Non-white British population reaches 9.1 million

Tick tock, tick tock. That's the sound of White Britain dying out. In the last 8 years, the non-White British population has grown from 6.6 million, to 9.1 million. That's nearly 3 million more or, a 37.4% upward growth. In comparison, the British White population has stayed the same! Yup, that's right folks - the non-Whites are out breeding the Whites. That's not all. The mixed-race population is up nearly 50%, to a total of 986,600. And what does this 'mixed-race' population comprise of? Well, it's White and something else. So, not only are the White's being out bred, they're not even breeding with their own, instead choosing either an Asian (Indian, Pakistani, Chinese??) or a Caribbean/African Black. How's that multi-cultural dream coming along? I never imagined that the White race would be the cause of their own demise, but there you have it. For an intelligent race, we sure are stupid. And to cap it all, these stats are from 2009, so the outlook is even worse today. Tick tock, tick tock......

The non-white British population of England and Wales has grown from 6.6 million in 2001 to 9.1 million in 2009 – nearly one in six of the population.

Figures giving a detailed ethnic breakdown for each of the 423 local authorities were published on Wednesday in an "experimental" data release from the Office for National Statistics. They also show there are now almost a million mixed-race people in the two countries.

The white British population has stayed the same since 2001; there has been an increase in births, but there has also been a similar number of people migrating.

The non-white British population has grown by 4.1% a year, adding up to 37.4% growth – 2.5 million – over the whole period. The only group to shrink is the white Irish population – down from 646,600 in 2001 to 574,200, due to falling birthrates and migration.

A rise in the "other white" population from 1.4 million to 1.9 million is not simply due to eastern Europeans arriving, said the ONS statistician responsible for the report, but also because of the arrival of people from Commonwealth countries such as Australia and New Zealand.

The mixed-race population is up nearly 50% to almost a million for the first time – up from 672,000 in 2001 to 986,600 in 2009. A third are mixed African-Caribbean and white, followed by Asian/white. The ONS said this was not a result of increasing birthrates but because "the population is mixing up more". Haringey, north London, has the highest proportion, at 4.4%.

In 225 local authority areas, more than 90% of the local population is white. That figure is highest in Wales and north-east England. The whitest borough is Blaenau Gwent in Wales, where 96.5% of the population is white British, followed by Copeland in Cumbria, where 96.3% of the population is white.

Brent, in north London, is the most ethnically diverse borough. Just over a third of its population counts as white British, with large mixed-race, Asian, black and Irish communities making up the rest. "Community cohesion is a priority," said Brent council leader Ann John, "As a result, Brent is a vibrant place to live and work, a beacon to the rest of the world."

But some groups expressed fears about the "changing face of Britain". Sir Andrew Green, of MigrationWatch UK, said: "If immigration continues at this rate, our population will hit 70 million within 20 years and immigrants will account for half of new households. We are already feeling the pressures on maternity units and schools. This rise is part of Labour's legacy. Whether they meant to or not, they changed the face of Britain forever."

The figures, published for the third year running, are based by the ONS on fertility rates and death rates, and migration around the country and abroad.

The ONS does not compile figures for Scotland or Northern Ireland, which have their own statistics bodies.
