It's not my opinion, I don't consider them foreign to the Breton identity, on the contrary, I think they are as Bretons as Western ones.
In regard to Gallos and what you said, what I mean is that you don't have to speak Breton to be and feel Breton if you accept the Romance influence in Upper Brittany.
On the other hand, if you (be it Bretonnant or Gallo) identify Brittany with a certain language, a certain culture and so forth, then there is a problem. Perhaps a core problem of your cause?

We should better talk about "Upper Brittany" or "Roman Brittany" in this case : after all, "Gallo" only means "French" or "Frenchified/Gallicized" in Breton.
