Yes, but they are not referred to as Europeans. They are from the region geographically and raised in the same ethnicity but are not considered Europeans. That was my point. I have heard the phrase Afro German used by black people in Germany discussing issues surrounding ethnicity. That’s why I brought that up. I’m happy to know that from your personal experience they are “never” referred to that way. That’s still an anecdote but I’ll take it into consideration.

My understanding is that ethnically Anglo Saxons were Germanic peoples. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, Teutons etc were Germanic tribes.

So thus this is called conquering is it not ?

According to this work — written in Latin — the Celts first appealed to the Romans but the help forthcoming was slight and so they turned to the Germanic tribes of the North Sea coast. The date which Bede gives for the first arrivals is 449. This can be assumed to be fairly correct. The invaders consisted of members of various Germanic tribes, chiefly Angles from the historical area of Angeln in north east Schleswig Holstein. It was this tribe which gave England its name, i.e. Englaland, the land of the Angles (Engle, a mutated form from earlier *Angli, note that the superscript asterisk denotes a reconstructed form, i.e. one that is not attested).

The Roman Empire still controlled those lands and it was in fact one of the final nails in the coffin of the Western Roman Empire.

Have you ever heard of Hengist and Horsa?

You’re so right though all the scholarly accolades should go to you on this one! I love anecdotes!
