Just found that bit confusing because the ethnic mix you posted before Anglo-Saxon is in itself Anglo-Saxon (the Saxons having completely invaded the whole of Britain, minus Ireland, way back in 400-500 AD.
Yeah but no. The Celts (travelling from the region of spain up through france into britain and ireland) were here first. So I identify as a Celt or a Brit over being "English" because the English Saxons are racist, and have spread disinformationfor hundreds of years, as well as trying to stamp out religion, culture, language(existence and evidence?
).
Our monarchs are franco-germanic, we learn English, French & German at school instead of English, Welsh and Gaelic(Irish OR Scottish) - because they were almost systematically eradicated - even today it is only really North Wales who are very proud of their language - the Scottish, and I've been told the Irish too are taught English over either dialect of Gaelic.
Irish Gaelige and Scottish Gaelic were made illegal, and the English spread disinformation about our cultures, to stop us identifying with our roots, and therefore our blood - just 2 more examples of the intolerance, being falsifying history of the Scot/Pict tartans, and making the playing of bagpipes illegal in public in Scotland, to go along with trying to stamp out our ways of communicating behind their backs.
We still have the Celts slandered terribly in the media here - Irish travellers are all made out to be thieves, the Irish are made out to be untrustworthy to the point where I often hear stories of my Irish brothers in building trades having the door slammed on their face, because of the systematic intolerance in the media - brainwashing our brothers and sisters. Here and in France - people with fiery Celtic hair are also systematically abused in the media and the school systems, therefore leading to cultural hatred.
For all I know I could be part Iceni/Viking, Norman, Anglo-Saxon, and Celtic, to name but a few, BUT I have no traced back far enough yet - so I identify as Celtic because the "Anglo-Saxons" are racist and generally
seperatist.
I have no time for seperatism - the only reason I use it is in this instance, but if a fellow Brit gets up in arms about "all the bloody foreigners invading our country and taking all our jobs", I calmly put him in his place by telling him that A) we raped all their countries first as a general rule, and B) that we are all in this boat together -
world citizens, and no one will stamp out our heritage if we hold onto it in our minds hard enough, with the help of the written and spoken words.
Please don't try and school me on my heritage or culture - whilst I could know it better, and that's something I am working on, I do know it better than you.
We still keep in touch, he lives happily with his wife in Miami happily.
