It makes sense.


Oh wait....anglo-americans make more money, hold most jobs, statistically commit most hate crimes against non-whites, primarily 'african americans', commit most employment discrimination, most social discrimination (against ALL other nonwhites, even some hispanics who are genetically mostly white, and jewish people who are white in everything but religion)...


Gee, you 'Anglo Americans' have it sooooooo bad in America! Lol!
African Americans may ask, that, but I just wish they would stop calling black Americans..African Americans.

actually anglo-american would be a good term. i hope it becomes national consensus just as african-american, hispanic-american, indian-american, asian-american, etc.

I don't know what the OP's motivation was - whether it was some supremacist cry for help or not - but I have no problem with anglo-American.

Unlike tindo80, I don't see what socio-economic / power has to do with it or think that just because a group has money/power that they are not allowed to exist. There is nothing wrong with being proud of one's cultural heritage, just so long as it doesn't become a sense of superiority over others or some effort to separate all the races. That wouldn't bode well for my relationship.

Call yourself whatever you want. It has nothing to do with your "cultural awareness".

I immediately demand not having to check a box or tell anyone what race I am.
