Proud!!!
In response to becoming a minority: The English have always been an ethnic minority; after the Germans conquered the Welsh they in turn were half conquered by the Danes who then left it to their cousins the Viking Normans who left the throne to the Angevin empire ruled by the French Plantagenet family keeping it until the Welsh Tudors took over before being replaced by the Scottish Stewarts, who were succeeded by the Dutch family of Orange, followed by the Hanovers, the German family who rule over Britain today! Considering that Britain has never had an English ruling family an argument about foreigners is a bit debatable to say the least! Until the early twentieth century we all spoke Welsh in the valleys, then German, sorry English became gradually more & more introduced. Today hardly anyone speaks Welsh we all speak German, sorry English, and we consider it our own language which is blatantly illogical. Imagine if another similar culture such as Roumanian or Hungarian would be assimilated in the same way say in 50 years or so would we be going to a match in Cardiff not understanding a word of the national anthem; whoops, I forgot, we don't today do we? What's to be proud of, tell me what we are defending when we are letting go an ancient Welsh heritage to protect what?
