I don’t speak the tongue of the Germanic savages though I did read Tacitus’ writings on them. Sorry can’t understand you.

It’s good to proud of one’s heritage but you might want resist the urge the throw ‘savages’ accusation about.
@athousandyoung said===no connection to the Jewish religion either===
I don’t know what being reinfeld has to do with anything.
I’m a pure blooded white Hispanic Californio Criollo, Roman Catholic by family tradition, Raza Castellano i.e. Castilian Latin race, with some Irish, Anglo-Mormon and maybe a bit of French in me.
No non white blood in me including Jewish and no connection to the Jewish religion either.

Didn't you teach at a yeshiva high school?
That makes you at least an honorary Shabbos Goy.

@athousandyoung saidTo be fair Tacitus was quite a while ago and hardly impartial as a Roman historian, they often exaggerated the fierceness and savagery of those they conquered to big up the conquest.

I’d hate to find out what he thought of the Brits.

Who were the original inhabitants of Britain, whether they were indigenous or foreign, is, as usual among barbarians, little known. Their physical characteristics are various and from these conclusions may be drawn. The red hair and large limbs of the inhabitants of Caledonia [Picts] point clearly to a German origin. The dark complexion of the Silures [southwest Britons] their usually curly hair, and the fact that Spain is the opposite shore to them, are an evidence that Iberians of a former date crossed over and occupied these parts. Those who are nearest to the Gauls [southeast Britons] are also like them, either from the permanent influence of original descent, or, because in countries which run out so far to meet each other, climate has produced similar physical qualities. But a general survey inclines me to believe that the Gauls established themselves in an island so near to them. Their religious belief may be traced in the strongly-marked British superstition. The language differs but little; there is the same boldness in challenging danger, and, when it is near, the same timidity in shrinking from it. The Britons, however, exhibit more spirit, as being a people whom a long peace has not yet enervated. Indeed we have understood that even the Gauls were once renowned in war; but, after a while, sloth following on ease crept over them, and they lost their courage along with their freedom. This too has happened to the long-conquered tribes of Britain; the rest are still what the Gauls once were.
