However, their lineage is European, the same as yours.
Wrong! If you're going to start down that road then their lineage is ultimately African, the same as all of us.
Just for the record, like Ivor, I am not European either. Personally, I consider myself to be English.
I also also consider myself English, but I'm still British and European.
So you're three things at once? How clever of you.
Personally I have no axe to grind either way, but as a gentleman I would do as Ivor asks.

That's your choice. He chose to make a big thing about "not being a European" and some are interested in why that's the case when, according to the evidence to hand, he is..

You consider it clever that someone is English, British and European all at once? Your naive incredulity at this very normal thing is a treat to watch.

You will accept someone telling you something that clearly isn't true?
