I assume 'you can't be Black British' for the same reason 'you can't be White South African' ... but neither of those sentences make sense to me.

lynne, care to expand on your logic?

aog, Robeson made several British films, which are worth watching, though fairly low-budget stuff.

The same reason you don't call a dog a horse if it's born in a stable. The same reason you don't call a pick-axe a spade. Had I been born in Tokyo and tried to pass myself off as Japanese, I'd be laughed out of town

So if you were born in Japan and live all your life in Japan .... You wouldn't be British Japanese?

talbot....you are defined by your nationality, not your race. We have lots of black British, as well as Chinese British, etc, etc.

As far as the Japanese were concerned, I'd be either British of a foreigner of some sort. Even if I'd learnt kung fu

If you are going by your physical appearance then What The Funicular would you be if you (of British parents) if you were born in Australia?

What an odd thing to say Lynne. If you were black or white or yellow but were born in Japan then you would be Japanese.
