Ask British anything about Britain

[Mopi Licinius Crassus]

So, in short, for the British, the whites, are only the Europeans similar to them, such as the North-West, and the Americans, the Australian,Canadians?

I think the United Kingdom has a census of races and among them is British white, Irish white and other types of whites.

other whites...with somewhat different features but light colouring are considered white too...scandy, slavs (especially northern slavs)

south europeans with light features also

ask you're average brit, if they consider, david de gea or nacho monreal white....they will all say yes
ask them if they consider, pep guardiola, rafa nadal or roberto martinez white....you will get a varying response

See profile to side.

War of the Roses. WW1. Early colonial history. Northern Irish troubles was interesting but I forgot most of it.

Alfred the Great, Enoch Powell, Charles Darwin. Many other scientists like newton, faraday, turing I am sure deserve a place among the greats but I don't know anything about physics or whatever.

How British/English are Jersey natives?

Anyone whose skin is pale would be seen as white its a little ambiguous what white means though

Are Spanish classify by stereotyped as non-white, or dark-skinned in the UK?

They would be considered just Spanish I guess. How white they are seen probably depends on the Briton or the Spaniard they are referring too. People may see them as 'Mediterranean' as opposed to, or as a subset of, white. As for what British people think a Spaniard looks like? Probably many think CR7 is a typical spainaird/Iberian.

The English get along well with other British like the Welsh and Scottish?

Yes, Irish too, Universities have people across the home countries and there isn't really any cultural difference or even much acknowledgement of people's different origins until rugby comes on. British Islanders are also heavily mixed with each other. Of course sometimes there may be mild political tension over various issues but there isn't any on the personal level. Scottish Independence is popular but they aren't really that Anti-English inter-personally they just want political independence.

Like this:

Where in Britain is your ancestry from?

Your favourite period / subject of British history?

Your most admired British historical figures?

1. East Sussex and Kent on my maternal side, Norfolk on my paternal side. If we're including all of the British Isles, then I have ancestry from County Donegal in Ireland on both sides, County Roscommon on my paternal side, Dublin from my maternal side, and distant Hebridean ancestry from my paternal side.
2. I'll probably go with the Viking Age, since it is very interesting to me to see the massive impact that Scandinavian settlers left on British culture, genetics and language that is still present today. In a close second place would be the Age of Discovery and the founding of the British Empire.
3. Charles Darwin, Francis Drake, Isaac Newton, Alfred the Great

Are Spanish classify by stereotyped as non-white, or dark-skinned in the UK?

I think people here would still broadly consider the Spanish white ethnically, but when describing their pigmentation a term I hear a lot is "olive-skinned".

The English get along well with other British like the Welsh and Scottish?

I'd say so, although there are anti-English sentiments present in both Wales and Scotland (and Ireland, for that matter), but to varying different degrees. I think it's less about a dislike of English people and more about a general disapproval of the direction of the British government, though. The Scots narrowly voted down an independence referendum a few years ago, but there's still a very sizeable minority that wish to secede from the United Kingdom. But at the end of the day, if you stick an Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman in a pub for an evening, all three will have a merry old time.

How British/English are Jersey natives?

They are almost entirely Anglofied these days. Most support England in sports, they eat similar food, watch the same TV shows, listen to the same music, and most cannot speak their native language. They do have their own cuisine that includes dishes like bean crock.

Spoiler!

They also have some folk traditions including dances, songs and lore but little of their musical or dance traditions have survived. I am sure there are differences in the character of the people's who live there but I have not spend much time there at all so can't describe such intricacies. The accent sounds a little South African though, which is interesting.

Like this:

Yeh if they are native Britons they would be considered white politically at least. Though many people can be quite literal about what constitutes white, they might describe him as olive. Like I said its a bit ambiguous what White means here. I think many would consider all native Europeans as white in a political sense.

The British consider themselves as Europeans?

Well, Interestingly People refer to 'Europeans' or 'Europe' sometimes when speaking of mainland Europe/Europeans. I think people understand Britain is part of Europe geographically, and would understand they are a Genetically European people, that much is certainly agreed upon. How Politically integrated Britain should be with Europe, and to what extend British people should have a European identity is a very divisive topic here.

all integrated 100% in the UK

the club nolonger exists. closed years ago

Thanks mate

And what about Venezuelans? Do you know about some Venezuelans living in there?

If the answer is yes how well do they integrate into the British society?
