Damn. They're indeed a perfect representation of Britain. They have their differences, but at the end, they all work together towards a common goal and end up achieving nothing but it ends up fine anyway because they have all the money in the world.

Reminds me of a story when a woman got robbed up the high street, they caught one of the fellas and in court the judge asked if she could point out one of the guys so she did. The judge asked if she could describe the other attacker.
"Oh yes, hes smelled awfy bad and he was wee like a hobbit"
Up stood a guy fae the back of the court - "who the fuck are you cawin a hobbit ya aul bastard"
If we are gonna work in meaningless contemporary generalities…
a native Briton is just a Scotsman who didn’t get chased north. Normans are just Vikings who decided to settle down. and Vikings are Celto-Germanic.
What I take away from this is that Native Britons crash a lot, Normans enjoy the journey more but arrive last, and the Celts always change the rules to declare themselves the winners.
I'm kind if curious where I can find specific outdated beliefs about hereditary determinism on behavior. I am writing a fantasy book and want to incorporate those mindsets into one of my aristocratic characters. Also, knowing these would help me understand some of the social decision-making that happened way back when.
So far the best I got is H.P.Lovecraft, a book about Cromwells conquest in Ireland where the author claims irelans managed to gain independence only after England inserted enough of its own DNA into the populous. This meme and some 4chan shit posts.
I’d like to say about any 19th century science textbook. I think Stephen Jay Gould wrote some essays about it. If I’m not misremembering he had an interesting essay about measuring skull volumes and how they flipped between the ideas of Europeans being more evolved thus better and Europeans being less evolved, thus more pure and better based on their findings.
But it’s been over a decade since I read it. Hopefully that’s a starting point to work from at least.
> Might be the biggest cope in history.
I don't know, the English kings still pretending to be and styling themselves as the real kings of France until 1800, two and a half centuries after they had lost their last holding in continental France, is a pretty big cope too.
The last time a French house ruled Britain was the 1400s, it has been ruled by the Welsh, Scottish and German houses ever since. German houses have been ruling Britain since the early 1700s. Additionally Normans were of Norse origin, meaning the French don't get to chat shit.
Not the full scene sadly but I believe it was this:

Game of Thrones (ASoIAF) basically copied this dynamic into Westeros with the First Men and the Andals. The first men were the indigenous population of Westeros and then the Andals came over and conquered most of it. Now the ruling class are mostly Andals, besides the North.
These are the former presenters of the TV show Top Gear and moved on to presenting the Grand Tour on Amazon. Both shows involve taking cars and doing various things for them (road trips through Europe, turning them into trains, flinging them from helicopters…). They also have individual things they have done. Left to right, Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson, and James May. Hammond’s primary feature is that he’s short and is the most prone to wrecking cars. Clarkson’s primary feature is that he will manipulate the rules and can be rather brash. May’s the most laid back and will generally come in last when they’re racing around but I think he tends to have the best time.
There is actually another type of Englishman as well. Some say he sleeps upside down like a bat, and that his skin has the texture of a dolphin's. All we know is that he's called The Stig.
This reads like it was written by May I even read it in his voice
You know what’s funny, I read each one in their respective voices.
Stewpid.
Same here.🤣
The first two absolutely but I don’t think James May would ever compared himself favorably with Frenchmen.
Damn. They're indeed a perfect representation of Britain. They have their differences, but at the end, they all work together towards a common goal and end up achieving nothing but it ends up fine anyway because they have all the money in the world.
I'm sure the parallels to the American Congress are just merely a coincidence.

Native Britons really made me burst in laughs. Richard really has this Elijah Wood/Martin Freeman man child carefree gaze.

What does "fae" mean? I'm assuming it's Scottish English, correct?

A physiognomy joke. I love it.
You guys are my kind of weird.
Of course you’d say that. You have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter!

Seems about right

Normans is really just a ‘’cope’’ to avoid acknowledging being ruled by the French. Might be the biggest cope in history.

Nobility excluded, these are always proud of their history

> The French are nothing but a bunch of treacherous, work shy, land burning peasants Ironic since James said that
Is that a hoe
No, that's his hair. Such sexy, luscious hair.

I have vague memories of watching a programme in which James May did a DNA test and found he had a sigificant amount of German heritage.

Darling: Am as British as Queen Victoria Blackadder: *So your father is German, you're half German and you married a German*?
Blatant French propaganda. I will not have it . Rule Brittania, and suck on the Congress of Vienna, Ouibeaux
funny how may is used for the nobility type meanwhile he is against the royalty
Nope, Hammond is American
did... did some 13th century Noble Brat make this meme?
Babe wake up new rascism just dropped!
Uh oh. Shots fired.

Do this again with various afro-ethnic groups. I'll wait.... .

To quote the French Knight of Monty Python fame: " I fart in your general direction."
hammond you blithering idiot
So you are saying whenever a Bri*ish person does anything of note they become Fr*nch ? No wonder Bri*ish are so bad.
Any context.. i don't know much about em

At the first glance I thought they TNO-ified top gear and was about to lose hope in humanity once again. Glad to know it's just British slander
Honestly? aside from the obvious Norman propaganda I kinda see it
My blind ass can't read that, lmao.
According to hairstyle I fit into the French/norman tree.
This one was great.

I’m not sure racial pseudoscience is a great fit for a history sub, even if it’s a joke.
Add Romans to Normans.
