I have also seen this brought up a few times. The definition can be linked to a coloniser/colonised dynamic and if you are of the nation that historically colonised you can't be considered indigenous

Aye, it's been nearly a thousand years since England was agressively colonised. I do like to tease gammons with the notion that this is also how long it's been since they had an English monarch; since 1066 it's been Vikings with French accents, same but also part Welsh (the Tudors), a Spaniard, Scots, Dutch, Germans and German-Greeks.

And the English King then only did about 20 years after taking over from some Viking Cnut and his kids.
