Any dark british celebrities are falsely accused of having part foregin ancestry (italian, spanish lebanese etc).
Most Internet Rumours about dark british celebrities having foregin blood, get invented on here and then spread.
some of you want to clearly spread these views into the general public.
tough, its too late.
the anthropoligists clearly disagree with a lot of you.
indigenous, welsh speaking, welsh people
so does it not seem to hard to believe that british celebrities with dark hair and dark eyes, might actually be 100% british, given the clear mediterranean regions in the british isles and the fact that so many of the people in the above photo have dark hair and dark eyes>

Well, anthropologically speaking I wouldnt call them Mediterranean, but sure, some Welsh people are dark. But I see English people that are dark, too.
I dont know if you mean "Mediterranid" or just "Mediterranean" as in "dark pigmentation", but as far as I know, Irish are one of the most Cromagnoid people. Whatever the case, there are some dark hair and eye genes scattered all over Europe, and even some Scandinavians have what you call "Mediterranean looks".
I believe a lot of English anthropologists have used biased approaches to map the "European races", and use "Mediterranean looks" to stigmatize i.e. the Irish, but the reality is that most Irish people are very light-looking. The reality is pretty much the opposite of what you are saying. A lot of English nordicists believe pigmentation is bad, not good, and those English anthropologists that you are using to back up your claims, claim that the Irish are darker than the English, to stigmatize them.
I doubt any people "envy" the Britons for having dark looks, especially because, most Britons
dont have dark looks (if by Britons we are referring only to the Irish and Scottish and Welsh). You should see
this thread. Also, see the Irish movie
The closer you get.
But yes, those that have dark looks are indigenous, but probably not as many as you would have it.
