I’m British But

The conflict within second-generation Asians. Born and raised in Britain, yet conscious of their alien roots, they express themselves through fashion, music and dance. “Our strength now lies in our ability to transcend the strait jacker of the British way of life. We do not need to belong to the white category that naturally inherits the right to a national belonging… We cannot be fully British until the idea of being British acknowledges redefinition from other cultures… Until then we live in Britain but belong to the diaspora”.
