Not anyone and everyone can be English. The English are an ethnic group native to England. Our ancestors are the indigenous Celts, the Germanic Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings, and the Normans, who were Vikings themselves, just with a layer of French culture. All kindred stock, blended over centuries into one people: the English.
We have our own language, our own culture, and our own character. This didn’t come from thin air, it came from blood, from struggle, from generations rooted in this land. Our DNA runs deep, tied to the soil beneath our feet. 🏴
