Racism?! You fucking retard thats not racism. And no you don't have to be UK born, as it said here, Steve jobs nearly got knighted but turned down an offer to speak for British government, so if he doesn't do anything for the UK, why should the UK give him a knighthood?

The BBC's article was better.

Those non British can get a knighthood as long as you are recognised for what you've done but, those non British that got knighted, can't use the title SIR.Bill Gates did get knighted.
