[Dan27165]

If Americans have a habit of calling all Euro/Americans ‘Angl-‘ then it is just plain wrong. ‘Anglo-‘ as a prefix means English… and it’s not surprising the Scots, Welsh and Irish are unhappy with this tag being given to them. We may all inhabit the same island, but that doesn’t make us the same race (far from it… and the unpopularity of the idea of a ‘British race’ was seen in the recent British elections). I would no more call an Irishman an ‘Anglo-American’ than I’d call the present President an ‘African American’ (!!)
