That's the thing - "race" is determined by genetics and by bone and other physical structure, not by skin tone.

By genetics black skinned Tamils and pale freckled Irishmen are the same "race"

Also note that Brits are not only "celtic" descended.

The Celts came to the British only around 500 BC. Before that, there were non-Caucasian, non-Indo-European peoples living in the isles (notably the builders of Stonehenge ) who had dark skin and blue eyes - like Cheddar man

Though, I’m not sure you can extrapolate grand a racial movement from such singular or limited remain finds.
