Anglo-Saxons are the one ethnic group in all the world who are not allowed to celebrate their ethnicity--not only in America, but anywhere else. Even in England itself the Irish, Scots, and Welsh are celebrated but not the English. Like everywhere else on the globe the English are the "abstract host population" of the United Kingdom and are expected to celebrate all the Celtic identities while merely being abstractions themselves.

Then, of course, some on the Right in America worship the Celts and have made Celtic identity and hostility to the "base, brutal, and bloody Saxon" the cornerstone of their claims to nationhood (the neo-Confederates, for example).

I beg yer pardon.

I am a staunch southern non apologist who proudly claims Saxon heritage just as much as the poetic lore....Wessex to be exact

Neo Confederate is a pejorative term invented by PC folks who See everything though something minority

Like the word misogynist or bigot

No southerner i know uses such talk....we just consider ourselves like a last stand in modern America's nosedive.....holding onto a cohesive regional commonality

Like Scots or Bavarians or Flemish
