In the UK, there was pretty much only a movement of Celtic culture, rather than actual people. Also, there were people here before the Celts, who were the Britons.

...Yep, since you're referring to me, I assume you read the top of the page where he talked about how easy he tans, and how he gets teased about it. It was a joke, and I'm sure he took it as one (if he didn't, I apologize), but I will stop.

Which is what I was referring to in the first sentence, but Britons usually mean the Celts in Britain (the Ancient Britons that is, nowadays it's the demonym of the UK).

I usually use Britons for the pre-Germanic peoples of the British Isles, and British for modern day people of the British Isles, who are Britons with Pictish, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Viking and other stuff mixed in.

I'm Scots, Welsh and one rogue Englishwoman, bless her for the adventurous woman she was; but my kids can add another double dose of Scots, plus Swedish and French, and their kids, going by present partnering, will add (a) Irish and English (b) more double Scots (c) Scots and English (d) Spanish and Aboriginal (e) double Vietnamese.

So by the time we get to that stage, we'll finally be proper melting-pot Australians.

Not strictly true. He was Norman. The Normans weren't really French. Anyway, the standard claim is that she's German.

Well, all Anglo-Saxons are Germans as well. Heck, the majority of whites in Britain are just lost Germans. Who were the original Britons, anyway?

EDIT: But, yes, thank you for informing me of that, I appreciate it.

I think an issue with that is that you'd really have to compare it with the other lot.

Well people indigenous to Central and South America are genetically native american even though due to mestizaje they don't wanna regard themselves as such

If they don't wanna face up to it, if they're more comfortable acting like Europeans than they're welcome to, but if they're gonna be like that they should just put their ethnicity as European or not put it at all
