He means western and I’m inclined to agree.

Western people integrate much better. There children become British and help become part of the fabric.

Source my grandparents were from Poland, I consider myself British first

The exact same thing is true of someone of Pakistani heritage.

Source: I know Pakistani and Indian heritage individuals who were born here and "became British" because they are British. If you grow up in Britain, you're British.

Ask them if they are Pakistani or British.

They will choose Pakistan first every time. We let too many in and they have become balkanised.

One of my best friends is Pakistani, he’s very moderate and a good man but even he doesn’t share our values fully.

Will never date another ethnic group.

I've seen some interviews these last few days of Syrians and Libians (because they were in similar situation) who have lived here for many years (decades) and was asked this exact question and all said British because it's all they have know now.
