What will the long-term effect of race-mixing be on the British bloodline?

Question

I know this might be an uncomfortable topic for some, but after seeing the figures, I was just wondering what you think.

I'm not against it, by the way.

As of 2005, 800,000 out of 62 million people in the UK are of mixed race.

What will the long-term effects of this be? I mean, currently, Britons are a mix of Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Jutes, Romans, Celts and Normans; will the African/Asian element of today's mixing grow as big as those proportions?

Peace.

Answer 1

As you rightly point out, they are already a mixture of all those that came to conquer and live on the British Isles, as are most of Europe a mixture. In a few generations the racial mixture will not seem so important. The cultural aspects will continue to have an impact, however. I have noticed that the eating habits have changed. Indian food is now extremely popular. When I was there last, I believe the national dish was Tikka Masala.

Answer 2

africans had been in britain since the roman times they served in the roman army the roman army also had syrian archers

Answer 3

Actually, genetically the VAST majority of white Britons, including the English, are firstly descended from post ice age people closely akin to the Basques of Spain and secondly from neolithic farmers who seem to have come in 2 groups-- 1 that originated in the middle east then travelled slowly across Europe & the other coming from Northern Europe.

  All other aftercomers left relatively small imprints on the genepool. there was no huge invasion of celts from Europe in 500BC (the bronze age people were very probably already celtic speaking) and the Anglo-Saxon 'wipeout' theory is now on very shaky ground indeed. The vikings seemed to make a bigger dent in the genetics, particularly in the Scottish isles such as Orkney & in parts of Northern England, but the scientists can't find anything equating to 'Roman', probably for the simple reason  that the Roman soldiers weren't Italians from italy but conscripts from all over Europe. The Romans' prime objective wasn't settlement of new people anyway; it was to expand the wealth & power of their Empire. When we speak of Romano-british, we are not talking about people of 'foreign' origins but British people living in a Romanised manner.

     The dna sequence found in black people showed up once apparently in a white Yorkshire family. In this case it would seem to have entered the gene pool in the 1700's, so  probably was from a slave.

i would imagine in the future, various new DNA strands/variations will show up in the British people due to settlement/intermarriage-but also suspect that if the dna of the original settlers is still so prevalent today, it will probably remain so.

Answer 4

At the moment it won't make a lot of difference, as a lot of our immgrants are white Europeans.

We're total bitzers anyway.

Answer 5

Probably better health (and i'm not only talking about dentistry)

Answer 6

There will be very little difference.

I'm not sure if the African Asian element will change that much. We are currently experiencing large immigration from other European countries whose genetic makeup is similar to our own.

Isn't it good to be a complete hotch potch of genetics?

Answer 7

There will be more coffee coloured people and less white people.

Answer 8

800,000 out of 62 million = 1.29%.

Answer 9

Race is a myth, with no real meaning.

So there's no reason to care about such things.
