Most Dutch people could pass anywhere in Britain. They Look just like average Brits. The Dutch are also most closely related to the British (they cluster with them most) and they have about as much Haplogroup R1b as the East of Britain does.
Celtics also once covered the whole of Netherlands as they did England once. Modern day Dutch are a mix between Celts & Germanics, which probably why the Dutch aren't as fair as say Scandinavians.
The first inhabitants of the Netherlands (all parts of the Netherlands) were Celts. For example : the Menapii were one of those tribes.
The Germanic tribes invaded the Netherlands 300 years before Christ. These Germanic tribes were the Frisians, the Saxons and the Franks. The Frisians settled in the north of the Netherlands and mixed with the native celtic population of North-Netherlands. The Saxons settled in the east of the Netherlands and mixed with the native celtic population there. The Franks settled in the southern area of the Netherlands after they beat the Romans out and they mixed with the native celtic population of the south of the Netherlands.
The Germanic tribes didnt originate in the Netherlands. They came from Scandinavia and Northern-Germany. So yes, the Dutch are as much celtic as the English are. Even though culturaly both the Dutch & English are Germanic, ethnicaly they're mixed.
