I may be Celtic, but I do have Italian friends who guide me in the ways of their food.

Basil is a must.

Normans were also Scandinavian.

My ancestors raped and conquered my ancestors. Who were originally Celtic.

Who do I identify with? The rapist or the rapee?

Norman is it’s own thing, but I’d say it depends on where they hail from. If they’re Normans from England or Normans from Ireland or France, it makes a difference.

Normans typically come from northern France.

They were Scando vikings (Norway and Denmark) who attacked France so much that the king was like "Fuck it, just take this part and leave us alone".

Then the Normans attacked England in 1066 lol

Yeah I’m aware of the history. After Rome and persia, my next favorite topic is the Anglo-Saxons

Normans left very little genetic impact in England. To the degree that that can be certain, that is

True, like I was telling Commie Boy, there's virtually no genetic difference between Normans and Anglos.

Northwest Europe was one big rape, conquer, repeat fest that all opposing factions basically became one.

The Vikings founded Dublin, Ireland for example. That's how intertwined we were.

Weird, I feel like we're only a few steps from full-blown phrenology here. But it's okay because it's about what we now call English people, sorta, mostly

I watched the trio of "Inside the Medieval Mind", "The Normans", and "The Plantagenets" recently with Prof. Robert Bartlett. Interesting stuff.

The Normans invaded England and pretty much conquered it fully, culture and everything within like 50 years. Incredibly fast. So current day England is a mix of Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, and Norman.

Yes

Which is why we should all instantly dogpile on anyone who says that America should not have __________ in it because it is purely a ____________ nation. It's a stupid, historically ignorant stance to take and in the modern era you only ever see it from conservatives.
