Again, WTF? You made the mistake and I looked the fool? Logic wise you seem overly in touch with your feminine side sometimes, you know that?
And Fry's mum was born in England looking at the name, so he's not an immigrant at all. He just has one set of foreign grandparents.

Fry's mother was born in Austro-Hungary... I watched "Who do you think you are?" only two weeks ago.
The problem isn't my logic - the problem is that you can't work out even the most basic things and you need things spelt out for you. You looked a fool over your dodgy figures, and now you're on the defensive. So instead of saying to my original fry comment "No he isn't, he's second generation" you had to be an arsehole... twice ("How does that make him... etc" for the second comment instead of "No, that makes him 2nd generation"). You don't actually provide information, you just say "You're wrong!" - it's pathetic.
I hope that has spelt it out better, I'll put in chronological bullet points next time.
Stephen f***** Fry
is the son of an immigrant. His mother Marianne
was born in Austro-Hungary. Whether that makes him first or second gen I don't care - but he fits your criteria for inclusion in your dodgy statistics. </BLOCKQUOTE>
FFS Retro, I'm not here to educate you unless I feel like it. My first reply was 'no, he isn't', then in my second reply I told you that doesn't make him a 1st gen immigrant. What do you want, a ****ing essay on definitions or something? Man up.
And to my mind he's not an immigrant of any generation, as his father was British. He has foreign blood, but that doesn't mean immigrant. Otherwise we're going with the definitions used by people like the nazis and the American south, which is not I feel, the best direction to head in.
