Anti-China writers are not Anglo-Saxons

[Tiqiu]

It maybe a bit superficial, however here in Australia people of the same background like me regard all English-speaking white people as 'Anglo-Saxon'. I have been to the old part of European countries a couple of times, without any disrespect, I found English speaking people more straightforward and friendly. I think Australia is generally regarded as 'Anglo-Saxon' country even 28% population were overseas born, not to mention those born locally from ethnic families.

To be honest, Anglo-Saxon culture has produced lots of great things to the world. Part of its success could be attributed to the critical thinking, a culture trait or skill permeates in every school or everywhere in people's life. What annoyed us most is that people like those "3 musketeers" are writing garbage relentlessly and fancying of people giving in.Those books are just an insult to our IQ and patience. I am not trying to say that China is perfect,and quite aware of the problems and challenges faced by China.

The Protestant work ethic you are referring to? That's usually in reference to Anglo Saxon and Northern European (sans catholic).

Hmm...no...I was thinking more along the lines of working for somebody else as a tiny cog in a big machine instead of the "loner who lives off the land and doesn't need any help from anybody". They'd have a better argument for a Protestant work ethic. I'm sure they'd call 9-5ers "lazy".

Care to comment on what you think is supposedly the "Anglo-Saxon" culture that everybody is supposedly following.
I can't get a one bit out of our German colleague. Maybe we can ping some of the French members.

I have no idea. Anglo-saxon is an old phrase used to describe some English people. It just isn't used in common speech in the US, or as part of debates, etc. Maybe more common in Europe, I don't know.

There is talk of "white" or "caucasian" culture, but even those are pretty wobbly about who is and is not white. Hispanic people sometimes are white, and sometimes aren't (depending on the person doing the categorizing, not usually on an actual time). No one in the US would draw a meaningful distinction between German-descended and English-descended people, other than geneology fanatics.

The only groups I would consider distinct are black people (definite cultural shift and sense of identity) and a few immigrants - particularly those who aren't fluent in English. Everyone else is just a shrug, who cares.

EDIT: part of the problem is that there is a huge amount of mixing, particularly with the white population. I am, myself, about 3/4 German-descended, and 1/4 English, but I doubt either of those sets of ancestors are "pure" (whatever that means). And, like most Americans, I really don't care, and I don't think it matters in the slightest way. Knowing would be interesting trivia, and nothing more.

I think the OP don't know what exactly "Anglo-Saxons" means, he is very obivious has been using the word to replace "White" or "Caucasian"

I strongly suspected OP does not knows Anglo-Saxons means the Germanic-Nomadic tribe of White people, so by Anglo-Saxons culture, he meant white cultures

I was thinking the same thing. I mean Anglo-Saxons , by nature, are Germanic. English is also a branch of Germanic language.

Definitely not. Only 4% of the Irish population own guns...30% of Germans do.
Number of guns per capita by country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Still not sure what you mean by Anglo-Saxon culture...you mean cramped working 9-5 city life?

America is an anglophone country and surely you can't deny that Anglo Saxon people have made the largest impact on the u.s
And actually the Irish probably have more. Weapon laws in Germany are strict... One of the reasons I'm here.
Although there are a large amount of unregistered guns.
That said its just my guess. So not much to back it up :p

Besides you as an ethnic German can easily assimilate in the American society. Germans are probably the poster child of White European beauty, yes?

Siri Tollerod anyone? Her eyes.

Hahaha, what i meant is, Germanic beauty. Nordic is part of the Germanic branch family, my Norwegian sweetheart...

Germans and Italians as I like to say are the people of god :p

Probably.

Time to get the real Anglo-Saxon and the Normand into this. (the Viking can comment too )

Hey @mike2000 is back and @Vauban do you mind commenting on what you define as "Anglo-Saxon" culture (and for that matter what is non-Anglo-Saxon culture) and if you think it has monopolized the US (or the US is mainly influenced by a mishmash of Euro-cultures).

Other than the US speaking English (vs British ).

 

[jhungary]

Siri Tollerod anyone? Her eyes.

To be honest, I have always maintained of all the white race, Israeli Caucasian are the best (That is when My wife is not around)

Good look, toned skin, and usually big "you know where", you cannot beat Israeli when it come down to looks. Nordic is a bit pale to my liking, and most Germanic women (Alpine race) are not quite refined.

Mike would probably think calling all white people anglo-saxons are an insult...

By the way, according to Madison Grant, an eugenisist, Anglo-Saxons are Nordic Origin...

lol

Interesting. "Anglo-saxons" were the Germanic tribes that inhabited (Or literally invaded ?) GB some centuries ago.
Now the "Anglo saxon" refers mainly to someone having links to the English language,culture and civilization.
(I might be wrong?)
-
(In France at least)
When we talk about "Anglo-saxon" countries,it is mainly to designate the US and the UK.
-
As for labeling all whites as "Anglo-saxon"...... not really sure about that.

(@mike2000 is back would definitely push for this idea )

In JAPAN, when we think of German people, we have an automatic correlation with perfect caucasoid features. Or at least the 'ideal' beauty for White Caucasians. German is associated with blonde hair, blue eyes, prominent physique, handsome appearance. I know, a bit direct of a generalization, right? lol.
