I don't know why people continue to perpretrate these anthroboard myths. People if they wish can pick out some darker people of any group but how statistically significant is it compared to others? The English people actually have the most brown eyes more than any of the Insular Celts but the Insular Celts are not the most closely related populations to each other which is another misconception. Irish and Scots are closest to each other, then to English and then to Welsh. So English are closer to Welsh than the Irish are and the English are closer to Irish than the Welsh are.
A lot of people don't know these sort of genetic quirks. The Welsh have the smallest population of 3.1 M (not counting Northern Irish but they are a province).
