Why slag off other races?
For your information, “Brits” are actually English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish, not just English.
There is no such thing as a totally English person, as they all are of mixed heritage. As are the majority of other races, in various countries.
How many people have traced their heritage to find that they are of mixed race?
Whoever started this debate should look to their own heritage before trying to say they are “better” than any other.
You have only got to look at the beliefs of Adolf Hitler to see what that led to!

Oh I know, this is silly, and yes I am well aware that all you named including the Welsh, such as Zeta-Jones, are in truth “Brits.”

This was started for who knows what reason — some website started by people who think they are ‘beautiful’ is out there and ‘members’ decided Brits were ugliest people (women, I assume) and Norwegians most beautiful.

It’s foolish, and meaningless, and wrong, but I only answered as I felt like nitpicking about Zeta-Jones. I also corrected someone else who posted a picture of the Italian Sophia Loren claiming she was a Brit and an exception to British ugliness. It’s all ridiculous. Don’t take it seriously.

This thread should be dropped — I thought it was...yesterday.

Cheerio!

Welcome to Free Republic, and do you need help pulling that wedgie out of your rear?

I'm of mixed ancestry, being of Scottish and English descent, although we suspect there is a Welsh in the family woodpile.

Chill out, don't take offense so easy as this is really a nice place. Sit back and have a good time.
