What are your credentials for making this kind of determination? Are you a scholar?
Why are you definitely not “silly”, while Falklanders are?
Tell us about your clear identity.
How long have you lived where you live?
Are your grandparents and great-grandparents from the same place you are?
What makes you and your people unique, with a “clear” identity?
The Falklanders live out in the south Atlantic Ocean.
I am thinking that living in that kind of a climate, and in that kind of isolated area makes for a very unique, clear identity.
But please, tell us more about why your people have a much more “clear” identity than the Falkland Islanders?
