Are the English really a mogrel race?!?

The English are an amalgam of all that is best of the European settlers. It took the best part of 900 years for them to blend into the elite that they have now become.

It is only during the last 30 or 40 years that efforts to water down our blood line by importing undesirable elements from backward countries that are now bringing disrepute into our quality as a nation.

Yep, but that is good thing. First rule of genetics, spread the genes about. Look at Amazon tribes in South America inter breed for generations they are usually still living like cavemen.

If you look back into the history of any country in the world, there has always been at some point a mixing of races. It is what made humans into what they are today.
And, incidently, did these so-called intelligent, exponents you speak of mean Emgland only of were they including the whole of United Kingdom in their assessment that they are a mongrel (not mogrel) breed?
Scottish people are quite happy to let it be known that they have scandanavian, viking blood in them. The only blood they will not accept as running through their veins (no matter how diluted) is English.

Do I see a little sour grapes your question

nowt wrong with us British ---Just we are a soft touch country.

All "races" are mongrel, or mixed if you prefer. We're all just human beings. The differences between us are cultural more than anything. Those differences are real, but much more complicated than labels like Black or White, or even English or Welsh. Do middle class and working class people share the same culture? Townies and country folk? Northerners and Southerners? Scousers and Mancs? The answer in each case is yes and no. We're all just people at the end of the day, we need to learn to live and let live.

yes, most races are mongrel. But that isnt the question. Immigration concerns aarent about the color or genetics of the people, but the culture. As more muslims, mexicans chinese and africans move into an area, history and customs are lost. Just like when white colonials mved into africa or native american lands. Anytime two cultures mix, much is lost.

to the guy above me Ben,

Please! Spare us the Kindergarten phrases such as "there is only one race, the human race etc."

Acknowledging that there are different races and that we humans have differences does not constitute racism. It constitutes reality. Time to take the fluffy pink shades off. (yes, I know its ironic I say this...)

stewart_prsn

ok ok there is no pure race... i think what your saying is yes we should have some imigrants but not as many as what the fools are letting into the country... anyone can get in here now!! its like a free for all.. ryan air should raise the prices of air fare for one!! that would deter a few of the scroungers..
we are british whatever these morons say!! we stopped the french under napoleon invading and adolfs army too!!
lets stop the eastern block now churchill was right .. its from the east they will come ..who we will have to fight!!!

g.m

yes ::::: but at least we can spell , and "look after" when the going gets tough ..the white dragon ::!!!

Good narrative.

I guess if you go far enough in the human past and if you check the Genographic maps, you would have to assume that there is not one nation on the face of the earth whose people aren't "mongrelized".

I have to laugh when someone says they are 100% Italian or Spanish or German.... As if raping, pillage and conquering never existed....

Googlypants

Wow that sounds like a well thought out question!

So what was the question again?

angela R

What is your point? That the English are a race? No one is arguing that....The world is much smaller today, than in those ancient times....People are now mobile and easily migrate....No race will ever be pure.....Sorry to disappoint you....

lordkelvin

1. The English aren't a race... no more than the Spanish, the French, Germans, Mexicans etc.
2. If that keeps up soon the state, county, or even the city that you belong to will be a race.
3. The above naming of a race is mostly used to divert attention from the real issue.
For example, in the US one is called a raciest if he is opposed to illegal immigrants... most specifically as a racist against Mexicans (a country) or Latinos in general (a language). The real issue of having control over who is allowed to enter a country to take advantage of jobs, schools, or social services is ignored. Mainly because the arguments against such controls are weak to nonexistent.

nice one

taxed till i die,

The word you are looking for is mongrel.

White Boy

well, whomever they are mixed with, they should only allow people with good teeth into their country now, so that the new immigrants can pretty up the gene pool

Richard F

But they imported their Rulers from Germany recently and culturally that is obviously more important that where the common people came from.
You can track all the tribes that ended up in England across Europe. but before that it is conjecture.
I really do not get the point of calling names.

K. Marx iii

It is my proposal that all white tribes are mongrel. The proximity of the countries and years of interbreeding has resulted in an unclear distinction between the tribes of Europe.

For instance, all those whites who call themselves "British" can trace family roots back to places like Greece, Turkey, Italy, Russia, Israel: to name a few.

JessicaRabbit

NO! I think you are being pretty nasty! We are humans, not animals!

Blondie

there is not one purebred race so I guess we are all mongrels

actually mongrel is a canine expression..not usually applied to humans

KEVIN C

100 meters very fast race !!!!!!!!!!!1

Anniekd

I think that 900 years of settling constitutes an actual race, but I'm sure they mean "mongrel" in comparison to other, less mixed races. I guess you could call others "purer" but that gives the impression the English race is dirty or something, which you obviously aren't. Seriously, the picture of a mongrel race? Ha! Try America, we totally don't even HAVE a race. I'm proud to be a mutt, personally. I'm Polish, Lithuanian, German, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English (it's a true race, I tell you!) and perhaps French.

Are Americans really a genocide thieving race? They stole the land from the Native Americans and wiped most of them out. Columbus even wrote that they were a peaceful STUPID race and it would be easy to take their land from them.

Hootie J

yes, what consititutes a race? how many years/ generations ?

My family is 5 generations Canadian and I still get asked what my ancestoral heritage is. I suppose that we were derived from England/Ireland/Scotland but because there are no real records when do we start a race?

Proudly white anglo saxon Canadian

Justin Case

Remember though, the main reason there are no pure races is not because of some idealistic dream of multiculturalism, but more accurately as a direct result of hundreds of years of being raped and pillaged by barbarians.

cynical

Yes, I think so. We are all mongrels, I don't think there is any race that hasn't been mixed with some other races.

yeesang

Nope, it's the gypsies of Hungary.
