Wrong. The Picts were distinct both racially and culturally from the Britons.

See here and here.

And Briton doesn't refer to someone who lived on the British Isles in this context, it refers to the race that previously inhabited modern-day England and Wales, who spoke a language known as "Brythonic".

Sorry but the Romans named the part that is now England & Wales .... Brittania. The part beyond hadrians wall they called Caledonia that part is now mainly called Scotland. (Hadrians wall runs from Carlisle to Newcastle ... England) :)
Scottish not British

"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Fix'd.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Well you can either take information on the different roman names for regions 2000 years ago or you can accept that everyone who lives in Britain is British. u wouldnt call people from sections of france Aragonian.

The term does have some basis in reality, a "race" can be define by either their genetic lineage or by cultural hertiage.

If you go by this logic the entire world apart from the area of north eastern Africa were Humans originate from are "immigrants".

According to which culturally-constructed racial continuum?

Those people who are telling you that "race" has no basis in biology? They're right. "Race" is purely a culturally-constructed identity, and two groups that may be considered distinct races in one culturally-constructed conception of race, may be considered the same race in another, or vice-versa.

Britannia came from the Brythonic word Pritani. The Irish called the Picts Cruithini, which is almost certainly a cognate (Gaelic Q/C is Brythonic P). Caledonia probably came from the Caledonii, a Pictish tribe. It makes more sense to suggest that the Picts were essentially the Ancient Britons who were not conquered by the Romans, than to suggest that the Picts were a distinct nation beforehand and that the Romans conveniently just stopped where the border between them and the Ancient Britons was (not least since the Romans advanced further at least once during their stay).

Of course there are some minor differences between people across the planet, with melanin concentration in the skin being the most obvious.

That has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with us almost all being immigrants.
