Anglo-Saxon
I think he agrees on the biological construct of race than he letās on
Uh huh. Why not the Celts?
Celts too.
So not Germans
Anglo Saxons are Germanic.
Good answer.
But the Celts were not. And the Germanic migrants to Britain were from diverse cultures as well.
What Iām driving at is that it gets quite fuzzy, quite fast. Celts have a different ancestry than Germanic migrants, who have a varied ancestry already. They would not be āone raceā in rajās terminology.
Dog pedigrees can get fuzzy too but that doesnāt mean specific breeds donāt exist.
Ancient Galatia (/É”ÉĖleÉŖŹÉ/; Greek: ĪĪ±Ī»Ī±ĻĪÆĪ±, Turkish: Galatlar) was an area in the highlands of central Anatolia (Ankara, Ćorum, Yozgat Province) in modern Turkey. Galatia was named for the immigrant Gauls from Thrace (cf. Tylis), who settled here and became its ruling caste in the 3rd century BC, following the Gallic invasion of the Balkans in 279 BC. It has been called the āGalliaā of the East, Roman writers calling its inhabitants Galli (Gauls or Celts).
Why did you post that? What has it to do with what I said?
Iām showing you that you preconceived notion of āCeltsā doesnāt match actual historical fact, as Celts have immigrated into what is now central Anatolia in modern Turkey, and is now evident in the genetic markers of some Turks .
The same principle can be applied to other ancient ethnic groups therefore any āfuzzy constructā is meaningless and you donāt have clean distinction.
The Gauls of Anatolia are no longer extant having been replaced by other peoples. In his book The Gallic Wars, Caesar describes the Gauls as tall with blue eyes and often red hair. Does that description apply to the Anatolians or Spaniards? Celts today survive in Brittany, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
Umā¦no. Letās deconstruct that for a second - there isnāt an unifying āCeltic heritageā in what is now the UK. While there is cultural kinship and similarity in the language, they donāt share much common genetic traits - theyāre more similar to other English groups than theyāre among themselves. Cornish speakers are actually Anglo-Saxons who happened to pick up a local language.
Shared language and culture do not imply genetic or even ethnic homogeneity and talk about distinct European āracesā is pseudo science at best.
Also, there is a huge genetic variation (and subsequently visual as well) among the Turks, legacy of their startlingly heterogeneous genetic makeup. People in the pictures below are Turkish celebrities, for example. According to pseudo-science, theyāre much more like the āNorthern European raceā than Tom Jones or Catherine Zeta Jones.
A few blond Turks doesnāt prove that āthere are no distinct European racesā. DNA sequencing can determine exactly where youāre from - R1B being predominantly Western European.

Funny how cultural Marxists continue to deny that race exists in the face of modern science.
āā¦genetic analysis enables us to determine the geographic ancestry of a person pinpointing the migrational history of a personās ancestors with a high degree of accuracy, and by inference the probable racial category into which they will be classified in a given society.ā
Around 15-20% of Turks have R1B, for example. How does that fit into your theory of āracesā?
Cultural and linguistical European groups do no constitute āracesā
Turkish R1B is subclade R1B1B whereas Western Europe is R1B1A. However you havenāt explained how DNA sequencers can attribute the race of a sample.
