The origins of the British class system are old, very old. It can be traced back to the arrival of the Celts. The Celts were a conglomeration of "Aryan" steppe tribes who conquered areas of Western Europe from swarthy farmer people of middle eastern origin. They did not genocide the people they conquered or even disrupt their way of life much, they simply migrated over and became the ruling elite. The subsequent more impactful Germanic invasions of Britain brought more steppe genetics whitening the country further as Germanic settler farmers were mixing with Brythonic farmers. However In the towns and cities and among the ruling class, land owners etc the steepe elements were higher on average.Fast forward to 18th and 19th centuries and the acts of enclosure. The acts of enclosure were meant to increase agricultural output. I won't get into the details here but all you need to know is that it forced large amounts of the peasanty into the towns and cities. These now urbanized peasants were dirt poor, lived in terrible conditions and had no choice but to work in terrible factories and mines during the industrial revolution. To compliment this there was a huge amount of Irish peasant migration into British cities also. All of this lead to the creation of the British working class we know today. This is why Britain is such a classist society. The middle and upper class have more steppe ancestry on average and are consequently more white.
>>524342324Are you saying the "original" Britons were these same generic swarthy Middle Easterners? Ultimately displaced by actual White people? I always thought that was propaganda. It's hard to trust genetic data at times when politics gets involved.
