before anyone pulls me up, the 2 'y' in syrian was a typo

It's common knowledge they came for the Welfare Benefits

Personally I came from the Anglo Saxons and have a name to prove it.

I thought we were all Kenyans or Ethiopians originally.

[Ankou]

so many of the wasps are actually

white anglo saxon protestant iraqi syrians.

i always liked to think i was a bit viking, a bit danish, a bit roman with a dash of innuit.

Im quite liking the fact that I now have a middle eastern surname, my great great great great grandaddy would have been soooo proud :D

[Ankou]

pdust, seems to me that your great great great great grandaddy was too busy being seduced by the local hunter gatherer temptresses to remember his own name.

It's obvious. All the good looking, intelligent and taented people came here.

[Zeuhl]

Talented rather than tainted ... but who knows

[venator]

Not sure that a sample of 2000 men is big enough, and would like to know how random it was.

Brits have Celt and Pict blood, Angles, Saxons, Scandanavian Viking, Roman, French, Irish, Anglo Indian, and what have you.

Tracking that lot back to Mesopotamia or wherever, I wouldn't be too dogmatic about my findings!

[ludwig]

I think ultimately we're all Africans.

[pdust]
