The good thing about most countries in the Western world is that we are all made up of immigrants, if there is a true blood , it is hard to find, mind if there are any true bloods left, I would suppose there would be some genetic problems in there somewhere.
Britain, whatever was here before the celtic invasion,Romans and auxillary troops that decided to stay,then the Saxons and Jutes and Scandinavians the Normans and whatever came after, all immigrants mixing blood lines, a pure Heinz 57 mongrel race.
Hey, then some of our mongrel race emmigrated to pastures new including the US. A place where ancient Germanic origin people mixed with more modern Germanic people, making more of the same.You got a few Celts too, those of Ireland and Scotland. Celts being known to occupy the far Western places.
What was left of the celts, well after the saxon invasion of Britannia, they took to naming the indigenous people as foreigners, as they were few and foreign to the the Saec.That word in Saec was whelas which became welsh.Those celts that were not assimilated became welsh and a lot legged it to Ireland. Perhaps the Irish have more celt in them than most, that mixed with Scandinavian and indigenous people, picts I believe.Oh, and a fair smattering of English.
All this saying there is no true blood line, and there no dominant race, everyone is the same. How they become better than most is purely down to their choices in life.
