, I mean the rock guy hugging a guitar, who seems be far away from the standard english gentlemen.

Ireland was added about 90 years later I think. Not sure what happened with the split of Northern Ireland, but history was never my strong subject, and my enthusiasm for this subject is now fading.
