I meant the accusation that white supremacy was "born" in the nordics.
Maybe I misinterpreted what you meant?
That’s where pale white people come from, they killed dark white people across Europe as they spread
I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or just saying completely baseless stuff.
Viking raiders didn't care about the colour of your skin, not to mention the English are visually just as light in tone. Saying it's the root of white supremacy is baseless.
The Normans replaced the Britons who were darker
The Welsh are the only dark people left on the Isles and even they aren’t homogeneous in that anymore
I can't even tell if you're talking about Brittany or England. The Normans pushed out the Celtic bretons in Brittany but that has nothing to do with the isles where the West Germanic angles and Saxons pushed out the native Celtics. There the Normans just came up to rule.
England
Britain is because Rome called the people that lived there Britons
Predating Brittany
Then the Normans did not replace anybody in England other than rulers. The angles already did that, thus "angle land." The Normans pushed out the bretons in Brittany, or northern France.
You’re right, it was the Angles
And the one thing to keep in mind with those tribes is many of them were actually mixed with lineages from the celts themselves because the britons were actively migrating down to armorica and the Iberian peninsula https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armorica
British.
Edit; Im curious as to why this is getting downvoted.
Go the fuck outside
Maybe you should if you’ve never seen a tan person before
I think they were equal opportunity killers.
