@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

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