What does it mean to be ethnically English?

He's completely correct. A nation is it's people, and if we are replaced, there is no England. England itself was named after the English, not the other way around. We are not here to split hairs with some Europeans that arrived 500 years ago, but pretending this is the same as infinity Somalians is retarded, sorry Josh.

Is this supposed to be a "gotcha"? Come on, FFS.

The minimum requirement is that you have to be White.

He’s literally right. It’s called ethnogenesis.

You subversive

There's a difference between a people who have been here for hundreds of years and those who have come here in the last 40. The British people were NEVER asked.

It doesn’t mean anything to be ethnically English. It’s just a racist trope promoted by cunts on twitter.

No such thing as ethnicity mate.

Mate didn’t even need to go on “Who Do You Think You Are?” One distant French Protestant and the entire “pure English” confidence evaporated on camera. The absolute fucking state of these people 😂

"How far back?" Before 1945, before mass migration. It's not complicated. If @GeorgeGilbertX wants to be a public figure discussing these issues, he should already have answers to these sort of basic questions loaded and ready to shoot.

Go to Japan and tell the Yamato they’re all immigrants and not really Japanese because only the Ainu are real Japanese.

It means to be ethnically English. We don’t need to justify our existence to some smugly self-hating nihilist like yourself.

If English doesn't exist as an ethnicity after 1000 years then no ethnicities exist. But we know full well they do exist.

This is unpleasant stuff. You wouldn't even question the idea that any other ethnicity exists

I’ll just leave this.

Technically all dog breeds derived from wolves, so does that mean dog breeds are redundant because they all have a common ancestor? Nobody says what does it mean to be a Labradoodle when it has ancestry with a Labrador Retriever and Poodle, no we just accept it’s a breed of dog now. To make the claim that English doesn’t really exist because they are a mixture of different ethnicities from different periods of history implies the English are uniquely not allowed to exist as a distinct ethnic group.

What does it mean to be African? What does it mean to be an Indigenous First Nations person? A Korean? A Turk? How far back? How much blood?

Do you think because a single root of his family tree reaches across a narrow channel, that means he's not English? There is nothing worse than a foreigner who tries to deconstruct your identity in order to justify ethnic cleansing.

Means being white and born here. Not third world inbreds Josh

Before mass immigration, the vast majority of citizens of Western nations shared a culture & an ethnicity. Just like Japan. It's hardly surprising that many people still define national identity in terms of ethnicity. It's the default mode for most of human history.

Wait you’re Jewish?

He couldn't be MORE Scando/Celtic with his hair. His genetics ARE this land.

this isn't the dunk that you think it is. English is an ethnicity, a heritage, not a legal term. Grow up with your asinine BS

Who else is sick to their back teeth of this kind of low-iq attempted gotcha?

Anyone who starts banging on about being Anglo-Saxon (who aren't even from the British isles) usually end up being a weird cunt.

200 years unbroken ancestry is enough.

Lefty retardation comparing closely linked ethnic groups hundreds-thousands of years ago in Europe to 50 years of third world uncivilised savages. Well done retard.

In fainess, the Hugenouts were 350 years ago. That's like 14 generations. If he is still thinking he is significantly descended from Hugenouts in a non-Elizabeth Warren "I'm 1024th Native American" way, that just indicates how long it takes for ethnic groups to wash out, mix and stop identifying as seperate and special. The 18th century black population were gone in a couple of centuries.

So if the Huguenots are not English... who must the English be then? Clearly you know what it means to be English - indigenous Briton mixed with Anglo-Saxon.

The utter irony of them saying anyone who's not "ethincally" English should leave England when they've colonised more than half the world. Maybe they should learn to keep their hands to themselves, stop stealing other countries resources and they won't have to many refugees?! 🫠

Retarded. "You have Huguenot ancestors x generations back, which make up a miniscule portion of your DNA, therefore you aren't English."
