      That seems extremely low for Ireland, swear about 250,000 of the population were born in the UK

      Argentina should be coloured in. And if you are including people with 5-10% ancestry then the entire Caribbean should be coloured as well

      And in 100 years, the Australia and New Zealand flags will still have the Union Jack on them.

      those earliest to area that would be united states were british and irish tho later was french and dutch and german and further but they assimilated to be how they are today so that history has been obscured

      4% is the kind of percentage I’d expect for… Argentina maybe? Doesn’t sound right to me for South Africa. How?

      The US should be higher but we have a big problem with underreporting our own British ancestry.

      This map is uninterpretable

      It’s including Northern Ireland in red, which is decidedly NOT British (even though it is part of the UK, it is not included in great Britain). And if it’s descended from „British people“ does that mean all countries in great Britain, including Scottish and Welsh ancestry?

      Why are the Falklands not in red, how is their ancestry any more or less British than northern Ireland?

      And what does „descended from“ mean, is it any small percentage as reported by things like 23andMe/ancestry.com, or is this what people primarily identify as when asked in a survey?

      This is not map porn. I have never been *less* hard

      Yet UK is declining becoming more re*arded while Australia, NZ improving their quality of life being of the same descent.

      What about the United Kingdom’s own self (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and even the Isle of Man 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇲)?

      This map conflates being white with having British ancestry. Virtually all West Indians have some percentage of British ancestry.

      What do you mean by „percentage“. Many Americans are mutts…

      I am 1/2 Italian (2nd generation), 1/4 Scottish (2nd generation), and 1/4 Pennsylvania Dutch (1700’s Rhine Valley emigrants from German States or The Netherlands).

      So, how is British heritage counted? Am I counted as 1/4 of a British descendant, or does any percentage descended from Britain count as one of the population?

      theres this idea that britain formed jamestown and they had endless kids who spread out to fill whats called united states today but thats not how it went, and there was actually cities formed everywhere where united states is even before jamestown
