Talk:White people in the United Kingdom

Notable contributions?
Does the 'Notable contributions' section serve any useful purpose? Who is included, and who has been omitted, seems very arbitrary. For example, the section states "Yohan Cabaye, who spent five years in English football, is of French descent with some paternal Vietnamese ancestry" - fascinating, but he seems a strange example here.

 * The very same struck me but with similar questions about the article as a whole and related to similarly afflicted articles, now deleted. I've raised the matter at WikiProject United Kingdom. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:40, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The idea of having a "notable contributions" section for an (overwhelming) majority group is preposterous and borderline WP:POINTy. Thanks for pointing out the existence of this section. Generalrelative (talk) 22:33, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:46, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Sourcing issues
Something strange is going on with the sources in this article. The source details for the citation that includes the quote "The Citizenship Survey report has a tone quite different from the Commission for Racial Equality speech (although both were publicy fundeded)..." were for completely the wrong book. I've fixed this with this edit. I also corrected the misattribution of a quote to the wrong source. There might be other, remaining sourcing errors though.

White minorities
There's very little coverage in this article on white minorities. They're mentioned but that's effectively it. The is one paragraph on the denial of a distinction between different minorities, namely how White Irish-ness is lumped in with White British, but that's it. "white people" is meaningless in a UK context, as there are so many minorities with huge differences. The Health stats alone show this. More emphasis must be placed on this here, especially with relation to Travellers and Gypsies (a flawed racial category). UaMaol (talk) 03:51, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
