Firstly that is actually not very accurate secondly England was part of the Roman empire 2000 years ago, therefore it doesn't have a unique heritage. You have to actually look at what makes up their heritage.

Also relevant is how these undefined Cornish people of today have established that their individual bloodlines can be traced back to that part of Dumnonia now known as Cornwall?
You might find it useful to clarify in your mind the differences between 'race', 'ethnicity' and 'nationality'. As a Devonian born in Isca Dumnoniorum, I do not regard the indigenous population of Cornwall generally as being of a different race. Neither do I regard them as having a different ethnicity when account is taken of the centuries Cornwall has been part of England. Finally, for very similar reasons, I do not regard them as having another nationality.

We are not talking about race but heritage. Most British people from north Scotland to East Anglia are genetically the same ethnicity, it doesn't matter.

I conclude from your response that you are unable to refute the information I have adduced. [Incidentally, I use the word 'refute' in its proper sense of 'disprove' NOT 'deny'.]
