I always laugh when I see people slating him for the Ireland card. I don't think half the forum knew who he was before it was common knowledge that is a training partner of Conor.
Always thought he was from Ireland.
well, it's only one letter away.
Icelandics and Irish are both Nordic.
I saw plenty of people calling Nelson the best welterweight prospect before Conor's rise to fame.
However the indigenous irish (or the first peoples who settle ireland) were not Celts but migrants from the Basque area. In fact there were little or zero Celts ever settled in ireland. It's just bullshit that they tried to give the Irish a sense of identity in the 19th century.
language is considered "latin" or "romance" and they're not Roman/Italian.
LMAO.
Why so angry dude?
Judging by some hypothetical ancient genetics isn't really a way to guess who one is.
People were forming their ethnicity based on common culture, way of life, and in most cases, language.
They are, in a way, Roman - they were people who under Roman rule, adopted Roman way of life, including Vulgar Latin that later became Spanish languages.
What later became Spanish culture stems from Roman law, tradition, customs, Roman Christianity etc.
no he is not. he is from iceland
They may have lived under the Roman Empire but so did England (for about 400 years. In fact so did half the known world. Like little or no Celts settled in Ireland, I would say little or no Italians settled in Spain under the Roman Empire.
They're still Spanish.
