I'm a bit confused by the point you are raising.

The white guy in the video says the other guy is British. Just not English. Whatever that means to him.

Isn't it the difference between a piece of paper and ethnicity?

I could follow the process to live in China and gain citizenship. Does that make me Chinese? No - I am English. If I had a child over there, with my English wife, the child might get some Chinese documents, but won't be Chinese. If I had a child with an ethnically Chinese lady, then that child would have some Chinese ethnicity.
