British, Britons & Brits!

[Deleted]

Just a reminder because it still irks me that people still don't understand:

Ireland - Country - Irish people.
Scotland - Country - Scottish people
England - Country - English people
Wales - Country - Welsh people

The United Kingdom (UK) - A nation made up of N.Ireland, Scotland, Wales & England.
Britain - an island - British people (Britons)

E.g. People in Scotland are not English they're Scottish and British

Any reason you missed NI people and just went with Irish, Scots, English and Welsh?

I didn't miss N.Ireland, but they're still Irish

[TJ]

I wouldn't waste your time. Britain will always be "England" to most Americans and such.

From, not in.

I’ve been to Scotland, it didn’t give me a sudden desire to eat shortbread and potato scones.

They barely count as people.

What about all the Americans who say they're Irish, Italian, Scottish, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Polish, or whatever, just because their parents, grandparents or even someone way further up the line was from that country at some point, even though they themselves were born and raised in the US, and have never even visited the country whose nationality they're claiming?

[Enfilade]

We just call it those Islands where we took all the beautiful women from :P

The UK isn't exactly known for their beautiful women...

They're desperate for an identity

"Oh you're English"
"Yes"
"My great grandma was English!"
"And?"

They’d be Americans. You kind of answered that yourself.

Their nationalities would be American, ethnically they would be whatever country their ancestors immigrated from (assuming the emigrants were Indigenous or a long standing people from that country).

My nationality is American, but I'm of mixed Southern Italian and Afro-Jamaican ethnicities.

That's why in Wales we've decided to go for sheep instead.

[Aggrophobic]

Yeah, you're all english to me.

If you haven’t got British Citizenship, then you’re not British. Your ethnicity might be British-American, but you wouldn’t be British.

Because the vikings took them all!!!

It’s more to do with them shovelling food into their mouths and applying make up with a trowel.

They are only partially wrong. Irish girls are nice.
