It may be an island but the influx of visitors 
(Romans, Vikings, French, refugees, West Indians, 
Indians, Africans, etc. etc. has kept Brits very diverse.

As an example, my mother was Belgian, her father 
French, her mother Dutch my father's mother half 
Italian, which makes me more European than English.

As for my children-in-law, they include, Spanish, 
Italian, Russian and Chinese.

I should think that Smallville USA has more danger 
of inbreeding than Metropolitan UK.  8-)
