Normans did elite replacement rather than shag the main populace

"The majority of eastern, central and southern England is made up of a single, relatively homogeneous, genetic group with a significant DNA contribution from Anglo-Saxon migrations (10-40% of total ancestry). This settles a historical controversy in showing that the Anglo-Saxons intermarried with, rather than replaced, the existing populations."

so more than half are not anglo saxon

The english are comprised of Brythonic Celt + Anglo Saxon

A single relatively homogenous genetic group

Hence why genomic companies can tell you what your % English is

Not true though, is it

Since the Norman invasion, the Vikings

This is why non-retarded people build English identity around values instead

So you cannot read then?

Noted.

Disagree with my source? You have comprehension issues.

Except he didnt rebuke anything within it

There's a difference between an opinion piece and the press release for a scientific study

Sort of blows a hole in the whole 'nation of immigrants' thing

Which is what I was constantly told

if you disagree with the janny you get in his dungeon

this one is good too

the blood and soil argument comes up and a wild 2k reappears

I don't find the dinstinction helpful, because there are people who you would call genetically "English" who are culturally not at all English (progressives, internationalists, communists) and people who are not genetically English who are definitely culturally English

Fuck off saxon and Norman scum

Britain belongs to the celts

I guess the question then becomes "What do you want, and why does it matter?"

If you dont believe in an english people then you cant really advocate for an english culture can you

It's not a case of whether I 'believe' in something - it exists

Do I think it's important? Not so much

A group of people can have a culture without being a people on a genetic level

Culture derives from a people

Culture is largely a socially constructed thing anyway

In material terms

No it doesn't

Culture derives from a people in a place over a period of time experiencing an environment, impacted and acted upopn by other cultures/peoples

These are non-static concepts that change over time

They can be considered evolutionary

You don’t need the same ethnicity to be in one culture
