Not at at all, no more than I will be Italian or Norwegian or Russian or Chinese because at some stage I likely had an ancestor from one of these places, or does it worry you that on that basis you could be called a Briton , bearing in mind the chances are that if the theories are correct any Ancient Briton who has living descendants is likely to number you amongst them.

Its what makes theories of Racial superiority so stupid bearing in mind if you go back far enough (possibly only 2000 years)everybody is descended from everyone who currently has living descendants.

The prospect is that in a few thousand years if I have living descendants at that time all living humans wlll count me as an ancestor.

Yes, also if you think (I read this somewhere recently) that you come from two parents that come from four that come from eight, etc....

You don't have to go back too many generations to exceed the number of people on the planet...

Incest is the only possible solution to the corundum... :x

Oh so on the one hand, stud, you want royalties because you are 'descended' from a Greek who invented railways but on the other hand you are not Greek in case Greeks derive some special status for autochthony?

Yeah, that about sums you up. You are a debauched, opportunist Brit. :D

While you on the other hand are a mean and nasty racist cow.
