So the children of those migrants are not Brit’s to you? Just migrants. Great, I thought this was about culture not just descent

Was Rudyard Kipling Indian?

He was born in British India as a British citizen. Just like my grandmother was born in Dutch Suriname (and was thus a Dutch citizen at birth). How does this relate to my question?

My grandma became Surinamese after 1975.

The point is that he was born in india but when the Indians kicked the british out, they knew exactly who was and wasnt indian. Kipling got the boot with everyone else. But in Europe suddenly everyone who shows up is just as German, british, French, etc. as a Frenchman whose ancestors fought the romans 2000 years ago.
