Anglo-Saxons mixing up sex with gender, as always :(  :frog:  :lol:

The Normans tried to show us the light but ultimately failed :weep:

Cas sujet and cas régime, the two-case system of medieval Langue d'oïl was maybe a bit too much.  :hmm:

Wait does this mean all Americans are Anglo-Saxons even if they are ethnically Japanese or something? Woah.

Yes, you're all the same to us. Makes it easier to apply stereotypes.

I'm confused. Why would you drill down to Anglo-Saxons which is clearly a mistaken way of describing Cal's ancestry?

He is not an American?

:huh:

I do have Anglo-Saxon ancestry but it's a definite minority contribution.  I'm mostly of German heritage, and more of what's not German is Scottish, Scots-Irish, and Welsh.

Either I'm missing something here (entirely possible) or applying 'Anglo-Saxon' as an umbrella term to the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia etc is just a Dutch thing.

It used to be ok in the US, but then the ethnics got all uppity.  :P

Someone should tell the Republicans everyone who makes it to US soil is an Anglo-Saxon.  It might ease tensions around the immigration issue.

That went out of style about 30 plus years ago when it became apparent the descriptor Anglo-Saxon didn't cover large portions of the population.

I believe there are actually more Americans of German descent than English/Anglo-Saxon descent. :cool:
