Good luck figuring that out. Apparently people of color are more likely to 
identify as British that the whites who break it down to English, Scotch, 
and so forth.

Even better the original Celtic Britons were displaced by the Germanic 
peoples and probably are called Welsh today, except for the ones that went 
back across the Channel to Brittany (Bretagne) in France. Brittany has had 
a sometimes fraught relationship with the rest of France.

Technically Great Britain does not include Northern Ireland. That would be 
the United Kingdom but the terms get thrown around loosely. Brexit brought 
that distinction to the front since the Republic of Ireland is in the EU. 
The last thing anybody wanted to do was stir that pot but so it goes.
