I suppose if we're going to have a ridiculously long view, there were a number of Roman emperors and popes with Berber heritage. But I'm rather struggling.
But let's be honest he's about as British as he is Indian or American, which is to say, not a great deal.
He's amiable, well-educated, and intelligent (and certainly compared to anyone since Major, whom I don't remember anyway, I'd be very prepared to invite him for dinner). And a barking dog for the particularly cancerous sort of capitalist world-citizen.
I see Rishi's advent less as a success for non-white British people as for the structural influence of global capital permitted and encouraged ever since since Mrs T. The United Kingdom isn't particularly British any more (the sort of British in which I'm extremely happy to include people of Mr Sunak's background, incidentally, ie I certainly don't mean British as a shorthand for 'white'!!), but like most of the western world we're living in a globalist's plaything. Cameron was doing great at representing global capital's interests until he f*cked up on Brexit through his general laziness, while his 3 successors were variously inept, mendacious, and mad, so that Brexit, Covid (that bit isn't anyone's fault ofc), and Trussmess caused all havoc to break loose.
But it's ok now, because we've got someone back in charge to represent the interests of finance again, and who isn't interested in the petty tribalism of actually caring about the specific group of people who live in these islands. Phew.
Sorry a two line comment morphed a bit...
