For example, amid all the complacency surrounding these developments, nobody asked this question: If the fact that ‘white Britons’ now comprised a minority in their capital city was indeed a demonstration of ‘diversity’ (as the spokesman from the ONS had said), when might it cease to be so? The census had shown that some London boroughs were already lacking in ‘diversity’. Not because there weren’t enough people of immigrant origin but because there weren’t enough white British people still around to make those boroughs diverse.
