It has nothing to do with multiple large ethnic groups that tend to cause tension in the long run, see Israel and Donbas for example.

Another quote:
Your Roman-Saxon-Danish-Norman English.
The great invading Norman let us know

He gave the lands which never were his own.
When first the English crown he did obtain,
He did not send his Dutchmen home again.
