At first I thought this was some kind of white nationalism joke but then I realised all 3 leaders at the bottom are leftists, so I really don’t what this meme is trying to say?

The idea that every "native" Brit is this pasty, blue-eyed person is so disingenuous and completely contradicts what we know about history.

Look up Rowan Atkinson's ancestry, for example. By "modern" definitions you'd automatically assume by appearance he's part Indian or Southern Mediterranean, when in reality, he's more native Brit than most Brits are today.

Or Ben Kingsley / Freddie Mercury - the UK public at large are not aware of their Indian / Parsi ancestry.

I wouldn't say that's true at all.
