Just for the record- I'm overwhelmingly of English blood. My family names include Woodward, Blackburn, and Lane. I have papers back to the 1400's, and historical-legend back to William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings. So I guess I'm actually Norman.
I'm proud as fuck of my heritage, but part of that is also acknowledging that there is lots of German, Scottish, Welsh, and French blood mixed in there.... I know I'm a mutt, but I consider myself geographically Northern, and ethnically English.
At least I have something, diluted as it may be.
So yeah, if you're Irish, my ancestors probably killed your ancestors. Then we both got poor and sailed across the Atlantic to America....where we continued to kill each other, and everyone else, eventually blending into a bunch of dirty mutts who post on some website....
