Englishman are you a mongrel?
|
I have read all sorts of rubbish on this site, people saying the British are a mongrel race. Non slavic northern White europeans are all related but have settled in various parts of the union throughout history. Arabs are arabs wether they have an iraqi or egyptian or saudi parentage. I think the term 'mongrel' is used by sad individuals who have no connection with their past (my great great great grandfather was famous in his time) and are either ashamed of their nation or themselves. Your thoughts please; How may english people consider themselves to be a mongrel. Additional Details Lots of nice responses, all confirming that the majority do identify with english/britishness. I think race is different to nationality and most people who consider themselves English do not buy into the governments and others spin about us being a nation of immigrants. This diatribe is spouted in order for us to accept the watering down of our identity by mass immigration from anywhere and everywhere.

Definitely not, accepting that we have been invaded in centuries past, and crossed genes with many others, I do not consider myself a mongrel. For centuries my ancestors were native to this island and that makes me British. I hate it when people are asked to define "Britishness", you either are or you are not. My view is that the watering down of our culture and heritage was done deliberately in the pursuit of multiculturism, a system that is clearly failing. Denigrating one culture does not make the acceptance of another easier, it merely creates division and resentment. We need to get our pride in our country back, re-instate that which has been taken from us. The breaking up of the Union was a big mistake in my opinion, it has weakened us as a whole, divide and conquer is not just a cliche but a tactic which will further the cause of the european federalists. Stand up and be proud to be British, despite what the politicians are doing to brainwash you into thinking otherwise. Rule Brittannia! Loving ones country does not make you a racist or xenophobe, just a loyal citizen. . |

I consider myself to be English as I was born here and so where my parents and grand parents - not that it matters who your forebears are. I have an ancestor who was the High Sheriff of Lancaster in the 1600's - Captain Lees - a very distant relative - I don't think that makes me any more English than anyone else - I think that you are who you want to be.
If we go back far enough we would find that pretty much everyone is of mixed race - Viking, Norman, Roman, Saxon, etc - but I just consider my parents and theirs - they were English and so am I. |

I consider myself an Englishman to the bone, with family heritage traceable over 500 years in this country, i would say i have a right to do so. I find it highly offencive when the government try and water down my sense of nationality, but being a working age, white man. Means the government feel it is fine to step on us, as to not offend ethnic "minorities", women or the elderly. |

I am English,
Never British, anyone can be British these days, it means nothing,
Plus Gordon Brown wants us to be all British, and he hates the English, thats why he his trying to wipe England off the map, by breaking England up into regions. |

British and proud of it , you are right the word "mongrel" is used by people who very sad and the PC brigade , by the way word "mongrel " comes from Mongelia and has no real connection with Europe at all , just an other case of the hijacking of language. |

I am British and I am proud to be so. Although I was born to English parents and have always lived in England, I am NOT English, I am British. Mind you, I had a Scots wife and my great grandmother was Welsh, both thought of themselves at British and so do I. I am not a mongrel but I'm pretty sure that when I can go back a bit further in my ancestry I will find, possibly, Danes, Saxons, Germans, or what-have-you. But I'm still pure (in my mind) BRITISH. |

I'm a mutt. I thought I was polish on my fathers side, until he recently let me know that his father was Irish, went to school in Poland, (guess that explains why I like to drink) then moved to the US. At this point I believe my ancestry is Austrian on my Mothers side, and Irish and Polish on my fathers side. I'm a blonde haired blue eyed mutt, and proud of it. |

And what is wrong with being a mongrel? Look at dogs.....mongrels have a far better, healthier life. Whereas breeds always seem to get health problems, deforminities, illnesses and die at a younger age.
Whether I'm a breed or a mongrel I'm proud of who I am! I don't need to answer to anyone. |

Well, there was a similar question not so long ago and I'' give you the same answer I gave them:
Although I was born & bred in London both my parents are foreign: My father is Greek and my mother was born & bred in South Africa, although her parents are Spanish and Chinese. My 1st husband's maternal side were German and my second husband is half Norwegian!
So in answer to your question, do I consider myself to be a mongrel, I suppose in the true sense of the word I am, but I am who I am and because of that I am all the more richer. |
