How do they feel about being called Anglo Saxons?
The same way I feel about LatinX calling themselves Latinos.
It is too esoteric for normalfags and it makes cosmopolitan leftists fume, but also keep in mind that is also an old and contrived Americanism to identify as part of the British nation without implying Loyalist sympathies. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain itself, there is no reason not to just say British or English.The French here like to use it as an innuendo to refer to boomer conspiracies about Ottawa, London and Washington holding down them good Montreal boys who dindu nuffin.
>>220313277Anglo-Saxon art was kino
Feels weird seeing Dugin and third worldists like him blame every world problem on ‘Anglo-Saxon’s’
>>220313277I don't think they even know the term.I remember when Putin blamed that pipeline explosion on the Anglo Saxons and all of them laughed at the term, making memes such as pic rel. They don't know this is how most of the Western world refers to the Anglosphere and if they do they think it's like >>220318136 which it isn't.
>>220313277The last common usage in modern vernacular was "WASP", and now I doubt people can even define it.
>>220313277Americans aren't Anglos and they haven't been for a long time. It makes me cringe whenever they're lumped in with us.
>>220313277Anglo Saxons aren't even in control of the U.S gov anymore, Trump is German immigrant, Biden is Irish, Chuck Schumer is Jewish. Real Anglo saxons are very rare and they hole up in little enclaves
>>220318686Genuinely never understood why you reject them this much. You're very similar, I mean they literally come from England. Most people barely make the difference between you two, we see you all as the Anglo Saxons
>>220318819Most Americans aren't anglo saxons though. They're a minority within white people. The german and italian and swedish descendants outnumber them
>>220319043The only European ancestry here which MIGHT be more common than English is German.
>>220313277We're so niggerified and padriggerified that it would be an ethnographic crime to draw any kind of parallel between the a German tribe and the 'people' inhabiting this island. They have nothing in common with the likes of Isaac Newton.
>>220318819Because they're not Anglos. I don't reject Aussies, Kiwis, etc because there has been much less mixing and the majority are still of old stock. The same cannot be said for the average American who is so mixed they can be just as attributed to us as Germans or Italians or even Mexicans.
>>220319480Iirc correctly German and English are pretty close then 3rd is Irish
>>220318061I have exactly the same kind of art in my local XI century church, nothing special about it
>>220319982Just answered your own point, retard
>>220318623Anglo-Saxon feels anachronistic. To me, it refers to a specific historical group that contributed to creating the modern Anglo, the others being the ancient Britons, the Normans, and some French additions like the Huguenots.>>220318686>>220319043>>220319480>>220319882>>220319903The majority of white Americans are NW Europeans that adhere to an Anglo culture (their law, religion, language, customs etc. are borrowed and derivative of Britain). I think of America as the least Anglo Anglosphere country, mainly because there are a lot more nonwhites and more mixture with non-NW groups. But white Americans are still by and large Anglo. No, the guy with an anglicized surname and is half-west German and half-English is still an Anglo. The genetic overlap is so strong between these groups that culture is more important than exact ancestry for determining the current ethnic affiliation.
>>220320335Also, I want to point out that the Irish is probably highly exaggerated, and many self-reporting it are probably Scots Irish rather than Gaelic Irish.
>>220320335>Anglo-Saxon feels anachronistic. To me, it refers to a specific historical group that contributed to creating the modern AngloIt sounds anachronistic in your language, but it sounds more natural than just 'anglo' in other languages.
>>220313277I feel like most of them don't know that the term "Anglo Saxon" is a LARP by US elites and that Anglo Saxons as an ethnic group were never a real thing in the UK
>Anglo Saxons as an ethnic group were never a real thing in the UK
>>220313277mogged
>>220321002Otro día más agradecido por haber sido colonizado por España y no el puto reino unido o (Dios nos ampare) los fr*nceses.
>>220321002they are all third world shitholes while anglosphere countries are some of the best in the world thoughbeit
>>220321002Mogged in what, finding your neighbor’s wife chainsawed on their doorsteps?
>>220320408Scotts Irish are actually a minority in the US, the famine brought a lot of actual Irish over in the 1800's and then the massive need for industrial laborers in the later part of the 19th century
>>220321299Not really with how most of your countries are close to becoming dystopian nanny states. Some of the countries in our region might not fare so badly in the long term.
>>220318623You guys seem to use it to mean Englishspeaking countries, whereas the rare times it is used here is for the ethnic group specifically. However, it is modified as Anglo-Celtic (has been for 200 years). Because there isn't a suitable ethnic term since we're scattered and possible terms have been muddled by notions of nationality and citizenship, so this is the most globally applicable term.
>>220313277No one says that except for Vladimir Putin so normies would just think you're some ESL weirdo
>>220313325You're retarded and raped all of that because you don't understand it. Latino doesn't mean they larp as Romans. It's a shortening for Latinoamericano, i.e. Romance speaking Americans, including Brazilians (who seethe about this) and French Speakers like Haitians and Quebecoirds.
ANGLO COCKSUCKING CANZUK BITCH
>>220324013Also there might be somewhat of a disconnect between the U.S and the rest of us. Although I would count us the same ethnicity, by all metrics it's undeniable, it is true that by blood they're not quite as British, and might not recognise the ethnic group in the same way as the rest of us. It's also worth noting that the Englishspeaking world is really only concerned with itself, because language barriers, so the distinction relevant when considering the world as a whole is irrelevant when considering distinctions within Englishspeakers. This is why Anglo-Saxon/Celtic is not usually used for global kinship but to distinguish the original stock from newcomers in a country.>>220320717It's not. Originally, Anglo-Saxon was just Latin for 'English'. Angle comes from English. Both appear historically and neither fell out of use. In modern times, Anglo-Saxon was used to refer to the ethnicity independent of nationality, as English would be confusing (and distasteful for Americans). And it was used by everyone for this purpose.
>>220324191>and neither fell out of useThe reason Anglo-Saxon would absolutely be known is because that is the word in Latin, and anyone who knew Latin (all educated people until recently) or used Latin words, which is obviously very normal in Modern English, would know it.'English' was first attested in the 5th century. 'Anglo-Saxon' the compound in the 8th. Its component parts 'Saxon' in the 2nd (though referring to the continental ancestors), 'Angle' in the 1st. The compound seems specifically to have arisen for writers to distinguish them from continental Saxons. What's interesting is the broad term was already settled as 'English' to include several apparently different peoples, the dominant one not being the Angles but the Saxons.
>>220321763The Scots Irish were a solid chunk of immigrants before 1800, especially in the south. The number is also inflated because many people here aren’t related to either group but will claim being Irish.
they are too sunburnt to feel
