Not so long actually.
How long do you think some parts of British culture have really existed in that island?
Fish and chips?
Tea?
Two or three generations and something becomes inherently part of a nation.
Indian curry is as british now as tea is.
Exactly the same happens with human phenotypes.
British are not as Lyn's husband imagined them to be. That's just on Lyn's husband's part to adjust his expectations to reality.

The phenotypes are just reflective of a fast change that was facilitated by (or encouraged by?) an oligarchy.
When you have a group of people who have been in a system for generations and they are - under threat of violence - made to pay for large numbers of outsiders to come into that system, it disrupts whatever natural equilibrium is there.
There's no "natural equilibrium" and there never was. There are no "outsiders" nor "insiders".
Just people moving around the earth looking for a better life.
Long before countries even existed.
