I tried this with my parents and it was actually strikingly accurate. It gave my mom 50% Ireland 40% Germany 10% UK, which is essentially her background.

Here's my results from various different...

Somewhat surprising results for someone roughly 50-60% English, 30-40% Irish, and the rest German. My theory that I have distant Swedish/Finnish and some sort of Volga-region admixture via probable...

In terms of history, influence, accomplishments, power, important figures, and so on, blue vs red? The line could be divided in other ways, but essentially the question is "Western" Western Europe vs...

Same reason Africans are in every movie and TV commercial, win all the beauty contests, and that big twerking asses are popular....there is a concerted push by people in positions of power and...

This thread has revealed a common problem which is how to define Celticity and who falls into the group. Most qualities that people put forward for what defines a Celt contain contradictions or...

Second person is my mother and she is predominately Irish (more Clare and Donegal than Leinster though) with Welsh + English from Shropshire/Cheshire and more minor German ancestry.

Well this thread sure put a damper on my fantasies of pan-Celticism allied to pan-Anglosphere. I guess you could say my ideology regarding the various people of Britain and Ireland and their colonial...

For me it's what I'd encompass under a broader concept of traditional music: sacred, classical, and folk traditions, Western but I also enjoy non-Western equivalents.

Though in terms of Western...

The modern Irish do tend be more liberal, but this isn't the more historic trend. Rather it was the English and Scots who were quick to embrace Protestantism (a more liberal version of Christianity,...

It is well known that during the Irish Golden Age Ireland was a center of learning and had a reputation for being both a learned and holy people, especially since they founded monasteries across...

On the topic of Y-DNA, it seems the Plantagenets were likely R1b-U152-L2, typically associated (especially in France) with the Hallstatt/La Tene Celts and Gauls. Hence its kind of interesting to...

The Stuarts are of Breton origin, descendants of Alan fitz Flaad.

Probably the Irish or Scots today.

The largest influence of the P-Celts or specifically Brythonic peoples was during the medieval period via the cultural and spiritual influences of the Arthurian...

Probably an accurate statement, but I think Belgium would be here part of a wider zone, the Western "core" as it were, corresponding to the original Frankish and southern Saxon kingdoms of England,...

In my experience there is a gradient of regular Joe religious types, who are below average to average intelligence, atheists tend to be middling, whereas you tend to find more philosophically...

I've straight up never felt jealous of anyone in my life. This isn't because I think overly highly of myself, I just don't compare myself to others and never have.

The ancient Celts, Chinese, and Indians interest me the most.

Greeks, Persians, Scythians, Egyptians, Germanics, Romans, and other Northeast Asian groups (Koreans, Japanese, Jurchen/Manchus,...

German is my favorite sounding Germanic language. To my ears it sounds simultaneously manly and intelligent. Its poor aesthetic reputation is strange to me as well since I think Romance languages are...

Here's my parent's updated results...interesting how my mother's only changed by 1%, gaining 1% in Irish, but my father's changed pretty big, going from 76% England, 14% Ireland/Scotland, and 10%...

I don't think this was true for pre-20th century Western countries or much of the rest of the world for that matter. Reverence for elders and traditional wisdom and maintaining the cultural mores...

I am Anglo-American or more specifically Anglo-Celtic, British Isles stock, etc. I feel closest to Anglo-Celtic peoples of the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

Next would be other...

I haven't personally noticed the phenomena discussed, but I have heard some claim that in terms of intra-European perspectives there is a pronounced dislike or critical view of Northwest Euros by the...

In terms of taste, an excellent piece of bacon is hard to beat. Maybe not as fancy as a nice steak but I am a burger man myself, indeed if the quality is high enough I could be full on J. Wellington...

Well you are certainly correct that after the Norman conquest Germanic mythology came nowhere close to the importance the Arthurian mythos had in English culture. Heck even straight up Gaelic myths...
