    I thought so too.

    And personally I think English, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh can all pass as each other's ethnicities. But some faces are more common in England, others in Scotland, etc.

    This one looks distinctly Irish, can't tell the others. Of course she could be English.

    Don't even need to look up the bio for this Australian former child actress as she is obviously fully Irish.

    You can get some Scots who look like that and occasionally some English/Welsh. Although I agree her look is much more prevalent in Ireland.

    ^ This more or less. Colin Farrell types are rare. Britain is both simultaneously more Atlantid spectrum and Germanic than Ireland. However, it is the Germanic that defines England, Pictish+Irish (Dal Riada) defines Scottish nationalism and a Romanized Brittonic celt represents Welsh nationalism. Irish nationalism is associated with Brunn.

    The common classes of Ireland can't pass in continental Europe but British people can. For instance, I can pass in the Benelux but Colm Meaney cannot etc...

    Keltic nordic types are as common as dish water in the Isles and is the common denominator between Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales.

    This is generally true it is the minority types that define Britain etc.. For instance, English people who look straight Saxon out Denmark/Germany/Frisian are 20% or so while 1% of Ireland.

    I'm not sure its that low, maybe in parts of untouched rural Ireland, but in Dublin and eastern Ireland I would say its more like 5%.

    I was looking at some European language videos on Youtube and just by chance I saw this Irish language video and thought the girl doing it looked very Irish, put it this way, its not look I would ever see in continental Europe, and I would argue its not very common in England either, certainly not in Suffolk where I grew up, she looks so specifically Irish so much so that's all she could be.



    She has a really weird accent though, sounds like an North American-Irish hybrid, she's obviously spent time living out in US/Canada at some point, but I knew her Irish part sounded northern shifted (as I live in NI I would know), says later in the video she's from County Donegal.

    Probably ,maybe I was using hyperbole to make a point. Dublin is practically England to me man. I have seen people who are more English in Dublin than in England itself e.g. three piece velvet suits and diamond top canes.
