Neither were "Germanic" groups. They are DEFINED by language, dress, customs. Descent was a lie meant to bring prestige

That was perpetuated by elites who saw themselves as descended from gods, and common folk clustered around this idea

Seriously, these folks who ID'd as a specific ethnicity were not mandated to be blood related by any means

You think that all Welsh speaking folks are descended from people who only ever spoke and ID'd as Welsh? You're wrong. Very.

Fellow white folks, y'all need to stop riding the DNA dick. It tells you nothing of your ancestor's ethnicity. Nothing.
