english is a racial group? so what attributes apart from being born in england make you racially english? or is that all that is required to be part of a racial group?

Yep. Crime and Disorder Act 1998:
Quote:
An offence is racially aggravated if...
at the time of committing the offence, or immediately before or after doing so, the offender demonstrates towards the victim of the offence hostility based on the victim’s membership (or presumed membership) of a racial group
Racial group is defined as:
Quote:
group of persons defined by reference to race, colour (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origin
