    In fairness, English is a linguistic bastard child of Romance and Germanic languages.

  • @NJRocks281 English is a Germanic language that was directly influenced by French which is a romance language based off of Latin.

  • @ImperialGuard9001 It is true Hollywood usually does not, but they almost had Robert Redford as Michael Corleone in The Godfather. Its the stupid "regular" people who think they looked like white. We Americans are usually terrible when it comes to anything outside our own country. Some Americans think Anime is Japanese culture, and that Spain is near Mexico.

  • @VictumRoManius William the Conqueror was Norman and so were their people they werent French that didnt even exist. French are mixture of several peoples that live in whats now France. Bretons Occitans Gascons Flemish werent French either but now they are.(With exception of Flemish in Belgium of course)

    First it was mainly a mixture of Norman language(heavely influeced by Old French but with Norse words) and english only with Angevids did it turn to Old French. Still is Germanic like German

  • @SpadaccinoLuciano Realy? I tough jersey shore had realy ruin the Italian image xD I dont know many americans but for most of it American Media never show Blond blue eyed Italians in their hollywood hits of Mafia Tales as examples

  • Wow, Romans that actually look, well, ROMAN. Most people here in America think they were pale, with blonde or otherwise light hair. Then again, they think that of Italians too. Could it be - Did the BBC actually study things rather than just googling it?
