Today most white people are descends of that guy, but go back to 1732 when George Washington was born and you’re looking at a much tighter family tree.

It's true, but knowing that Washington's great grandparents were English certainly cuts that down a fair bit.
Washington probably thought of himself as English, for that matter.
England already had 8 million people at the time, so were are still talking class within England not just anyone from England.
