I was actually going over these statistics for a report last year.

A plurality of white people now have germanic roots.

iirc the switch over happened in the 80's.

They are ashamed. You see people all the time embrace Irish or Italian roots hell even French roots are embraced, but you never see the British roots people speak up.

How come British white people don't discuss their German and French roots? Their motherlands are literally Germany and France. (And unlike the case of this topic, this is actually 100% true.)

Discuss.

Also Italy. A large amount of Romans lived in Britain for a significant amount of time. And I do not believe they all left when the Empire fell

You can. You just can't say you have general "white pride". You can be proud of specific European cultures like Irish for example

My ancestors are from Yorkshire. Came over in the 1680s. Why do I care? At this point, the family heritage is very diluted and mixed with multiple other groups that since came to the modern USA. In fact, within a generation, the family married into a Dutch family.

It's neat, but literally irrelevant to my identity.
