Ah fuck, another hopeless straggler in the endless race of education. DO NOT attempt to tell me that I am wrong when I know that I am right.

Have you read any current historical or archaeological or scientific books, journals or texts recently? Your 'facts' about the origins of the English are hopelessly outdated and incorrect. It's a scientifically proven FACT that approx 95% of all British people (not including 20th century immigrants) have the same genetic origin. It makes me want to puke when I read antiquated and inaccurate rubbish like your statement. You don't work for the BBC do you?

Proto-English theory - Was a Germanic language spoken in Britain prior to the Anglo-Saxon invasion?by Aethelrun5,241 views
Sorry but your mistaken, the American civil war was 1861–1865. your thinking of the American war of Independence, which was 1775–1783, Your knowledge of your own country's history is appalling. And lets not forget that one of the main protagonist was, Mr Thomas Paine, an Englishman from Thetford in Norfolk in England. And American's did not `own me`, as you put it, as I wasn't born until 1953.

What are you talking about? :D What 60%? 60% of white ppl left in England which is about 30% of whole population? I was in London last summer, i thought i came to morocco town or something >_< But when I came to Luton I realized that either it's another Egypt town or your genetic map works wrong :D
I dont give a shit rlly, im not a racist, but all white guys are bout 25-30% of England popiulation.
