British Hong Kongers were already eligible for British passports until 1996. Boris Johnson just gave them a path to citizenship. This wouldn't apply to all people in Hong Kong. If you know your history, in the 1980's, Margaret Thatcher didn't want to handover Hong Kong to China, but since it was inevitable, she opted to give those British Hong Kongers access to British passports, and the deadline was 1997.
This wouldn't apply to anyone who didn't register for a British passport after 1997.
In my opinion, non-European immigration from select countries is acceptable in small numbers, and that includes British Hong Kongers.
Faith Goldy did an excellent video about how immigration policies before the 1960's gave preference to Europeans, and how demographics is important. She cites the Immigration Act of 1924.
The US Immigration Act of 1924, the most restrictive immigration law in American history, gave majority preference to Europeans, and banned Asians and Africans, except for the Philippines (which was a US colony).

British Hong Kongers were already eligible for British passports until 1996. Boris Johnson just extended that deadline indefinitely. and gave them a path to citizenship. This wouldn't apply to all people in Hong Kong. If you know your history, in the 1980's, Margaret Thatcher didn't want to handover Hong Kong to China, but since it was inevitable, she opted to give those British Hong Kongers who were born before 1996 access to British passports. Presumably, their children would also qualify.
This wouldn't apply to anyone who was born in Hong Kong after 1996.
That's because many Hong Kongers were already eligible for British passports before the handover in 1996. I believe it was around the time of Margaret Thatcher, our beloved Tory who beat back against the Marxists and won the Falklands War against Argentina, who made that policy because Hong Kong was a long-time British bastion in the East.
Boris basically just extended the deadline past 1996.
And, as much as we would like less immigration, if we had to choose a non-Western country for immigration, British Hong Kongers are a preferable choice because they speak English, and are British loyalists. They are not the same as the Mainland Chinese.
Faith Goldy actually did a really solid video on this about immigration to the West. She highlighted that before the 1960's, immigration around the West was primarily European, and the small amount of non-European immigration to the West was from Japan, and the Philippines, which were under US (American) occupation, and therefore held American passports.
That's because before the 1960's, Western immigration policies had a quota system which ensured that the majority of immigration applications were European, and there was a small quota reserved for Westernised non-Europeans, and primarily it was Japanese, Filipino, and we could infer British colonies such as Hong Kong.
This ensured that the West remained majority European, and the minority population were already Westernised.
However, we live in a different world now, but I think immigration policies should be more nuanced like in the 1950's which took into account cultural compatibility.
