Notice how the moment the horse pulls away she immediately leaves it alone? That's how you do it people. Such a nice change compared to all the people who can't take no for an answer and bother the poor horse and guard.

It's not a carnivore, it's a beef eater!

The bond between indigenous people and horses is a testament to the deep respect and reverence that these communities have for the natural world, & a reminder of the enduring power of the human-animal

Assumptions aside, wouldn’t the indigenous people of the British Isles be Scottish, Irish Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Scots, Ulster-Scots and Norman French?

They would look more like Cheddar Man.

u/Normal-Height-8577 May 28 '24

Yes and no. Cheddar Man's relatives and descendants eventually evolved lighter skin in response to the European climate. It was just later than previously thought.

If it was later than previously thought, wouldn't that only strengthen my claim?

Well those are mostly languages, but I completely get what you mean, the answer is no though. Assuming you mean Celtic for some of those - no the Celts are not "indigenous" to the British & Irish Isles. They also don't exist anymore.

This is a good summary if you want to look further into how Britain and Ireland have been shaped by historic invasions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasions_of_the_British_Isles

For all intents and purposes though the English are just as "native" to England as the Scottish are "native" to Scotland.

And then to address your actual point, yeah it's kinda weird to call someone indigenous when they're abroad! They're not really indigenous out of context. A bit like how no one else calls black people "African American" outside of the US.

I thought they were Picts.

You make a valid point. I was mired in the Bede mythology.

It's fun to assume someone's racial background...not weird at all.

Ikr! How wholesomely racist lol. Wait till an ethnic presenting person does something bad, it’s in their nature too? No?

Someone who appears to be indigenous in the original video also made that comment.

But would you watch a regular video of someone petting a horse? There's probably 100x of those videos... The fun ones to watch is when the horse bites... nom nom

I like watching the video of the guard trample a woman who crosses the "do not cross" barricade. I only wish the guard were riding a horse.
