re: #267 dangerman

culture is where and how you live
not where or how your supposed ancestors lived

The various Germanic tribes that moved into Roman-held territories mingled with the largely Celtic locals and Romans, too, of course. The Vikings traveled widely and occupied some places for years. Then, we have the Huns and the Moors. Talking about “pure” European blood is ridiculous, just from that perspective. Add migration to the discussion, and referring to yourself as French or German or whatev loses all meaning.
