currently london as a wholewasapprox 12% black 12% asian, 5% mixed race/chinese/other (29% non-white). and a further 10% were 'white others', so about 60% of londoners were 'white british' - although even this count of white british, a good many of these are ancestrially foreign (such as irish, french,german,italian,greek/turkish cyrpiot, whitezimbabweans/s.africansetc.), in the1991 census 12% of londoners claimed irish background, now it's only about 3%, most have identified differently that's all - so london is less than 50% british going by ancestry. then there are illegal immigrant populations which are as large as 5-10% of the london population. - what's happening in immigration now i think, over this decade, is we're getting more african immigration, south asian immigration is steady, and we're getting a surge in eastern european immigration. i'd predict by 2011 london will be 20% black, 18% asian, 10% mixed race/chinese/other, it'll be very much close to 50% non-white. the african population will explode, and therefore there'll likely be more blacks than asians, especially when taking into account mixed blacks and mixed asians. i dont see caribbeans growing much, probably slightly, despite high rates of mixing with whites, i don't think they'll fall, and gradually over time many of the mixed race caribbeans will mix back with full caribbeans, and therefore returning the count back in caribbeans. also overtime, as the white population declines, amongst the white population, it'll become less british, less irish, and more eastern european (just like NYC, where people of Italian ancestry are the largest white group, and English, Dutch, andGermans are a small proportion of the white group).

@gotbase Do you mean there will be more blackthen Asian people in Britain or in London.The African population has grownso much. In 1991 census they were about 250,000, now they have overtaken the Caribbean population and have almost caught up with the Pakistani population. I think they number 638,000, or something like that now, and rising fast. In my town they are rising fast aswel, they will catch us Caribbeans up soon, only a matter of time. Do you think the black population will catch the asian population in britain or not??
