Who do you consider British?

[Balmung]

All you British islanders look alike to me.

.......Wait this happened before.

Well, the way i consider it British = Someone from Britain. Britain = One of the Islands in the British Isles. So someone from Ireland is from the British Isles, but they are Irish, as they are from the second main island known as Ireland.

But maybe i've spent too long in the Republic of Ireland, and they've converted me over to their heretical thinking that the vast majority consider themselves Irish and not British.

So maybe the name Ireland is redundant, and shouldn't be used?

'British Isles' is the correct term for the archipelago and the Irish can go cry about it all they like, it's not going to change. Thus they are 'British Islanders' along with the inhabitants of the UK. Whether you confine the term 'British' solely to inhabitants of the UK is up to you.

Albion you have Norn Irish ancestry from what I can remember?

Yes, its 2 generations ago at its most recent though and the remaining 3/4 of my ancestry is English so I've never really connected with it. There's both Protestants and Catholics in there from Cork, County Armagh and Wexford. Those from Cork and Armagh bore Scottish surnames and from Wexford had English and Irish. I don't claim Scottish ancestry because I only know that the surnames are Scottish, not how they got to Ireland. Besides, Scottish ancestry via Ireland is like saying German ancestry via the Anglo-Saxons - daft (Der Spiegel and DM put it that way though... ).

This is multiple choice.. so choose all applicable.

Someone's comment on another thread made me think of this.
I'm curious what you guys would say.

Common sense! The people native or indigenous to Great Britain. They are principally racially a Nordid people.
