Romney, London, and "Anglo Saxon" heritage...


London is one of the most diverse, multi-cultural cities on the planet. I remember reading somewhere that Whites were just barely holding on to the majority because of immigration from Africa, the West Indies, India, and the Middle East. And a sizable chunk of London's White population is not indigenous to the UK. I can't see his comment about "shared Anglo-Saxon heritage" going over well there. Have any non-White Londoners been reached for comment?

Rmoney forgot about the Norman invasion -- 1066 and all that. Diluted the Anglo Saxon heritage about a millennium ago.
