The idea that being English involves ethnicity whereas being British doesn’t, is plain stupidity and cover for racism. Both England and all of Britain were once ethnically undiverse and are now diverse. Why should one be different to the other?

It's particularly stupid when you read her whole tweet. She almost talks herself round by the end but doesnt quite make it. Critical thinking obvs not her thing.
What's the distinction they are making between English and British?
To my mind, it's always been:
- Born in England, Scotland or Wales = British
- Born in England = English and British
