    Another retarded quote. The English are Germanic because English is a Germanic language which was first spoken in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms of early medieval England. And besides that there are many racial elements brought by Germanic speakers (Anglo-Saxons, and even Vikings to a degree) in the English population.

    Blondism in England can be compared to Denmark, the low countries and North Germany, english blondes have a strong reddish undertone, it can be described as a dark golden blond with additionally reddish strains (strawberry blond?), and they are similar in that regard to west germanics, while Irish are more often pure gingers/red haired and at the same time darker haired (altough not by much).
    As a whole in terms of blondism the English are closer to Dutch,Germans and Scandinavians then to Irish,Scottish and Welsh.
    For the English, it's a sandy-blond to light brown. Yes, in blondism the English are very similar to the Dutch, North Germans and Danes. The English differ by having more of the reddish-blonde rather than plain blonde more common than Dutch and North Germans, while the Danes, other Scandinavians have more of the lighter blondes. Actually we (Flemish) are less blonde-haired than the English. The Welsh, Irish and Scottish are also slightly less blond-haired than the English with obviously more freckled, gingers, are at the same time slight more blue-eyed (Irish and Scottish) and paler than the English.

    Ethnic people from the baltic states ( not the russian descendants)are also famous for their fair hair. and dark blonde/borderlineblondish-lightbrown is extremely common among czech, polish and western slavic populations, even adults.




    Irish and British people are the kings of hair darkening, you can see a lot of groups with mostly blondish toddlers, and their adults almost all with dark brown hair.
    "Kings of hair darkening"! Wow, I am now starting to question your intelligence. Where are you from? I am beginning to wonder if you've even had been to Britain or even Ireland. I think you are talking with emptiness. Everyone darkens to some degree as they age!! It has nothing to do with being a British or an Irish person.

    The average English is blonder than what would be the average Brit.

    It is time to smarten up a little. Prince Williams is by far predominantly white (99.3-99.7%) and his Indian or South Asian ancestry is negligible and of absolutely no importance, since it amounts to only 0.3-0.8% according to DNA tests. Enough of the drama.

    Considering the english and British Islanders as germanic was always handy , because It means an automatical addition of several millions of peoples to the germanic world Counting the english and sometimes even scots as germanic and not the Irish really doesnt make any sense, since both cultures and outlook of those peoples are extremely similar. The english are nothing like their neighbours on the other side of the north sea.
    The English and the Lowland Scots are Germanic!! The Welsh, most Scottish and Irish are Celtic. The English (Germanics) have been the dominating group in the British Islands for a very long time, they colonized the Welsh, Scottish and later the Irish, suppressing or trying to suppress their various Celtic-derived languages, cultures. This is why the English language was imposed by force by the English colonists on their Celtic neighbors whom most were reduced to a mere form of slavery or were given a higher position to rule over their Celtic brethren if they collaborated with their English masters. Their cultures are not similar, it is just the English culture dominated the other cultures, until the were Celtic revivals which spoke of resistance to the English culture. I can see that you do not know much about British people or history.
    When Weale et al in 2002, compared the Y-chromosomes of North-Welsh populations, with Central English, Dutch(Friesland province), Norwegians. He found there was virtually no difference or significant differences between the province of Friesland and the Central English town populations while there was a strong genetic barrier between the North Welsh and the Central English. So definitely the English are as a whole Germanic.

    Yes, the English are quite comparable to the Dutch, Germans (North) and overall lighter-haired than the Welsh, Irish, even most Scottish. In fact, a lot of the dark hair in England is linked to Celtic admixtures. Nevertheless they are not lighter-eyed than other Britons and the Irish. It is also true that they have stronger reddish undertones than their Germanic cousins directly across the North Sea, though Icelanders and quite a few Norwegians are like that too. The most typical hair colour is sandy and eye colour is blue like Jonny Wilkinson ( Former English rugby player). The most common hair colour range between (dark) blond to (light) brown. Not all Dutch, Germans are blond either!

    False, very false. Not all Dutch and Germans are blond! Where are you from? Within the Netherlands and Germany, blond hair, blue eyes decreased significantly from north to south. The Limburg province is much darker-haired, darker-eyed than Friesland(Netherlands) or Baden and Saarland are much darker than Schleswig-Holstein(Germany).

    The English are not 40% fair-haired though I can name quite a few English fair-haireds: Unity Mitford, Arthur Harris, Jane Goodall (a blonde with central heterochromia), Boris Johnson (1/8 Turkish ancestry), Tom Odell, George Ezra (he's dirty blond).

    The mainlanders' perception of the English is that they are typically dark-haired and blue-eyed, like Lord Byron, T. A. Edison, Virginia Woolf, Winifred Wagner, Henry Cavill.

    What is classed as 'fair hair' though. Is there a scale that we can all use? Take a look at my 'Classify ME' thread. Do you think my hair is fair? http://www.theapricity.com/forum/sho...75-Classify-ME!!!
