@ Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Vikings, Normans, Germanics etc were mainly all genetically Danish Danes, Scandinavian, North Western Europeans like the Britons, our distant cousins, closely related to us.
They were not African, Asian, Middle Eastern or Arabs from foreign continents!

''The Normans of England first invaded Ireland in 1169, which led Friedrich Engels to observe in a letter (1856) to Karl Marx that “Ireland may be regarded as the first English colony”.
The Irish were even in the British army and navy and helped the British colonize the world, they were in the British army in India too and were also plantation overseers in the Caribbean, like Bob Marley's father.
It has been estimated that during the North American conflict, from the British Army 16% of the rank and file and 31% of the COs were Irishmen. There were Irishmen fighting on both sides; a standout story from the diary of Sergeant Roger Lamb recalls how Patrick Maguire of the 9th Regiment of Foot spotted his own brother fighting on the side of the American Patriots during the Saratoga campaign. In following years, the Irish would swell the ranks to the extent that by 1813 the British Army's total manpower was "1/2 English, 1/6 Scottish and 1/3 Irish."
Despite the large number of deaths in the United Irish conflict, Irishmen; Catholic and Protestant; flocked to join the British Army and the Royal Navy with the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte in Europe.
'I am full willing to leave my manson and to go into the interiors of Africa to fight vountarilly for Queen Victoria and as far as there is life in my bones and breath in my body, I will not let any foreign invasion tramp on Queen's land. However, if her or her leaders ever turns with cruelty on the Irish race, I will be the first to raise my sword to fight against her. I will have plenty of Irishmen at my side, for they are known to be the bravest race in the world.'
— Michael McDonough, a teenager enlisting in the Connaught Rangers, 1898.
'Ireland did not leave the British Empire in 1916, but in 1921 after a negotiated settlement with Britain.' - source Irish Central 1/2/23.
Both Canada and Ireland were in the British Empire until their independence.
The British Empire ended after WWII in 1947.
Clear enough?
