Musicians are prostitutes
I'm listening to band on the run rn, funny enough
One of my favorite songs
I definitely think it's noteworthy becuase they are some of the most iconically "British" people and aren't so by blood
The Irish are British
But if they're iconic it's for the wrong reasons
false
Ireland isn't apart of britain
Look it up
Political administration units are not ethnicity
I know southern Ireland is a republic
60 years ago a quarter of the world's population was governed by the UK but that didn't make all those people British by any means
Ireland is considered one of the british isles but not apart of "britain"
I know
Britain is an island
Ireland is a separate island
Sure there's enthic overlap but there is a stark distinction culturally
Culturally how?
Ireland is mostly germanic and increasingly so, but their native language is not so. There is still that major difference though
Vague differences in pronunciation
No
What does this even mean?
Germanic is referring to language groups. Most of them speak english which is a germanic language
Also over 90% of the population of Ireland speaks English as a first language
It's not a considerable difference
Not huge, but considerable
Watch Edward Dutton's video on irish iq
One interesting idea is the theory that the irish have mediterranean origin which would explain the difference in Irish people being more happy and cheerful and the english being known for being depressed and having dark sense of humor
And so on for the contrasts between northern and southern european characteristics
The Irish seem really bitchy in my experience while the English seem funny
But maybe it's just anecdotes
They aren't related to Mediteranneans beyond the typical relation between Europeans but they did historically migrate to the peninsula
In the video he suspects there is a small percentage from spain due to trade and this can be seen in the population of swarthy irishmen
Euh
I disagree
